So, it’s safe to say literally everyone has fallen in love with Tanner from Love on the Spectrum.
He and Connor joined the show in season two and, since then, they’ve formed a bromance, and we’ve all gotten to know more about their families.
Since season three wrapped, Tanner has been sharing all kinds of updates with the world, including what a day in his life is like, and the sorts of things he gets up to with his family.
He recently took to the ‘gram to share a video of himself training his brother and dad in the gym. The clip sparked some interest when it comes to Tanner’s parents, as one person asked: “Tanner, is this what your papa does for a career?”
Tanner revealed his dad, Mark, had a whole career as a bodybuilder in his twenties!
He added: “…but it’s just for fitness now. He’s almost 58!”

Although it seems people would like to see more of Tanner’s dad online, he has cropped up here and there.
Back in April, Tanner shared some clips of him and his father, captioned: “Everyone always asks to see my dad. Here he is at Taylor’s wedding and in the gym. My dad is always either working or lifting weights!”
Showcasing his dad’s gym bod, Tanner had a lot of people taking to the comments to say things like “Congratulations are in order for Tanner’s mom.”
More wrote how Mark is “jacked” and others said: “He wasnt hiding his dad from the internet, he was hiding the internet from his dad.”
Another quotes a hilarious line from Connor in Love on the Spectrum season three: “If cop a feel I must, then cop a feel I shall.”
Not only is Mark hot stuff, according to the internet. But, he’s also a family man and a “provider,” according to his loved ones.
Per a 2024 TikTok post, Tanner’s family owns a cotton farm in Clemson, South Carolina.
Tanner captioned the video: “Come visit our family farm and learn about the growing stages of cotton!” and one person replied in the comments: “Oh y’all are rich rich.”
According to Mark, the family grows around 1200 acres of cotton.
Cotton farming can reportedly make upwards of $200k per year, and per Comparably, the average wage for a cotton farm worker is around $85k.
