Connor, as well as co-star Tobie Donovan, went out on the town to support Joe Locke and it was the sweetest thing ever.

If there’s one thing Heartstopper fans can’t get enough of, it’s seeing their favorite boyfriends hanging out, on or off the set. And fortunately, social media has recently granted another glimpse into that life.

Kit Connor, along with fellow Heartstopper star Tobie Donovan, visited Joe Locke in New York over the weekend to support him in his turn as Tobias Ragg in Sweeney Todd.

“Well done sweetheart,” Connor wrote on Instagram stories after the show, sharing a pic of the three of them in the theater.

Donovan shared that post and added his own note: “My eyes still puffy from all the crying.”

If the two expressing their support for their pal on social media themselves wasn’t already sweet enough, one X (formerly Twitter) user who claimed to be in the audience of the same performance added their own experience to the mix.

“my favorite thing was after curtain call, all i heard was kit say ‘wow he KILLED it,’” wrote @jyndjarin.

Locke joined the cast of Sweeney Todd at the end of January, making it his Broadway debut. He’s certainly keeping busy, as production on season three of Heartstopper reportedly wrapped midway through December.

Netflix has yet to announce a premiere date for the upcoming season — or secure a renewal for season four — but the timeline for the last season suggests the new episodes should hit the small screen later this year.

In the meantime, we’ll just keep fawning over the friendship between these fan faves!
