Love on the Spectrum star Georgie Harris just went Instagram-official with new boyfriend Luke after her split from fan favorite Connor Tomlinson, revealing they’ve been quietly dating for a while since the series dropped.

Georgie Harris from Netflix 's Love on the Spectrum just hard-launched a new relationship, and yes, it comes after her split from fan favorite Connor Tomlinson. She did it her way: a casual Instagram drop, a little production nugget, and some very sweet photos.

Georgie goes Instagram-official with Luke

On Sunday, April 12, Georgie introduced her boyfriend, Luke, on Instagram. She said they waited a bit after the season aired to share it publicly, and added that they have actually been together for a while. She also gave a peek behind the curtain: the show films for about a year before producers decide what makes it into the final cut.

Luke, who has Williams Syndrome, was Georgie's friend for three years before things turned romantic. In her words, he matches her energy. Most of the photos she posted were from this year's Valentine's Day and an event called Prom Possible. One standout shot: a black-and-white pic of Georgie with her arm around Luke's shoulder, both of them smiling. And yes, Connor and his mom, Lise Menard Smith, both liked the post.

Where Georgie and Connor left off on the show

If you need a quick reset: Love on the Spectrum follows autistic singles as they date and figure out what they want. Connor was a breakout across seasons 2 through 4, and he and Georgie met during that run. Their relationship ended in season 4.

Connor told Us Weekly ahead of this season's premiere that the breakup was his call after they spent the most time together they ever had during filming. He put it like this:

Good people, yes, but not each other's people.

He also said what she wanted, he could not give her, and vice versa — and that it was ultimately for the best. Post-split, they have stayed on good terms. Georgie recently wished him an early happy birthday, and he thanked her.

Connor is stepping away before season 5

While Georgie moves forward off-screen, Connor is moving on from the show entirely. After Variety confirmed Love on the Spectrum was renewed for season 5, he announced he will not be back.

It is with humility and a heavy heart that I share I will not be partaking in season 5. I feel like three seasons is enough to tell my story and find love on my own time.

He said he is passing the torch to the next person who can make it as big as he did, and made it clear he is not leaving entertainment. He wants to keep acting — especially voice work — and would love to be part of an animated TV show.
