TikTok star Josh Richards shocked the internet after revealing he attempted to date Charli D’Amelio before his infamous fling with her big sister, Dixie.
Dixie notably hosted Josh’s 21st birthday at the end of January. The two also attended the Super Bowl together alongside Dixie’s little sister,Charli,and her boyfriend, Landon Barker, onan apparent double datein February.
However, Joshshut down these rumorsin an interview with Entertainment Tonight in March, saying they were “just friends right now.”
Despite his protests, Josh later admitted that he had “messed around” with Dixie in October… but it looks like he had his eye on the younger D’Amelio sister well before his relationship with Dixie got off the ground.
Fans think Josh Richards admitted to pursuing Charli D’Amelio before Dixie romance
In a January 22 episode of thePast Your Bedtime podcast,Richards admitted that Charli and Dixie’s mom, Heidi D’Amelio, isn’t a big fan of him.
The reason why? Josh claims that it’s because he was ‘talking’ with Charli before moving on to her big sister.
“The mother didn’t like me that much, ever,” he explained. “When I went and talked to Charli for a little bit, or like, then with Dixie.”
