Who Is Kit Connor Dating Now?

Heartstopper has definitely captured the essence of young queer love. Fans of the Netflix show might be wondering who Kit Connor, who plays Nick Nelson, is dating now.

Kit Connor came out as bisexual on X (formerly Twitter) after people accused him of queerbaiting. He wrote, “Back for a minute. I’m bi. Congrats for forcing an 18 year old to out himself. I think some of you missed the point of the show. Bye.” In an interview with British Vogue, he clarified his statement: “I think ‘forced’ isn’t the right word I would use, but I would say that I would have preferred to do it another way. I also don’t know if I would have ever done it. But at the end of the day I don’t regret it. In many ways it was really empowering.”

He’s become one of my favorite people. I was so excited to meet him because I loved [Heartstopper] beforehand, but after getting to work with him and learning from him, we became each other’s biggest cheerleaders. We were working really hard hours, but the more time we got to know each other and the more time we spent together, it just was more and more enjoyable.”
