From Pods to Paradise: How AD and Ollie Found Love on 'Perfect Match' Season 3
The biggest surprise for fans was that AD and Ollie didn't meet in the infamous Love Is Blind pods, but rather on the more chaotic, physical-attraction-driven set of Perfect Match Season 3.
Their connection was reportedly immediate, with the couple matching up early in the process while filming in Mexico. Despite their strong start, their relationship was not without its "drama," which played out on screen during the season.
The 'Perfect Match' Challenge and Drama
The premise of Perfect Match allows couples to test their compatibility by sending each other on dates with new arrivals. This mechanism created a brief but intense rough patch for AD and Ollie.
- The Test: Ollie chose to go on a date with a new arrival, reportedly an alum from Love Island USA.
- The Aftermath: This decision caused tension, as AD had to navigate her feelings while Ollie explored other connections. However, the experience ultimately solidified their bond, as they realized their connection was stronger than any outside temptation.
They finished the season as one of the strongest couples, narrowly missing the top spot but leaving the villa together and continuing their relationship in the real world. Unlike many reality TV pairings, their post-show life proved to be their true success story.
The 2025 Fairy Tale: Engagement, Marriage, and Welcoming Baby Sutherland
The year 2025 has been monumental for the couple, marking a rapid-fire series of life-changing events that have delighted their global fanbase.
The Surprise Engagement
In a twist that shocked the reality TV world, Ollie proposed to AD in March 2025. The announcement was made during the *Love Is Blind* Season 8 reunion, a moment designed to bring the focus back to the original show but which instead celebrated a cross-franchise success.
The proposal was a beautiful, public display of commitment, officially starting their journey toward marriage.
A Baby Girl on the Way
Just two months later, in May 2025, the couple shared another massive life update: they were expecting their first child. The couple revealed they were preparing to welcome a baby girl, sharing their excitement about their "new chapter" of parenthood.
They have been open about their preparations, including their parenting plans and the fact that they have already chosen a name for their daughter.
The October 2025 Wedding
Proving they meant business, AD and Ollie tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony on Sunday, October 26, 2025. The couple announced the happy news on Instagram, sharing that they were officially "The Sutherlands."
The wedding took place just "weeks before welcoming their daughter," making it a truly emotional and time-sensitive event. This quick timeline from engagement to marriage and baby has solidified their reputation as a couple who knows what they want and isn't afraid to go for it.
What's Next for The Sutherlands?
As of late December 2025, AD and Ollie are fully focused on their new life as husband and wife and new parents. Their unique love story, which spanned two continents and multiple Netflix shows (Love Is Blind US, Love Is Blind: UK, and Perfect Match), serves as a beacon of hope for reality television romantics.
Fans can expect to see more of the couple as they navigate the joys and challenges of parenthood, likely sharing updates on social media and possibly on future Netflix follow-up specials. Their journey from strangers in pods to a married couple with a baby girl has truly redefined what it means to find a "perfect match."
