According to People, Conor graduated from Massachusetts’ prestigious Deerfield Academy. Although he has generally kept a low profile over the years, Conor made headlines in 2016 when he was arrested for allegedly fighting outside a club while defending a gay friend who had been called a homophobic slur, per the source.

“Like any father, I don’t want to see my son fighting or involved with the police,” his father told People at the time. “But on the other hand, I’m proud that he stands up to bullies.”
