Anastasia Karanikolaou, or as you may know her if you were also chronically online in 2010, Stassiebaby, may have a new love in her life. For those who haven’t had the bandwidth to actively keep up with Kylie’s original bestie, here’s a quick recap. Stassie was previously in a serious relationship with TikToker Jaden Hossler AKA JXDN, (you may know him if you wear axe body spray and stream on Twitch). Stassie (who is currently 27) was dating Jaden (who is currently 23) from 2022 up until April 2024. JXDN is apparently a hot commodity in the social media star world, as he had previously been in a relationship with Nessa Barrett (another TikTok girlie who is responsible for the viral sound about not acknowledging you ever loved your ex). In fact, JXDN and Nessa made “la di die” together before they broke up after a year, but that’s a whole other painfully niche TikTok tangent for another day. What matters now is Stassie is rumored to have moved on from Jaden Hossler to a new youthful face tatted pseudo internet celebrity: Landon Barker, as in Travis Barker’s son. Is Stassie Karanikolaou dating Landon Barker now? Here’s the evidence.
It’s suspected that Stassie and Landon could be in a relationship after a video leaked in mid-December 2024 of the pair hanging out at an event. In the video, Stassie is seen sitting next to Landon on a couch with other friends, dancing and having a gay ol’ time. Then, the nosey AF followed Stassie and Landon to a different part of the venue to film them. In said second video, Stassie and Landon appear to be loosely holding hands, although frankly, it doesn’t look incredibly romantic to me. Granted, Landon is TWENTY ONE years old, so romance is probably not yet his strong suit.

Following the Stassie tea, Landon clarified soon after in an Instagram Q&A that he is not seeing anyone new following his February 2024 break up from Charli D’Amelio after about two years together. When a fan wrote the question “Do you have anyone special atm?” Landon wrote back “Nope. Sounds cliche but don’t think I’m in place mentally and emotionally type shit [sic]” followed by the crying laughing emoji, ofc.
Well, it’s not messy so much as it is evidence of how weirdly insular the LA celebrity child TikToker circle is. Charli, of the TikTok D’Amelio’s including Dixie, broke up with Landon, who is the son of Travis Barker, who is married to Kourtney Kardashian, whose sister Kylie is best friends with Stassie, who just broke up with her ex Jaden, who shaded her going on vacation. Plus, Landon, Stassie’s rumored new beau, is actually friends with Jaden. Landon recently said in an interview online that the pair had recorded a song together he was hoping to release soon. They even look a lot alike (if the rumors are true, Stassie, baby, you have a type). Basically, it’s like seven degrees of Kevin Bacon but with a lot more Face Tune.
