TikTok stars Noah Beck and Dixie D'Amelio became friends through the TikTok app. D'Amelio was one of the biggest influencers on the app, having recently just left the Hype House collective to focus on her solo career, and Beck was a member of the Sway House TikTok collective. When they grabbed lunch together in Los Angeles in August 2020, they said they were just friends. After all, D'Amelio had just recently split up with Beck's friend and Sway House collaborator, Griffin Johnson, that July.
Three months later, D'Amelio and Beck confirmed they were in a relationship when Beck posted a photo of D'Amelio on his Instagram story. Since then, they have shared their relationship on social media.
Some fans think it's just a publicity stunt, but Beck said it's the real thing. "We're just like any other normal teenage couple. Yes, we have a huge spotlight on us, and it gets overwhelming — like these constant comments," he told People. "But other than that, we're just two teenagers in love with each other and couldn't be happier."
