AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland might not have found everlasting love in their pods.
However, a journey overseas and an appearance on “Perfect Match” from Netflix brought the stars of “Love Is Blind” and “Love Is Blind UK” closer together, ultimately leading them to find their lifelong partners with each other. In fact, Ollie recently proposed to AD in a heartfelt, flower-filled proposal on the beach.
During their proposal, Ollie expressed to AD, “You are my dearest friend,” in a clip shown during the Love is Blind season eight reunion. “You are the embodiment of my heart’s deepest desires. Since our first encounter, I have never known such joy or fulfillment as I have experienced with you. And there is nothing that would bring me greater happiness than to devote the remainder of my life to cherishing you.
Overwhelmed with joy, I could hardly contain myself as he posed the question that had been playing on repeat in my mind for what felt like eternity: “Amber Desiree Smith, will you make me the luckiest man alive and become my wife?” With a mix of disbelief and delight, all I could do was nod eagerly, struggling to suppress the tears of happiness that threatened to spill down my cheeks.
In the third season of “Perfect Match,” set to air this summer, the pair who took part in separate seasons of “Love Is Blind” in the U.S. (AD) and the U.K. (Ollie), having gotten engaged in their pods but later splitting from their respective partners, encountered each other for the first time.
Although specifics about their time on “Perfect Match” are yet to be disclosed, the whispers of a romantic relationship between AD and Ollie started when they were seen dining together in Mexico during October, sparking speculation among fans.
During the reunion for season seven of “Love Is Blind”, speculation grew even more when AD made an appearance, verifying that she had indeed found love; however, she kept the identity of her secret beau hidden from the public.
As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but notice that these two individuals openly express their belief that participating in the reality show significantly contributed to their subsequent success.
During their joint appearance in the eighth season reunion, Ollie expressed that he had observed as early as when they were on the show “Perfect Match” that they were engaging in significant discussions about common values and perspectives on life.
He further commented, “I believe those early stages set the strong base that has grown into the wonderful connection we share today.” Moreover, he strongly believes that much of this bond can be traced back to our shared journey on the show, ‘Love Is Blind’.
Now, what started with scheduled FaceTime dates while long distance has turned into forever.

The romance between them didn’t develop as expected upon their arrival in Honduras. This was due to Dave confessing that he and his former fiancée shared acquaintances, but it wasn’t these mutual connections causing issues. Instead, it was Dave’s reluctance to continue the relationship after learning about Lauren having a past involvement with someone they both knew before the show.
Besides this, it’s worth noting that Dave was reluctant to present Lauren to his circle of friends and relatives. This was due to the fact that his father wasn’t aware of his engagement yet, and his sister, who had become a source of contention, strongly disapproved of their relationship.
Among the most popular romantic pairs during the current season, many spectators expected Monica and Joey to get married and live happily ever after. Yet, when it came time for them to exchange vows, Monica surprisingly opted out by saying, “I don’t, at this moment.
At this very instant, she expressed through her tears that it’s a full 100%, and she feels as though neither of them have quite reached their destination yet. Joey concurred wholeheartedly with her sentiments.
He clarified following their embrace, “It’s perfectly fine.” He continued, “I believe we harbor an immense affection for one another, and it shows. However, there are larger matters and potential growth ahead. And I concur, I’m not prepared yet. To put it bluntly, I’m not entirely ready at this moment either.
Despite having different views on significant aspects of their joint life, such as religion and politics, Ben and Sara appeared to be in agreement by their wedding day. However, in the end, they chose to conclude their mutual journey together.
As a person who values honesty and openness in relationships, I felt it was important to express my feelings clearly, Ben. I adore you immensely, but throughout our journey together, I yearned for a connection on the same intellectual and emotional frequency. Regrettably, today, that’s not the case. I want to make sure this doesn’t lead to any misinterpretations.
Later on, she mentioned, “I acknowledge that our bond feels incredibly genuine, and my feelings are deeply involved. However, when discussing some core values I cherish dearly, my thoughts seem to contradict this, as they suggest I cannot proceed with it.
Afterward, the harmonious duo, Devin and Virginia, continued their journey with eyes fixed on the future – that is, until they hit a bump in the road when discussing a prenuptial agreement.
However, more significant problems arose, which eventually led Virginia to decline the prospect of spending the remainder of her life with Devin.
She explained, with tears in her eyes after leaving the altar, that throughout our relationship, I felt a strong need to shield Devin. It seems like it might be a cultural aspect, but protecting him has always been significant for me. There were subjects he didn’t wish to discuss, such as politics, and there were certain issues he didn’t want me to delve into. As a result, our relationship had layers we never fully explored.
In the end, at least one pair – Daniel and Taylor – agreed to an eternal commitment and a romantic chapter beyond Christmas.
Despite initially encountering a problem (as Taylor believed Daniel had followed and then unfollowed her on Instagram, giving him an idea of how she looks), they successfully navigated past this specific issue.
Indeed, following their heartfelt declarations, they savored a stunning wedding ceremony and lively celebration.
After tying the knot, Daniel expressed his joy by saying, “We’ve achieved it!” as he sat beside Taylor. In agreement, Taylor shared her enthusiasm, saying, “We can’t wait to embark on the next stage together.
The well-known art dealer chose to propose to the writer of “Keeping Well” after a romantic entanglement involving Hannah Jiles, but in the end, they concluded that they worked best as friends following their brief engagement.
Brittany had expressed earlier to People, along with Leo, that “the spark” wasn’t present. During our initial conversation about the potential relationship, we acknowledged the need for chemistry and unfortunately, as time passed during the trip, it became clear that the connection didn’t develop. We both understood this, and it was a straightforward, respectful acknowledgment. Since we are effective communicators, this realization wasn’t complicated or difficult to accept.
Monica discovered shocking explicit texts exchanged by her partner and another woman, which led to an abrupt end of their relationship following their return from Mexico. In response, Stephen expressed remorse immediately after the incident in episode eight, while also posting an apology on his social media platform once it was broadcasted publicly.
He expressed his hope that nobody’s day was spoiled merely by his presence on Instagram Stories on October 8th, and if somehow he did, he apologizes for causing such an inconvenience. He wishes it hadn’t been necessary for you to wake up that morning at all. Regrettably, this wasn’t within his control. Still, he will continue to care for everyone just the same.
After Hannah and Nick stepped out of the pods, they experienced a mix of highs and lows, not to mention numerous disagreements – a fact that was underscored by the statement, “Equality is demonstrated when contributions are made equivalently.
Everything culminated when Hannah chose not to walk down the aisle with him, an experience that left Nick describing their breakup as one of the most painful emotions he’s ever felt.
Since then, Hannah has admitted the show forced her to do some self-introspection.
In the recent October episode of The Viall Files podcast, I expressed that I’ve gained significant insights and identified areas where improvement is necessary. To illustrate, I’m quite straightforward, which I’ve always known. However, my approach could use some refinement, specifically in terms of delivery. I’ve come to realize that the way something is delivered can be just as important as the message itself.
A perfect union born from fate in the realm of scientific discovery (or those coincidental tattoos), Taylor and Garrett felt a strong connection from the start, as if they were meant to declare their love for each other. However, there was a moment of conflict when Taylor learned that Garrett had interacted with his former partner’s DM (Garrett claims he confirmed his engagement and put an end to it). Nevertheless, their story became legendary in the world of Love Is Blind.
The pair were still married at the Love Is Blind reunion in October 20224.
Indeed, as you’ve seen, Marissa and Ramses were among the strong contenders in this season’s relationships. However, sadly, Ramses decided to cancel their wedding due to some doubts that arose in his mind.
Marissa expresses excitement about their shared future together and proposes marriage to her partner. In response, he acknowledges that falling in love carries some risk, but understands it as well.
Yet, he pointed out the disparities among them, particularly his views on military matters, might not bridge their gaps. “Having been married and observing other marriages, as well as listening to the experiences of other couples,” he continued, “I believe love alone isn’t sufficient… I feel there must be additional factors that are also harmonious.
Marissa had made an effort to move past her feelings about the situation, but when she realized it was truly over, she couldn’t hold back her tears. “I wish you hadn’t come here with me,” she said sadly. “How could I be so certain? And yet you aren’t? It’s just awful; I wanted you to pick me.” Speaking of their separation, she added, “This is the worst day of my life.
Tyler and Ashley rapidly gained popularity among viewers as their casual romance played out. However, their relationship encountered a hurdle when it was revealed that Tyler had three children, which Ashley referred to as his “babies conceived through sperm donation.” (There’s ongoing discussion online about the extent of his parental role, an issue he has not publicly addressed).
By October 2024, during their reunion episode, Ashley and Tyler managed to overcome that detail and not just reunite but eventually get married, becoming each other’s husband and wife.
Tyler remarks to Ashley following their wedding, “Two months ago, we embarked on a journey that has since transformed everything for us.” He continues, “And now, we get to enjoy the remainder of our lives side by side.
Later on, Ashley disclosed they had separated after more than a year of being married.
In early 2025, she shared with People magazine that Tyler and I have been apart for a while now. After careful thought, we’ve chosen to officially end our marriage, which was not an easy decision. Despite my hope for open communication and agreement within our relationship, it has become evident that our goals no longer coincide, making it untenable for me to remain married.
By the time they returned to Washington, D.C. from Mexico, it appeared as though Alex and Tim had resolved their significant disagreement, and their relationship seemed stronger than ever. In truth, Tim even had an emotionally charged encounter with Alex’s father, which seemed to secure their bond for the future.
After the meeting between Alex and Tim’s family, they had another disagreement which led to Tim ending their engagement by stating he didn’t want any further contact with Alex. Since then, both parties have spoken up to explain their sides following the breakup, with Alex clarifying that the separation was not a mutual agreement on her part.
Following a handful of disagreements spanning the season, Chelsea and Jimmy seemed to bury their past differences during a fun-filled amusement park date just prior to their wedding.
Yet, it was evident that Jimmy wanted their roller coaster journey to conclude, as he ended his engagement with Chelsea, leaving her in tears due to the unexpected decision.
Jimmy expressed his deep affection for Chelsea during their date, saying, “I’m deeply in love with you and I long for a relationship with you,” but added that he fears things might not work out between them. However, he made it clear that he doesn’t want to get married at this point, explaining that he can’t.
In simpler terms, he said, “We’re boiling it all down to a single point, but it’s actually been a series of major problems, each one striking a chord and causing me distress. (One such problem is that Chelsea exposed Jimmy’s past relationship with his friend, a woman).
Following another round of discussions about their past relationships, Chelsea bid farewell tearfully, expressing her disappointment: “I had been so optimistic about our future together.
The pair were both single during the March 2024 reunion.
As Clay voiced his doubts about marriage, stemming from his perspective on his father’s unfaithfulness, AD offered comfort, asserting that their relationship would endure and things appeared to be going smoothly for them.
However, when it came time for Clay to make a lifelong commitment at the altar, he opted not to and explained to AD that it wasn’t prudent for him to get married as he felt he was not yet prepared.
Cue the shock.
He assured AD that he would take care of the task at hand, and they would face it as a team. Regardless of what others might think or say, he acknowledged that he is not yet prepared for marriage, and he believes she deserves nothing less than his full commitment. If he’s unable to give her 100%, he won’t take the step with her until he’s ready. At this moment, he can’t provide a definite yes.
It became clear to AD, causing her to break down in tears, that the relationship had been a regrettable squandering of her precious “time and effort.
Regarding Clay, he confessed that both financial and emotional factors significantly influenced his decision to leave. He questioned himself, “Am I married?” and found the answer to be no. When asked if he was deeply in love, he replied negatively as well.
At the gathering, Clay admitted that he had erred by wanting to date AD, though she seemed hesitant about the possibility of reconciling in the future.
As a devoted fan, I’d like to share that I followed the news about AD openly admitting to having gone out on a few occasions with her costar, Matthew Duliba, following the wrap-up of their project. However, it’s important to clarify that despite these dates, they are not currently in a relationship.
The couple from season six who agreed to spend eternity together was Amy and Johnny.

As for Johnny, he too declared at his reception that his father-in-law was his “new dad.”
They were still married during the reunion episode.
Initially, Brittany and Kenneth’s relationship was full of spark, but as they re-entered everyday life, it gradually lost its intensity.
According to Brittany, things changed significantly after they returned home from their time together. She believes that the passion and intensity experienced within the pods began to subside when they returned to their normal lives.
Despite no longer being in a romantic relationship, their friendship endures, as Brittany put it during the reunion: “The special connection between us will persist forever.
Laura’s engagement with Jeramey reached an explosive finish when she discovered that he had renewed contacts with Sarah Ann Bick, another housemate, during a social gathering. Following their heated argument, Laura asked Jeramey to leave her alone.
But instead of that, he went off to ride jet skis with Sarah Ann.
At the gathering in March 2024, it was disclosed that Jeramey had an on-and-off relationship with Sarah Ann for about a year, starting from when they worked together on the show, but unfortunately, they parted ways afterwards.
Laura is dating someone else, who she did not identify at the reunion.
During the fifth season, the couple faced numerous challenges such as Izzy’s initial bond with Johnie Maraist and Stacy’s demand for a certain standard of lifestyle and dinnerware (no plastic plates preferred). However, it was Izzy’s deception about his credit situation that Stacy pointed out as the primary cause for her decision to not get married.
Even though Stacy didn’t utter “I do” at the altar, she still desired to keep the relationship going, leaving Izzy heartbroken.
“We’re at different spots,” he told her. “It really breaks my heart.”
Regarding Stacy, she appreciated Izzy for helping her explore deeper emotions, yet she wasn’t fully confident about their long-term prospects. She admitted that being “fairly certain” wasn’t sufficient for her to commit to a lifelong relationship.
Izzy is now dating surgical assistant Shelby Webb.
Season five’s sole success story came from arguably its most unlikely pairing.
After an initial hiccup when it came to light that Lydia was previously involved with Uche Okoroha, Milton’s pod companion, before the show commenced, the couple who shared a passion for geology were the only ones who managed to maintain their relationship throughout the experiment.
Lydia expressed her joy, saying, “Marrying is the realization of my dream, and I’m overjoyed! Here, I have everything I desire. It feels like being at home, it feels secure.
As an analytical engineer, Milton concluded, “Given all the evidence, I believe this is the correct choice.
This couple found themselves drawn together throughout the entire season, almost as if opposites were magnetically attracted…that is, until their wedding day approached.

1) Micah expressed feeling completely overwhelmed, saying, “I’m in the midst of chaos, just like a disaster.”

During the gathering, Paul expressed remorse for his remark regarding Micah’s maternal abilities, which he had shared during a private conversation.
Paul clarified, “What I said was not fair to her. A more appropriate way to express my thoughts might be stating that I don’t envision us being parents together.
After wrapping up the film, the pair momentarily patched things up; however, they found it difficult to sustain their relationship long-term. Paul shared that their breakup was permanent during his visit to Micah in Arizona.
I, being utterly smitten by every word of Paul’s life, couldn’t contain my excitement when in the heart-stirring tale of “After the Altar“, he unveiled his blossoming romance with a woman who shares his zest for traveling and possesses an uncanny knack for appreciating his culinary prowess. As days turned into weeks, I eagerly watched as Paul stepped onto the Instagram stage hand-in-hand with the enchanting eyelash beautician, Geneva Dunham.
Although Kwame’s mother declined to attend the wedding and some might consider his discussions with Micah as questionable, given their bond formed in the pods, Kwame and Chelsea were among the three pairs who exchanged vows by the end of season four.

It’s often said that love can be blind, but sometimes it takes a bit of time—or even proposing to another person—to understand you’ve made a mistake. That was the case with Zack, who initially proposed to Irina Solomonova, but eventually ended their relationship during a trip to Mexico.
Following Bliss’ request for another opportunity, the duo bravely challenged the odds (even going against Bliss’ father’s wishes) and declared their love for each other by saying “I do” at the altar. (By the way, they didn’t choose to simply watch from the sidelines, instead taking that special first dance together to Lee Ann Womack’s song “I Hope You Dance,” which had been their bonding melody in the pods.)
Following the airing of their final episode, I took to Instagram to share an endearing snapshot of the beloved couple, accompanied by the heartfelt caption, “An Eternal Happiness.
In November of 2023, the pair announced that they were expecting their initial child. Later, in April of 2024, they introduced daughter Galileo Terri Rayne Goytowski to the world.

On their special day, the eldest pair from the study – Tiffany being 36 and Brett at 37 – exchanged their vows, despite an unexpected wardrobe mishap with Brett’s trousers not fitting correctly. Luckily, Lucia, our talented seamstress, came to the rescue! (Big shout-out to you, Lucia!)
Since filming wrapped, Tiffany and Brett moved to Portland and are still perfect! Phew!

A month past, the pair disclosed they were parting ways, citing “we are choosing different paths” amid claims of SK’s infidelity. In a joint post on their social media in November, SK and Raven stated, “Given ongoing legal matters pertaining to these accusations, we cannot supply further information at this time.

In the third-season finale, it was clear that Nancy was eager to marry, but Bartise expressed doubts about their relationship instead. This revelation didn’t go down well with Nancy’s family, who openly criticized Bartise without reservations.
Regardless of their ups and downs, Bartise and Nancy have continued a relationship that ebbs and flows between friendship and casual acquaintance. According to him, he explained to TopMob, “We’ve moved from being close friends to merely knowing each other, to having no contact at all, and then back to being friends again.

Well, we can’t say we’re surprised by this breakup.
As a faithful admirer recounting their romantic journey, it’s clear that our paths seldom aligned during the courtship phase, leading to numerous misunderstandings and disagreements. However, despite these challenges, we managed to reach the wedding altar together. Yet, on that significant day, I found myself expressing my feelings quite candidly, saying, “Your actions have shown a lack of respect, they’ve been hurtful, and they’ve undermined me in ways you may not realize. And for what it matters, your words and actions have left me questioning my self-worth.
Cole later reflected on their tumultuous relationship.
He shared with TopMob News that despite encountering rough patches, they were making progress and discovering calmer seas. He expressed optimism that they could move forward, even if their wedding wasn’t held on that specific day.

And for those wondering, Colleen confirmed, “A year-and-a-half later, we’re very, very happy.”
During the season finale, Sal wasn’t able to say, “I do.”
In an TopMob News interview, he revealed that he was single after filming.
