Connor Tomlinson isn’t the only star of Love on the Spectrum – his whole family is! Fans quickly took a liking to the Georgia-based brood and when they returned for season 3, fans were asking for them to star in their own show.
In Touch introduces readers to Connor’s mother and siblings who have been an unwavering support amid his dating journey.
Connor Tomlinson’s Mom
Connor’s mom, Lise Menard Smith, became a star herself after their Love on the Spectrum debut during season 2. Lise is patient with Connor and is effortlessly nurturing to her kids – and everyone else she comes across.
That said, Lise keeps it real, especially with her children.
During a season 3 episode, Lise checked Connor after he revealed he doesn’t tip more than $5 when he goes to a restaurant.
“If you got great service and you gave someone a $5 tip, that’s an insult,” Lise said to Connor.
Connor lives with his mother and his stepfather. However, he plans to move out – and into a guest house on their property.
Connor Tomlinson’s Dad
Lise and Connor’s father are divorced, and the family patriarch has not appeared on Love on the Spectrum. However, he is still in his children’s lives and often visits them in Georgia.
“Had a grand time at @mercedesbenzstadium watching Team USA last week with my dad and brothers!” Connor captioned the July 2024 Instagram post, alongside a selfie with the boys of the family.
Connor Tomlinson’s Brother Jack
After watching Love on the Spectrum season 1, Jack Tomlinson, did everything in his power to land Connor a spot on the Netflix series.
“I tweeted Cian O’Clery, the director, and thought there was no way he’d ever answer me,” Jack told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in April 2024. “Six months later, he responded and told me to have my mom reach out.”
After Lise gave Cian a call, Connor had a few Zoom interviews with producers, who were interested in him and wanted to visit their home.
“That’s when we took a pause,” the family matriarch told the publication at the time. “We never imagined it’d really happen, but when Cian wanted to come out, we realized this might really happen. We talked with Connor, of course, and we talked to his dad, and all of Connor’s siblings. We knew this would put Connor and the rest of us on a global stage. We have a big, blended family and we wanted everyone to be OK with it. Ultimately, it was up to Connor, and he wanted to go for it.”
Jack made cameos during season 3 and he often gave Connor dating advice, while also keeping the spirits high throughout the household.
Jack is an entrepreneur and runs his clothing brand, Unique.
Connor Tomlinson’s Brother Ben
Connor’s other younger brother, Ben, doesn’t appear on the show. However, he has participated in YouTube videos with his siblings on Jack’s channel.
Ben has an Instagram account, but there are no photos on his grid.
Connor Tomlinson’s Sister Anna
When Anna isn’t featured on Love on the Spectrum, she is running the social media account of sandwich chain Jimmy Johns as their social engagement specialist.
As for her love life, Anna is in a relationship.
