Connor's Blonde Bombshell: Love on the Spectrum Star Eats His Words

Remember when Love on the Spectrum alum Connor Tomlinson swore he’d never date a blonde? Yeah, about that.

The 27-year-old reality star has officially eaten his words—and he’s having fun with it. On Monday, July 6, Tomlinson hard-launched his relationship with girlfriend Sarah Siebert on Instagram, and by Tuesday, July 7, he was already joking about his dramatic change of heart. Over a video of the two posing together while sirens wailed in the background, Tomlinson wrote,“When you say you only date brunettes but fall for a blonde,”adding the caption,“A guy can change his mind right? 👀.”

For fans who’d watched Tomlinson navigate the dating world across seasons 2 through 4 of the Netflix series, this pivot is deliciously ironic. He’d spent years on camera making his preference for brunettes crystal clear—to the point where he’d lovingly referred to his ex, Love on the Spectrum costar Georgie Harris, as his“brunette demigodess.”Harris, 24, and Tomlinson were introduced during season 3 in 2025, but the relationship ultimately didn’t stick. When they split in April, Tomlinson was candid about the reality: they were fundamentally incompatible.“What she wanted, I couldn’t give her. What I wanted, she couldn’t give me,”he told Us Weekly ahead of season 4’s premiere.“We both decided it was for the best.”Harris has since moved on with her own new boyfriend, Luke.

But Siebert isn’t letting him off the hook. She shared a photo of Tomlinson sporting an“I ❤️Blondes”T-shirt, which only amplified the comedic self-awareness. Fans reacted with shock and hilarity—comments flooded in with“But she’s a blonde!?!? 😂”and multiple exclamation points, exactly the reaction Tomlinson seemed to be inviting.

There’s something refreshingly honest about how he’s handling this. Rather than pretending he didn’t have a stated type, he’s leaning into the contradiction, turning what could’ve been awkward into lighthearted banter. In a comment on the couple’s debut post, he wrote,“Sarah and I are just boyfriend&girlfriend and for now that’s good enough for us ❤️‍🔥.”

The timing also marks a significant chapter for Tomlinson. In April, he announced his exit from Love on the Spectrum, telling Variety,“I feel like three seasons is enough to tell my story and find love on my own time.”He won’t be returning for season 5, but he’s got his sights set on the entertainment industry—specifically voice work and animation. So while Love on the Spectrum won’t be following his next chapter, at least we know it involves someone with sandy blonde hair and a willingness to roast him on Instagram. That’s a solid foundation.
