Travis Barker’s son Landon has revealed he has ‘very minor’ Tourette Syndrome.

The 20-year-old musician – who recently split from TikTok star Charli D’Amelio – took to social media to share a short video in which he opened up about his nervous system condition.

He said, ‘Hi guys! I thought I would talk about this eventually. But yes, I actually have very, very minor Tourette’s.’

According to the Mayo Clinic‘Tourette’s syndrome (te-RET) is a condition involving repetitive movements or unwanted sounds (tics) that are not easily controlled.

“For example, you blink repeatedly, shrug your shoulders, or blurt out unusual sounds or offensive words.”

Landon went on to talk candidly about the time he was diagnosed as a young child.

He explained, “I’ve had it since I can remember, like kindergarten.

‘I remember it clearly because a teacher accused me of rolling my eyes at her. Because one of the tics was like this. It was a strange thing I did with my eyes.’

Travis’ son and 48-year-old actress and model Shanna Moakler talked about when the symptoms are noticeable.

He said, ‘Yes, it really only works for me in nervous situations and nerve-wracking environments.

“But I thought I’d just share it, why not?”

Last month he revealed he had split from social media star Charli.

Barker released an Instagram statement on Tuesday, February 6, confirming the breakup.

WHAT IS TOURETTE SYNDROME?

Tourette’s syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by a combination of involuntary sounds and movements called tics.

It usually starts during childhood and continues into adulthood. Tics can be either vocal or physical.

In many cases, Tourette’s syndrome runs in families and is often associated with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Tourette’s syndrome is named after the French physician Georges Gilles de la Tourette, who first described the syndrome and its symptoms in the 19th century.

There is no cure for Tourette’s syndrome, but treatment can help control symptoms.

“Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that Charli and I are no longer together,” the teen wrote.

He then revealed that he and Charli – whose couple name was ‘Chardon’ – had come to the decision amicably and that they remain friends.

‘We broke up to focus on ourselves. We are still friends and have so much love for each other.

“I am incredibly grateful for the time we shared and I hope you can respect our decisions. Thank you, I love you all very much!” Landon concluded.

Charli – the most followed person on TikTok – has not yet publicly commented on the split.

The couple was last photographed publicly on November 16 when they attended the 18th annual L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth Celebration in Hollywood.

They first sparked romance rumors in June 2022 after being spotted together in LA several times, including Charli’s big sister Dixie’s birthday party.

They only confirmed they were in a relationship in July.

“They’ve been nothing but nice to me,” she said enthusiastically PEOPLE in 2022. ‘I am very grateful that he has such a wonderful family around him.’
