Love on the Spectrum's Tina Shares Photos With Pari Amid Relationship
Love on the Spectrum star Tina Zhu Xi Caruso is showing off her sweet relationship with girlfriend Pari Kim.
Tina took to her Instagram on Sunday, April 13, to share new photos of Pari, 23, wearing a purple Rapunzel dress, while her girlfriend rocked a brown skirt and buttoned denim vest. The first snap showed the couple standing beside each other and smiling at the camera, while the second photo featured the pair sharing a kiss.
“Prince Charming and T princess Rapunzel,” Tina captioned the post.
Fans took to the comments to share their love for Pari and Tina.
“If this gets any cuter, I’ll melt,” one user wrote, while another person added, “So happy you guys found each other, you seem very well-suited.”
A third person commented, “You two are the cutest, I’m so happy for both of you!”
Pari made her reality TV debut on Love on the Spectrum season 3, which premiered on Netflix on April 2. The Boston resident was diagnosed with autism at 3 years old and is an avid lover of both trains and princesses. She hoped to emphasize on the show that “age and gender do not matter.”
When it came to her dating goals on Love on the Spectrum, Pari hoped to find her “Princess Charming” who was kind, loving and would have “lots of fun T-ventures” with her, referring to her love for the Massachusets Bay Transit Authority, a.k.a. The T. She found that in Tina.

“[Tina] really is the Amtrak to my Commuter Rail,” Pari told Tudum after season 3’s release. “She just gets me. We both share the same energy, quirkiness, and enthusiasm, and I just love that so much! We make each other laugh and giggle a lot. We really enjoy hanging out together. We are both graduating from college in May and hope to attend each other’s graduations.”
Pari isn’t the only one who hit it off with Tina, either. Her mom, who is battling breast cancer, is getting along great with Pari’s girlfriend, the Lesley University student told the outlet.
“My mom thinks Tina is great and funny and loves how good of a match she is for me,” she said. “She likes how Tina will sometimes text her with photos and silly things. She enjoys Tina and wants to get to know her and her family even more.”
Tina has also gushed about how she can be herself around Pari. In an Instagram post on April 8, the Boston native wrote, “‘So, I’m just trying to learn to how to become more Autistic.’ Tina, S3, E4. Did this actually happen? Yes it did. 7 months later … When I’m around @purpleprincesspari, I can be as she said, ‘Unapologetically Autistic,’ from S3, E4. I never thought I could accept my Autism and unmask. My mom’s reaction to me with Pari for the first time was, ‘Did you become more autistic?’ I told Pari, and we had a good laugh about it. Yep, I have, but what’s good in masking all the time.”
Tina concluded, “I love Pari. She makes me a better person.”
