And it was hard to miss The Kid Laroi when he attended the LA Lakers vs Orlando Magic NBA game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on December 12.
The Stay hitmaker, 18, was joined by his TikTok star girlfriend Katarina Deme, 17, as they packed on the PDA courtside before taking their seats in the front row.
