Love on the Spectrum’s Georgie Harris is revealing her new boyfriend after splitting from fan-favorite Connor Tomlinson.
“Luke and I have been waiting for a little time after the series came out to tell you guys about him,” Georgie wrote via Instagram on Sunday, April 12. “We have been dating for a while. The series takes about a year to film then they have to decide what are the best scenes to have in LOTS.”
She continued, “Luke has Williams Syndrome was my friend for 3 years prior and matches my energy I would like you to say Hello to Luke. These pictures are mostly from Valentines Day this year and Prom Possible.”
Alongside the announcement, Georgie shared a compilation of photos featuring the pair dressed in their best. In one black-and-white photo, Georgie placed her arm around Luke’s shoulder as the couple smiled for the camera. Connor and his mom, Lise Menard Smith, both “liked” Georgie’s public announcement.
Connor and Georgie’s romance had been chronicled on Netflix’s hit reality dating show Love on the Spectrum, which chronicles people on the autism spectrum as they attempt to find love. Connor, a notable favorite of the series, starred in during seasons 2-4, at which point he memorably met Georgie. The pair, however, called it quits during the fourth season.
“It was my decision to end things,” Connor exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the show’s premiere earlier this month. “Georgie and I … this season was the longest time we spent with each other. The more we did, the more we came to realize we’re just two different people. Good people, yes, but not each other’s people.”
He continued, “What she wanted, I couldn’t give her. What I wanted, she couldn’t give me. We both decided it was for the best.”
Since going their separate ways, Connor and Georgie have remained on good terms. “She wanted to wish me a happy early birthday. I told her, ‘Thank you,’” Connor told Us.
While Connor continues to look for The One, he announced his exit from Love on the Spectrum ahead of season 5.
“It is with humility and a heavy heart that I share I will not be partaking in season 5,” Connor told Variety earlier this month, after the outlet confirmed the series had been renewed for another season. “I feel like three seasons is enough to tell my story and find love on my own time.”
He continued, “I’ve chosen to pass the torch to the next person who can make it as big as me. Don’t worry about me: I’m still going to be in the acting business, especially voice work. I’ve always been a huge fan of animation and would love to be involved with a TV show.”
