4 Facts About Love on the Spectrum’s Connor
Connor & Emily Have Since Split Up
In Love on the Spectrum U.S. Season 2, Connor paired up with Emily after stepping out of his comfort zone to find the love he deserves.
The pair met at a speed dating event, and the rest was history. Although Connor initially rejected Emily, he eventually developed feelings toward her, noting that he might've been "too hasty."
Emily reciprocated her feelings for Connor, telling him, "I hope you don’t think me blunt or anything but I kind of like you."
Despite that, Connor told TUDUM in January 2024 that they "decided to be platonic" when the show ended, but they still "go out together from time to time:"
"We still keep in contact by text and go out together from time to time. Emily and I have both decided to be platonic. I am still single."
The Atlanta native also talked about how his experience on the show changed his outlook on love and dating, acknowledging the fact that it made him "more open" to the idea:
"It has made me more open to dating and the idea of being in love. The show has taught me that there is a lot of time, effort, and work that goes into dating and getting to know someone. It gives me confidence to know I have been on several dates now. I hope to one day find the right woman."
