Share

Fans of the hit Netflix series Love on the Spectrum were first introduced to Connor Tomlinson in its second season. Known for his witty one-liners and a clear preference for brunettes, Connor quickly became a fan favourite.

The show’s third season, which dropped on Netflix in early April, saw Connor return to the dating game. Although his initial attempts at finding love in Season 2 didn’t pan out, this season proved more fruitful as he struck up a romance with Georgie Harris.

As of now, Connor and Georgie are still an item, growing stronger by the day. Georgie even teased fans with a big hint about their relationship status on her Instagram, leading to calls from excited fans for the couple to get their own spin-off show.

Georgie’s Instagram post read: “SPOILER ALERT, though if you’ve found me, then you have probably already seen Love on the Spectrum Season 3. I am happy to finally be able to say that Connor and I are still together and having a great time. I can’t wait to see him again soon.”

Connor Tomlinson is currently 26 years old, celebrating his birthday on March 17. He is the oldest of four siblings, reports Surrey Live.

Since his star turn in Season 2, he’s become an internet sensation, boasting close to a whopping 800,000 followers on Instagram alone. He keeps his audience entertained with hilarious skits and collabs featuring fellow cast members from Love on the Spectrum.

Connor has also ventured into entrepreneurship, with his own range of merch inspired by his memorable quips from the series. Fans can sport an “I love Brunettes” cap or hoodie, and there’s even a set of stickers up for grabs.

During Autism Awareness Month, Connor showcased his charitable side by donating proceeds from two bespoke T-shirt designs to the Spectrum Autism Support Center.

Connor’s mum tried to play cupid and set her son up on a date with a woman who was blonde. This ruffled Connor’s feathers as he’s been firm on his preference for a brunette partner.

This scene soon blew up online, earning Connor plaudits for standing by his preference. Post-episode, he headed to social media to say sorry with a cheeky video offering a “formal apology” to blondes.

In the clip, he beams at the camera, making a heart shape with his hands, while text reads: “Consider this my formal apology to all blondes.”

His caption alongside it read: “Sorry blondes! But I did find my brunette demigoddess” complete with a monkey-with-hands-over-eyes emoji.

The cheeky post caught the eye of The Bachelor alum Kelsey Anderson, who commented: Stay true to the brunettes king.” Comedian and actress Nikki Glaser couldn’t resist joining in, quipping: “I’m growing out my roots now.”

Love on the Spectrum Season 3 is now streaming on Netflix
