Inside Landon Barker and Charli D'Amelio's relationship
Barker and D'Amelio have previously announced they were separating following a trip to the Bahamas. The duo announced the split during the season three finale of her family's Hulu series 'The D'Amelio Show', according to E! News.
However, ahead of the episode's air date, the social media star confirmed they had reconciled. "Now, we're obviously at such a great point together, and it's all amazing," D'Amelia said in October 2023.
"Sometimes you take out your frustrations on the wrong people and you just need to know that when you choose to have someone in your life as much as we are in each other's, it's important to be…levelheaded for them and help them make sure that they know what they're worth and so proud," she added.
"Those little extra things that I think we do now that maybe we weren't doing for a while, and it's just gotten so much better," the 22-year-old told Us Weekly.
They have updated their fans on their relationship through social media posts and interviews. Their romance was also marked by moments they shared with their respective families.

D'Amelio and Barker's romance commenced in June 2022 after being set up by her sister Dixie D'Amelio. "When it happened, I set it up," the TikToker said on the BFFs podcast.
"I was just like, saw him, and [was like], 'Why don't you talk to Landon? He seems like a nice kid. Your type, I guess.' And I didn't think any more of it. I don't know. I was being a good older sister," she said at the time.
