'Love On The Spectrum' Star Visits CT, Stays In Greenwich

GREENWICH, CT — Reality TV star Tanner Smith of "Love on the Spectrum" fame recently visited Connecticut, making several stops along the way, including a stay at the J House Greenwich, according to a social media post.

Smith, a fan favorite of the popular Netflix show, came to CT to visit Vineyard Vines in Stamford for an autism awareness initiative, a news release on his visit noted.

During his trip, Smith stopped by Sweet P Bakery in Norwalk, a nonprofit bakery with a mission of offering training and employment for adults with disabilities.

At the J House Greenwich, the contemporary boutique hotel located at 1114 E. Putnam Ave., Smith enjoyed dinner with his mother and a close friend at the hotel's acclaimed restaurant, Tony's at the J House.

Smith documented his CT visit in an Instagram reel, which showed him trying some cookies at Sweet P Bakery and enjoying a Shirley Temple with dinner in Greenwich.

Numerous celebrities have visited the hotel and restaurant over the years, from Justin Bieber to Judge Judy Sheindlin.

"Love on the Spectrum" is an Emmy Award-winning documentary series based on the original Australian format that follows young adults with autism who are looking for love and navigating the world of dating and relationships.

Known for his infectious positivity and signature smile, Smith appeared in seasons two and three of the show. Season four premiered on April 1.

Smith announced he would not be appearing in the new season.

"'Love on the Spectrum' was one of the most amazing things to ever happen in my life. It changed everything for me, and I've done things that I never thought I could do. But I have figured something out about myself, and I want to tell you what it is," Smith said in an Instagram video. "Guys, I'm not ready for a serious relationship, and I'm definitely not ready to get married yet. Since that's my truth, it wouldn't be fair for me to be on a show about dating."
