Okay, let’s talk about this unexpected but absolutely adorable engagement—Amber Desiree “AD” Smith and Ollie Sutherland are officially engaged! If you’re a fan of Love Is Blind, you probably didn’t see this coming, but hey, love works in mysterious ways, right?
So, here’s the tea: AD and Ollie did not meet in the pods. Nope. They both had their separate Love Is Blind experiences—AD was on the US version, and Ollie was in the UK edition. They even got engaged to other people on their respective seasons, but let’s just say… things didn’t work out. Fast forward to Netflix’s reality dating show Perfect Match, and BOOM—sparks started flying.
From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After?
Remember AD’s emotional rollercoaster in Love Is Blind? She made it all the way to the altar with Clay, only for him to say nah, I’m good at the last second. It was heartbreaking, but AD handled it like a queen. Meanwhile, over in the UK, Ollie had his own Love Is Blind drama, leaving the show without a forever person.
So, what do you do after reality TV heartbreak? You go on another reality dating show, obviously! Enter Perfect Match, where AD and Ollie finally crossed paths. And let’s just say, Netflix knew exactly what they were doing because these two connected on a whole different level.
Rumors, Dinner Dates & Mystery Man Teasers
Even before they made things official, fans were already putting the pieces together. Back in October, AD and Ollie were spotted having dinner in Mexico, looking all cozy and couple-y. Then AD showed up at the Love Is Blind season 7 reunion, teasing that she had found love again but refusing to say who the mystery man was. At that point, we all knew something was up.
And then there was AD’s UK trip, where she casually shared snaps of herself at a vegan restaurant (ahem, Ollie is a proud vegan). Coincidence? We think not.
The Proposal – A Beach, Candles & The Big Question
Alright, let’s get to the good part—the proposal! Ollie popped the question in the most romantic way possible. Picture this: a dreamy beach setting, candles, flowers, the ocean breeze, and the love of your life standing in front of you.
In a clip shared during the Love Is Blind season 8 reunion, Ollie looked at AD and said,
"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."
And then, of course, he asked, "Amber Desiree Smith, will you marry me?"
AD, completely overwhelmed, nodded yes before even saying a word, covering her face in shock. Now that’s love.
How AD & Ollie Knew It Was Real
During the reunion, Ollie reflected on their connection, saying,
"Even as early as Perfect Match, I noticed that we were having deeper conversations—real conversations about shared values and life goals. I think that really laid the foundation for the beautiful relationship we have now.”
AD agreed, adding that their experiences on Love Is Blind helped them realize what they truly wanted in a partner.
And honestly? It makes sense. They’ve already done the reality TV love experiment before. They’ve had the heartbreak. They’ve had the what-went-wrong moments. So when they found each other, they knew what to do differently.
What’s Next for AD & Ollie?
Now that the secret is out, everyone’s wondering—what’s next for this couple? Will they have a Netflix-funded wedding? A Love Is Blind crossover event? Will they move in together? So. Many. Questions.
One thing’s for sure—AD and Ollie’s love story proves that sometimes, love takes a few detours before leading you to the right person.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
