Charli D'Amelio [1] made her debut on "Dancing With the Stars [2]" on Sept. 19, and her boyfriend, Landon Barker [3], was there to cheer her on. "He was very proud of me," the TikTok star told People [4] after the show. "He's never seen me dance before, so I think I was nervous, but he's always been so supportive." D'Amelio and her onscreen dance partner, Mark Ballas, received the night's highest score for their performance set to a remix of Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage."
Rumors of D'Amelio and Barker's relationship first emerged in June when Barker, 18 — who is following in the footsteps of his musician father, Travis Barker [5] — was seen with D'Amelio [6] after one of his shows. Later that month, a source told People that "they're seeing each other, and it's early stages." The pair went TikTok official [7] in July when Barker shared a clip of the pair cozying up together.
While D'Amelio may have her boyfriend's support on "Dancing With the Stars," she's also facing steep competition — not least from her own mother, Heidi, who is also competing this season. "We love each other. But she wants to win. I want to win," Heidi told People before the show aired. "But at the end of the day, there can only be one winner."
