The friendship between Connor DeLaurier and Jenna Middleton began sometime in Season 10 because Jenna was dating Connor's good friend K.C. Guthrie. This developed into a relationship in the Season 12 episode Ray of Light (1). They are commonly known as Jonnor (Jenna/Connor) or Jennor (Jenna/Connor).     

Friendship History[]

Overview[]

Jenna and Connor have known each other since grade 9, and shared mutual friends: K.C. Guthrie, Clare Edwards, Alli Bhandari, and Dave Turner. However, the two did not have a substantial interaction until Season 12. To prove to Luke Baker that Connor was in fact cared for as a friend, Jenna gave him a kiss on the cheek after helping him pick up the computer parts he dropped in the hall. Connor assumed that this meant Jenna liked him and asked her on a date. Jenna accepted and the two began dating. Their only relationship obstacles were Connor's aversion to sex, and desire to monopolize Jenna's time, but the couple worked through these issues in a mature fashion, and were still together by the time they graduated.
