Ashtin Earle & Landon Barker: The Rumor Mill Gets Busy

It’s hard to ignore the buzz when two young celebs keep popping up on each other’s Instagram stories, red carpets, and TikTok clips. Over the past few weeks Ashtin Earle—still riding the wave of her Netflix reality show Earle Meets World—has been seen alongside Landon Barker, the 22‑year‑old son of punk‑rock legend Travis Barker.

First, there was the August 11 premiere of Travis Barker’s documentary Louder Than Fear. A quick scroll through Ashtin’s TikTok showed her walking side‑by‑side with Landon into the theater, flanked by his dad, step‑mom Kourtney Kardashian, and a few siblings. The clip was short, but fans certainly didn’t miss the casual arm‑around‑shoulder moment.

Fast forward to September 1, when Ashtin’s own series rolled out its first episode in Los Angeles. Landon didn’t share a photo with her on the carpet, but he was definitely there, laughing with other friends and catching a glimpse of his future sister‑in‑law on the red carpet. The subtle presence sparked a lot of speculation.

Adding fuel to the fire, influencer Carter Gregory posted a short video in July that featured Ashtin, her sister Alix, and Landon hanging out. The comments section exploded: “Wait, is this a thing?” one user wrote, while another simply said, “Ashtin + Landon would be hot together.” Even a screenshot of Ashtin’s Instagram Story—showing a pair of arms that match Landon’s distinctive tattoo—started trending among fans.

Neither Ashtin nor Landon have officially confirmed anything, but there are a few breadcrumbs worth noting. Landon has liked several of Ashtin’s posts since July, and he’s been tagged in a few Stories that hint at a “good time together.” Meanwhile, Ashtin posted a tongue‑in‑cheek TikTok on May 4 declaring she was “done dating” after a string of awkward encounters. The timing feels…interesting, to say the least.

Of course, it’s not the first time the internet has turned a casual hangout into a full‑blown romance narrative. Over the past year we’ve seen the same pattern with pairs like Jacob Elordi & Kendall Jenner, Tom Cruise & Ana de Armas, and even Megan Thee Stallion & Klay Thompson—lots of public outings, endless speculation, and usually a polite statement from a publicist (or nothing at all).

For now, the best we can do is watch the Instagram likes roll in and enjoy the occasional TikTok cameo. Whether they’re just friends, dating, or simply using each other’s star power for a bit of fun, the reality‑TV world loves a good mystery.

One thing’s for sure: summer is prime time for new romances, and as the heat rises, so do the rumors. Keep an eye on their socials—you never know when the next screenshot or red‑carpet moment will pop up.
