TikTok star Charli D'Amelio made her relationship with musician Landon Barker Instagram official on July 17, 2022. While things are still at a nascent stage, Charli D'Amelio's father Marc D'Amelio has commented on the newly formed relationship.
When questioned by a leading tabloid, Marc hesitated at first, but later gave a some-what diplomatic answer when he said:
“I don’t get involved in that, but if Charli’s happy then I’m happy.”
Apart from being a politician and an entrepreneur, Marc D'Amelio is also well known as for his videos on TikTok, where he has a 10 million strong following.
Charli D'Amelio and Landon Barker have not made any public appearances post the announcement. For those unversed, Landon Barker is drummer Travis Barker's son.
The young couple were close friends for a long time before they decided to take their relationship to the next level. From leaving events together, to being photographed at parties and even creating TikTok videos featuring each other, the duo have been in the public eye for quite a while.

In 2021, Marc had to face social media flak after one of his old tweets from 2019 went viral on TikTok. The original tweet read:
“Not sure when I became a ‘white guy’… I grew up an Italian boy from New York with the last name D’Amelio living in Connecticut. I always felt inadequate. We all have a story that our skin color may not tell.”
The tweet did not sit well with his fans, with some posting comments such as, “Charli come get your father” and “No way that’s real."
Needless to say, Marc went on to delete the original post.
