Mackenzie Ziegler took the world by storm as a child, thanks to her iconic appearance on Dance Moms. Although the show is now remembered for its drama and controversy, it was also the vehicle that birthed wealthy celebrity personalities such as JoJo Siwa.

Denying Dating Rumors With Tacoda Dubbs
Back in May, just days after Mackenzie announced her breakup with Isaak Presley, she shared a video with Tacoda Dubbs (whose real name is Cody), where they were having a staring contest and their choice of music was a love song. So naturally, many fans started shipping them in the comment section, but Mackenzie clarified that they were just friends.
Then her mom, Melissa Gisoni, stepped in and tweeted, "She isn't dating anyone, please stop being mean. How would you like it if everyone judges you for everything you do? Kenzie is a great kid!"
In June, Tacoda appeared as a guest on Mackenzie's Instagram Live, where both of them cracked several jokes and seemed to know a lot about each other. Again, fans said something was going on between the two, but they didn't talk about any relationship.
Going Official
Later, Mackenzie seemingly confirmed a new relationship when she shared a snap to her Instagram Stories on August 11 of the TikTok star wrapping his arms around her waist. The pair enjoyed a trip to the beach.
She also posted gorgeous snaps of the day out, including one with her sister Maddie, a picture of Tacoda wandering down by the sea, and a beautiful sunset. One of Mackenzie's friends commented and said they were a great couple, but the comment was deleted.
