Amber Desiree “AD” Smith and Ollie Sutherland met on Netflix’s Perfect Match Season 3 and quickly became one of the most talked-about reality TV couples. Their relationship moved fast, from meeting on the show to getting engaged and announcing a pregnancy—all before their season aired. Here’s everything you need to know about their journey.
How AD and Ollie Met on Perfect Match
AD and Ollie first connected while filming Perfect Match Season 3 in Tulum, Mexico, in September 2024. The show brings together singles from different reality series to find love through challenges and compatibility tests.
Ollie, who appeared on Love Is Blind UK Season 1, said in a confessional:
“The moment I walked in, it sounds really cliché, but it’s like everyone else became a little bit invisible, and I just had tunnel vision on her. AD’s just got this crazy, fiery sex appeal. The moment I saw her, I said, ‘That’s a problem right there.’ My favorite type of problem, though.”
AD, known from Love Is Blind USA Season 6, also felt an instant spark. They paired up for the first challenge, shared a steamy kiss, and decided to match for the night.
Their Ups and Downs on the Show
Despite their strong start, AD and Ollie faced drama. In Episode 5, AD was shockingly eliminated, forcing Ollie to pair with another contestant, Justine Nbiba, to stay in the game.
When AD returned for a mixer in Episode 6, Ollie didn’t tell her about kissing Justine, which caused tension. AD later confronted him but chose to forgive him.
“I’m not in a good place right now,” Ollie said after AD’s elimination. “She’s my best friend, like, that’s my girl. I don’t want to see her go, and my heart’s breaking for her.”
From Perfect Match to Real-Life Engagement
After filming ended, AD and Ollie kept their relationship private for months. Fans started speculating when AD was seen spending time in London, where Ollie lives.
In March 2025, they surprised everyone by announcing their engagement during the Love Is Blind Season 8 reunion. Netflix played a clip of Ollie proposing on a beach:
“You’re my best friend. You’re the love of my life. I’ve never felt as happy or as complete as I have since I met you, and nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life loving you. Amber Desiree Smith, will you marry me?”
Baby Announcement and Wedding Plans
Just two months after their engagement, in May 2025, AD and Ollie revealed they were expecting their first child—a baby girl. They shared a black-and-white video set to Monica’s “Angel of Mine,” showing them holding ultrasound images.
AD later told Us Weekly:
“Wedding planning is going slowly but surely. We’re just taking it day by day, really. I’m loving being a fiancée, so I’m not really in a rush. We’re going to get married this year at some point.”
In July 2025, they confirmed they had already picked a name for their daughter but kept it a secret.
What’s Next for AD and Ollie?
With Perfect Match Season 3 airing in August 2025, fans finally get to see how their love story began. Meanwhile, the couple is preparing for their baby’s arrival and planning their wedding.
AD has been open about their challenges, saying they’re working on communication, trust, and respect—advice they got from Nick Lachey.
“Ollie and I are working on those three,” AD admitted on her podcast. “Those are three things that we are battling right now.”
Despite the ups and downs, their fast-paced romance has fans rooting for them.
