“As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of emergency fetal surgery,” she continued. “I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can understand that feeling of fear. I have a whole new understanding and respect for moms who had to fight for their babies when they were pregnant,” she concluded. , “Praise be to God. Leaving the hospital with my little son in my belly and safe was a real blessing. 🙏🏼🤍.”
Travis, 47, also shared a tweet about the situation, writing: “God is great. I flew home for our baby’s emergency life-threatening surgery and I’m so thankful she went well.”

Charli has been in a relationship with Landon, 19, since July 2022. At the D’Amelio Footwear pop-up, she told PEOPLE that it was “really fun” to be on set for the third season of her family’s Hulu reality series. The D’Amelio Show (premiered on September 20) with him.
“He has great energy,” she said. “He always comes whenever we shoot, full of energy, ready to tell jokes forever. Once he wasn’t even supposed to be. He just stopped by and we ended up laughing, the three of us, in the kitchen for about an hour just from his stories…It’s even funnier to play little clips to him and say, ‘Listen to what you said because this is hilarious’.”

Charla was joined at the pop-up by her sister Dixie, 22, and their parents Marc, 54, and Heidi, 51, who promised fans there was a lot in store for the new season of the show.
“Like any family, there are bumps in the road, and sometimes time just heals,” Heidi said. “[We learned] how to communicate with each other because we all communicate differently. I feel like when you go through tough times, the best part is coming out of it closer and stronger and learning, okay, next time, I think we’d handle things better.”

Since their first season of the show in 2021, Charli said they’ve all “come so far”.
“There’s something really interesting about watching your own journey,” she said. “It’s very, very weird, but it’s also very cool.”
“When we were shooting the first season, it was [during COVID-19]and you’ve seen a lot of interaction of just us and our interpersonal relationships,” Marc added. “Now we have this whole life just outside of our house, and Dixie and Charli live in another house.”

In addition to the exhibition, the family remains focused on their pop-up, which will remain open until September 26. Their physical store showcases their footwear collection that includes sandals, boots, platforms, sneakers and heels in a range of colors from muted neutrals to hot pinks and electric blues.
“It’s really cool,” Dixie said. “Seeing people walking around with D’Amelio Footwear bags is just crazy to see. To see how far [the brand’s] come [since we launched in May] because now to have a store in The Grove, which is such an iconic place in LA, it’s just so exciting.”
He added to Charli: “People can feel the shoes and we can hear their feedback in real time. I think there are so many exciting parts when we see people walk out of this pop-up with the shoes we’ve created in their hands.”
