Connor Tomlinson quickly became a fan favorite on Netflix’s Love On The Spectrum. The reality show follows people on the autism spectrum as they navigate life and love. He revealed earlier this year that he won’t return for Season 5 after splitting from co-star Georgie Harris. But that doesn’t mean he’s done with reality TV completely. While he “loves” Dancing With The Stars, he revealed the one thing holding him back from joining the ABC show. Keep reading for all the details, including an update on his love life.
Love On The Spectrum Star Debuts New Romance
Connor Tomlinson, 27, joined Love On The Spectrum in Season 2. The show followed his venture into the dating world for the first time. Despite his best efforts, he didn’t find love that season. However, things changed in Season 3. He formed a connection with co-star Georgie Harris.
But they split off-camera during a trip to London in Season 4. Shortly afterward, he announced that he wouldn’t be returning for Season 5, choosing to focus on his career instead. Now, he has another main focus: his new relationship.
Connor Tomlinson hard-launched a new relationship in July. He’s dating Sarah Siebert, an after-school teacher. He gushed over his new romance in an interview with Page Six. “To find ‘the one’ would be so life-fulfilling. My life would be at a complete full circle,” the Netflix said. “And it may be too early to say, but I feel like she may be the one.”
He credited his time on Love On The Spectrum for his newfound confidence. “I’m not afraid to take a risk. I’ve gained a lot of great things now, and I’m not afraid to work for them, to earn them, to pull my weight, even if it means pushing past my limits,” he said. However, there’s one risk Connor Tomlinson is hesitant to take – joining Dancing With The Stars.
Connor Tomlinson Reveals What’s Holding Him Back From DWTS
Connor Tomlinson and his Love On The Spectrum co-star Tanner Smith went to a live taping of Dancing With The Stars last season. He said that meeting Andy Richter was a dream come true. He became good friends with Robert Irwin, who went on to win the Mirrorball Trophy that season.
The U.S. Sun caught up with Connor Tomlinson at the same event as Page Six. The outlet asked about the possibility of him joining DWTS. The Love On The Spectrum star revealed why he wasn’t so sure about the idea. “Yes, I would love to [go on Dancing With the Stars] except for one thing – I don’t dance.”
That’s not an outright “no.” However, he has a lot on his plate right now. He hosts a new history facts podcast. Additionally, he’s about to release a memoir with his mom, Lise. Love Ya, Mean It: A Memoir of Parenthood, Autism, and Unconditional Love is set to come out in March 2027.
