But as we gear up for the highly anticipated new season, we've taken a look at one particular success story, AD and Ollie. Fans may remember Amber Desiree "AD" Smith appeared on Love Is Blind US whereas Ollie Sutherland actually appeared on Love Is Blind UK in 2024.

Altar rejection

Ollie's Love Is Blind appearance was far from smooth sailing. Despite securing a connection with Demi and the pair meeting face to face, it was their wedding day where it all went downhill.

Their journey showed Demi fighting with insecurities during their engagement and his apparent attraction to someone else. On their wedding day, Demi said no, much to the surprise of fans.

Ad also saw heartbreak at the altar when she appeared on Love Is Blind USA season six, in what was arguably the most talked about season. Despite hitting it off with Clay, he too called things off at the very last minute.

Huge announcement

Fans were surprised during the Love Is Blind season eight reunion when AD appeared on the show and announced her engagement to Ollie. During the show, the pair not only revealed that they are now a couple, but that they also met on the new season of Perfect Match.

According to Netflix's Tudum: "While filming a promo, Ollie shocks AD by getting down on one knee and proposing to her. Through her tears and excited screams, she accepts, marking the first time singles from different editions of the franchise have found love."

Perfect Match

Airing on Netflix, Perfect Match brings together the most famously single stars from other series like Love Is Blind and Too Hot To Handle in another attempt to find love. As they compete to form relationships, the most compatible couples will play matchmaker, breaking up other couples and sending them on dates with brand-new singles they’ll invite to the villa.

Season three launched on Netflix on August 1 and saw AD and Ollie explore their potential relationship. While fans are behind on the show, their real life relationship has since moved on.

AD and Ollie now

Not only are AD and Ollie engaged, but the two announced they were also expecting a baby earlier this year. In May, the stars took to Instagram to share the heart-warming news.

AD wrote: "We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the amount of love we’ve been receiving from you all!! We couldn’t be more excited for our little bundle of joy - Mom & Dad."

And the comments came pouring in as one fan said: "I don't why I'm smiling and tears running on my face you're the best couple." Another added: "Watching perfect match just so I could watch y’all fall in love. I’m so happy for you AD Congrats on becoming a mama babe."

Love Is Blind UK Season 2 premiers on Netflix on August 13.
