Caleb Williams took a break from pre-season training with the Bears to jet to Paris with his girlfriend, Alina Thyregod.

The couple attended the star-studded Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring/Summer 2025 show at UNESCO headquarters on Tuesday.

The No 1 pick of the 2024 NFL draft, who was recently named Chicago's starting quarterback, stepped out in an army green shearling puffer jacket.

Williams added a white tee, baggy black trousers and brown work boots, along with a simple silver chain around his neck. 

The signal caller was joined by his stunning Danish girlfriend, who looked chic in a black button-up sweater and a purple mini skirt adorned with the iconic LV logo.

Thyregod added a pair of black patent leather pumps and a matching black handbag, as she tucked her blonde tresses behind her ear. 

Williams also took to social media to share a series of snaps from the couple's European getaway. 

'Flew to Paris for some love,' he captioned a photo dump, which included pics of his girlfriend sitting front row at the French fashion house's show. 

Several other athletes attended the event, including 7-foot-4 NBA player Victor Wembanyama, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Texans wideout Stefon Diggs.  

Williams and Thyregod, who dated when they were in high school before splitting for a few years, made their red carpet debut at the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit in April.

The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner began dating Thyregod during his senior year at the University of Southern California.  

She first hinted at their romance in January 2024 when she posted a goofy TikTok video of Williams hopping onto her back.

The athlete, for his part, confirmed that his 'lady' would be attending the draft in Detroit with him. 

'Wait till yall see draft day suit and my ladies dress,' he wrote on X. '1 of 1s.'

The rookie's French outing comes a few weeks after Matt Eberflus officially named him Chicago's starting quarterback.

He passed for 3,633 yards, 30 touchdowns and five interceptions for the Trojans in 2023

'No conversation. He's the starter,' Eberflus told reporters.

The 22-year-old said he's ready to take the steps to learn how to lead.

'To be a great leader, you have to learn how to follow first. So right now I'm following all the vets, I'm following all the coaches, I'm listening -- having both ears open and my mouth shut -- just kind of sitting back listening,' he explained. 

'When I get to the point of when I learn everything, when I learn the ways of how we do it, the culture, the playbook and what the offensive line, wide receivers are all doing, running backs and tight ends, things like that, then you can start taking the lead, then you can start taking the helms of it and take the next steps.'

In 2023, he passed for 3,633 yards, 30 touchdowns and five interceptions for the Trojans. 

The Bears' season will begin on September 8 when they take on the Titans in Chicago.
