Is Kit Connor gay?
Although Kit Connor has never come out about his sexual orientation, every hint he gives leads us to believe that the British actor is gay.
After filming the first season of Heartstopper, Kit spoke to reveal that he felt “honored” to be able to represent B in the LGBTQ+ storyline. “It was an honor to play Nick because he’s such a little-known character,” he said.
He believes that bisexual men are underrepresented in the entertainment industry (even less so than women or non-binary people). And as the show explores his character’s journey and mental health struggles, Kit is thrilled to be inspiring a whole new generation of LGBTQ+ youth.
“It’s not just the confusion of, ‘Oh, maybe I like boys? Maybe this isn’t what I think it is’ and then the layer of, ‘Oh, do I like boys? Do I like girls? How do I feel?’” Kit explains.
Heartstopper isn’t a completely happy story, though. There are small elements of bullying and sexual assault. But Kit believes it’s important to show younger kids, especially gay kids, that your life isn’t all about bullying — it “shows the beauty” of gay love, he adds.
Additionally, the actor shared that the scene where his character tells his mother Sarah can be really impactful and impactful “that can really change someone’s life.”
Does Kit Connor have a partner?
No, Kit Connor doesn’t appear to have a partner in 2022. Also, for those wondering, no! He’s not dating his on-screen boyfriend Joe Locke in real life. However, the two had great chemistry in Heartstopper, which naturally led many fans to pair them up.
To recap their on-screen love story, Joe’s character Charlie develops feelings for popular rugby player Nick (played by Kit). But Charlie, who has dropped out of school and has been through some bullying because of it, finds a secret boyfriend, Ben, who meets him in the library during break time but bullies him when anyone else is around.

So when Ben goes from mistreating Charlie to making girlfriends to putting Charlie down, Nick comes to the rescue. And this is how the two build their friendship into something more.
Looking back on filming, especially the kiss scene rehearsals with Joe, Kit revealed that things could have gone better. According to the star, Joe is a coffee lover. So he would always come to the set and drink coffee right away. And because of this, Kit was “severely punished” in many of the kiss scenes.
Kit recalled an incident where Joe was still holding his coffee cup when the director asked them to rehearse a kissing scene. “That was hard for me! I think maybe next time I should eat an egg sandwich or something like that first. Revenge!” the actor joked.
