Season 4 of Love on the Spectrum introduced new cast members while revisiting fan-favorite couples from past seasons

Newcomers like Logan, Emma and Dylan explored first dates and connections, with some relationships evolving into friendships

Season 4 of Love on the Spectrum saw the return of some fan favorites and the introduction of new cast members, too.

The Netflix show, which follows people with autism navigating the world of dating, returned for its fourth season on April 1.

The new season featured longstanding couples Madison and Tyler, Connor and Georgie and James and Shelley, as well as newcomers Logan, Emma and Dylan.

The season saw them take further forays into romance, with tentative first dates, house-hunting, an amicable breakup and a tear-jerking proposal among the most eye-catching moments.

So, where are the 'Love on the Spectrum' season 4 couples now? From longstanding regulars to new arrivals, here are which couples are still together, and which cast members are still looking for their person.

Madison, who first appeared in season 3, returned for the new season, still with Tyler. She moved to Plant City, Fla., to be closer to him, and they see each other almost every day and go to church together weekly.

In episode 6, Tyler proposed and Madison gave "the easiest 'yes,' " before the couple shared the news with their loved ones.

Through being with Tyler, Madison said that she learned to "always prioritize your partner and show them how much you love them and care for them daily," while Tyler said, "Madison and I pray that our love story as an autistic couple inspires anyone on the spectrum who dreams of falling in love."

They often share updates on social media for fans, too. They attended the CMA Awards in November 2025, while Madison posted photos of them from a Rascal Flatts concert in February 2026, and they shared Valentine's Day messages for each other that same month.

Connor, who first appeared in season 2, found love with Georgie last season, and the pair shared their first kiss toward the end of the run.

At the start of season 4, the couple were still together, and Connor invited Georgie over to the U.K. to meet his grandfather and explore London.

However, their relationship ultimately came to an end after more than a year together. The couple decided to break up following a conversation in which Connor became frustrated when he felt Georgie wasn't listening to him express his feelings.

Ultimately, they realized they may have different senses of humor.

The pair have continued to stay in touch, but not romantically.

James and Shelley

James has been on the show since the first season. He met Shelley online, and they began dating toward the end of season 3. While James began the season living with his parents, the two went hunting for houses in episode 5.

Now, they are officially homeowners.

The "ultimate team," as James described them, also went to Cape Cod on a trip together, where they shared moving conversations over dinner.

Logan and Hailey

Logan joined for season 4 and was hoping to find someone who shared his special interest in trains, with his mom Jessalyn and twin sister Neith helping him find love.

He previously had an imaginary girlfriend, Tifah, but went on a first date with Hailey in episode 2, in which they bonded over a love of cheesecake.

They later went on a second date — after he decided to break up with Tifah — before sharing a first kiss together, and Logan cooked for her family too. The pair met up again following filming, but Hailey decided that they would be better as friends.

05 of 06

Emma and Eric

Fellow newcomer Emma is a big fan of writing romantic fanfiction and expressed her hopes of romance through song on the show.

She shared how her greatest dream in life is to "get married and have a family," and opened up that she's often been in situations where she's liked somebody more than they liked her back.

Emma went on a date with Austin in episode 1, but decided not to take it further. She then met Eric at a tulip garden for their first date in episode 3.

They spoke about how they'd both like to get married and have children in the future, shared a hug and continued to see each other throughout the season. She later invited him to her birthday party, where he met her friends and family for the first time.

However, she ultimately decided they'd be better off as friends.

06 of 06

Dylan and Melissa

Dylan, who described himself as "kind and goofy and funny," was inspired by Shrek and Princess Fiona's love story in Shrek. In the show, he met Caroline at a movie ranch for their first date, and they held hands and hugged and agreed to go on a second date.

However, she called him after and said that she didn't feel ready for a romantic relationship, and they ultimately decided to stay friends.

In episode 6, Dylan went on another date, this time with Melissa. They sat for a portrait together, and both said they were happy to meet again.

However, Dylan walked out of the season single.

Jesse Solomon is making his role in the ongoing drama between his *Summer House* costars very clear.

When fans began questioning how much Solomon knew before Amanda Batula and West Wilson confirmed their rumored romance on social media Tuesday, he stepped into the conversation to say he knew as much as anyone else.

Commenting on an Instagram post that asked if Solomon was the Tom Schwartz to Wilson's Tom Sandoval, he said "I heard the rumors but they were denied to me multiple times. The post referenced Schwartz's part in "Scandoval," the frenzy that erupted after his business partner and *Vanderpump Rules* costar Sandoval cheated on his then-girlfriend of nine years, Ariana Madix, with their friend Rachel "Raquel" Leviss.

Wilson and Batula confirmed their relationship in a joint statement on Tuesday, weeks after gossip blog DeuxMoi reported that they were allegedly hooking up. The statement came a little over two months after Batula announced her split from husband and *Summer House *costar Kyle Cooke.

While several *Summer House *cast members have weighed in on the situation on social media, Solomon has refrained from picking a side. But as another another Bravo star tells it, he'd been dropping hints that a big reveal was coming.

Stopping by SiriusXM's *Smiths Sisters Live *on Tuesday, *The Valley*'s* *Zack Wickham said he heard Solomon's version of the story through the grapevine.

"I will say that one of our friends' cousins was on a vacation and met Jesse Solomon, and he just told her everything and then she told me," Wickham said. "So, I'm like, if what he told her is real, then brace yourselves, America."

Wickham then apologized for stirring the pot, adding, "Sorry Jesse, I didn't mean to throw you under the bus. I'm not saying anything publicly, but oh my God."

Cooke recently broke his silence about his ex's new relationship, saying that he was "more concerned" about his ex than his own feelings. The star claimed that Batula has been getting "cyber-bullied" by the show's viewers amid the drama of her and Wilson releasing their joint statement.

"I'm obviously frustrated, I mean we have a new show coming out and there's so much that gets unpacked there," Cooke told "street journalist" Adam Glyn. "I'm obviously disappointed in her... but just hearing her and hearing how unwell she is, and [her] dark thoughts, I just ask people to just, maybe, pull off the gas a little on the cyberbullying and hate."

Cooke said that he found out about the relationship "over the weekend" and got a heads-up before Batula and Wilson posted their statement. Cooke also shared that he's spoken to costar Ciara Miller — Wilson's ex — and that Wilson himself reached out with a "half-assed text message." He added that he doesn't "understand the timeline just yet" of when the pair got together.

Miller has not spoken out since Batula and Wilson confirmed their relationship, but she no longer follows either costar on Instagram.

Did our English teacher and gym teacher already get married?

That's what fans are wondering after Taylor Swift was referred to as "your wife" in a conversation with Travis Kelce — and he didn't correct the narrative.

On the Wednesday episode of the *New Heights* podcast, Travis and his brother Jason Kelce were joking about Travis going back to college to play basketball in an interview with Jerrod Calhoun, head coach for the University of Cincinnati's men's team.

"Man, you're getting me fired up right now, coach," enthused Travis, who played basketball (in addition to football, of course) at Cleveland High School two decades ago. "I think I got like one semester left of eligibility."

"You gotta ask your wife," replied Calhoun with a smirk.

Travis laughed, and joked about how that conversation might go down with Swift: "Sweetie, I'm going back to school."

The passing comment sparked marriage rumors on social media, flamed by X fan account The Taylor Swift Updates. "THE WEDDING HAPPENED? Travis Kelce seemingly confirmed on New Heights that he's now MARRIED to Taylor Swift."

As the post exceeded 700,000 views, some fans wondered if it was an April Fools joke.

Representatives for Swift and Kelce did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment on the marriage rumors.

It's not the first time a passing comment sparked marriage rumors.

In October 2024, when the couple was still only dating, Troy Aikman accidentally referred to Swift as "the missus" during ESPN's broadcast of the Kansas City Chiefs-New Orleans Saints game.

"You know they're not married," asked play-by-play announcer Joe Buck.

"Oh, I know," Aikman confessed with a laugh. "I'm sure I'm in trouble for saying that."

Ten months later, Swift and Kelce announced their engagement on social media with a carousel of photos from the romantic proposal. "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," Swift captioned the post, a nod to "So High School," her musical ode to Kelce on *The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology*.

At the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 26, Swift credited Kelce for influencing *The Life of a Showgirl*, which won Album of the Year.

"This album probably also feels very happy and confident and free," she said, "because that's the way that I get to feel every single day of my life because of my fiancé who's here tonight."

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the next James Bond film. Recently, a report dropped the identity of the new 007. However, social media went nuts when it turned out to be an April Fool's prank.

Fans react to James Bond casting prank

Euro News released a prank article unveiling the fresh face for the upcoming James Bond film. The report claimed that Irish actress and singer Jessie Buckley has been roped in to play a female James Bond. They further added that Tom Hiddleston will be playing the first Bond boy, known as Fitty McCrotch. Meanwhile, M will be portrayed by Gillian Anderson.

An Amazon spokesperson told the outlet, "We're distancing ourselves from the previous stance held by franchise head Barbara Broccoli, who said that Bond should only be played by a man." They continued, "We're thrilled to have Jessie Buckley on board. Additionally, her initials are also 'JB', so that's delightful." The individual added how her "singing background makes her the ideal candidate for the project." This is because they have "been thinking of adding some musical numbers into the mix."

The spokesperson addressed the gender switch. They said, "It's about time that we shook things up, because most audiences would rather drink wasps (shaken and stirred) than see another cookie cutter version of Bond." They explained, "Daniel Craig was an inspired casting choice, and he showed how the character could be and enriched over his tenure in the role." However, during the casting process, they "realised that trying to follow in his footsteps was a fool's errand." As such, they decided to opt for a radical new interpretation, one which will doubtlessly spark discussion.

While fans were excited, the report was an April Fool's prank. Netizens gave their reactions under the post, with one saying, "Nice try." Another one said, "Good thing it's an April fool's joke. But Euronews wished it wasn't…" A third user commented, "Wish it wasn't April fools. Plenty women have worked in espionage and resistance networks. It might draw a larger audience."

Woman allegedly throws substance on former Fleetwood Mac member: Sources

A woman who has allegedly been stalking former Fleetwood Mac member Lindsey Buckingham is believed to have thrown an unknown substance on the singer-guitarist before running off, sources told ABC News.

The incident unfolded on Wednesday as Buckingham arrived at an appointment in Santa Monica, California, sources told ABC News.

While Santa Monica police are not commenting, sources said the woman is known to law enforcement from previous incidents.

The Los Angeles Police Department's Threat Management Unit is taking the lead on the case. The LAPD said in a statement, "To protect the integrity of the open and ongoing investigation, no further comment will be provided, at this time."

Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac with his then-girlfriend Stevie Nicks in 1975, and the couple became part of Fleetwood's best-known lineup, along with bassist John McVie and singer-keyboardist Christine McVie. Buckingham was a member of the group from 1975 to 1987 and from 1996 to 2018.

The Colorado Avalanche faced a reality check after an 8-6 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, and head coach Jared Bednar did not hold back.

The Avalanche outshot the Canucks 30-26, but the majority of the dominance came in the third period when the Avalanche went 17-6. However, before that happened, the Canucks were in good control of the game with a 6-3 lead.

Speaking after the game, Bednar praised the third-period push but made it clear that partial effort will not work at this stage of the season.

Bednar said playing well for 20 minutes is not enough if the team wants to win in the NHL.

"I like the way we played in the third, but the reality of it is if you want to win in this league, you have to play that way for 60 minutes, and we weren't even close," Bednar said.

"It wasn't a great first, and it got worse in the second, and then yeah, if you want to hand out badges for good effort and stuff like that, I think we're beyond that. This time of year, effort for 20 minutes and doing the right things for 20 minutes isn't good enough."

The game itself was chaotic from the start. Vancouver struck early through Max Sasson, while Nathan MacKinnon responded with his 50th goal. Teddy Blueger and Jake DeBrusk extended the Canucks' lead before Gabriel Landeskog pulled one back late in the first period.

Vancouver took control in the second period. Blueger added another, and Brock Boeser scored twice to make it 6-2, forcing a goalie change. Sam Malinski kept Colorado alive with a late goal before the second break.

The Avalanche showed urgency in the third period. Goals from Parker Kelly and Brent Burns sparked a comeback, and Malinski tied the game 6-6. However, Marcus Pettersson restored Vancouver's lead within seconds. Boeser then sealed the win with an empty-net goal to complete his hat trick.

When asked about defensive pairings, he dismissed the idea quickly. Bednar warned that making excuses for such displays could lead to a short playoff run.

"There's no excuse," Bednar said. "So, if we're making excuses for that performance, it's going to be a short run."

Despite the loss, Colorado remains one of the league's top teams this season. Still, Bednar's message was direct. If his team fails to deliver a full 60-minute effort, their strong campaign could end sooner than expected.
