More wedding bells will be ringing for the Love Is Blind family!
During the season 8 reunion on Sunday, March 9, season 6 star Amber Desiree âADâ Smith and Ollie Sutherland, who appeared on season 1 of Love Is Blind: UK, revealed they are engaged.
The couple first met while filming season 3 of Perfect Match, which is set to premiere in summer 2025. Once filming wrapped, they fueled romance rumors after being spotted at an intimate dinner together in Mexico. However, the pair never publicly confirmed their romance â that is until the March 9 reunion.

After coming out on the reunion stage, the two spoke about their lives lately, which included ADâs new podcast Whatâs the Reality? and their appearance on Perfect Match. Then, they introduced a promo for the upcoming season of the Netflix hit before the video showed Ollie leading AD to another section of the beach and surprising her with the romantic proposal.
âYouâre my best friend, youâre the love of my life. Iâve never felt as happy as I have since Iâve met you,â he said as he got down on one knee. âNothing would make me happier than spending the rest of my life loving you.â
He then popped the question as AD squealed and said âyesâ before sharing a kiss with her new fiancĂŠ.
Back at the reunion, AD said she was âso surprisedâ by the proposal, which Ollie admitted he had been planning âfor months.â
The two also credited their time on Love Is Blind for helping them build a strong foundation in their relationship. Ollie said they realized they had âshared values and similar outlooks on life,â while AD pointed out that they had âsuper intentional conversationsâ while dating.
AD first gained popularity when she appeared on season 6 of Love Is Blind. Although she left the pods engaged to Clay Gravesande, the pair ended up breaking up after he said âI donâtâ at the altar.
The moment seemed to shock everybody, including AD, who explained at the season 6 reunion in March 2024 that she wouldnât have changed a thing despite being left heartbroken. âI donât regret saying yes to him,â she said. âMy love is blind. Thereâs nothing that he couldâve shown me, told me, that wouldâve changed my answer.â
When asked whether there was a possibility she would give Clay another chance, AD quickly shut it down.
âYou had your chance, thereâs nothing that I wouldnât have given you, thereâs nothing I wouldnât have done for you,â she told Clay. âAnd low key, respectfully, you played in my fââ face⌠because you knew that you didnât want to get married.â
Meanwhile, Ollie rose to fame on Love Is Blind: UK, where he developed a connection with Demi Brown. The two got engaged but faced their fair share of roadblocks on their journey to the altar.
As the wedding day approached, doubts crept in, and when it came time to exchange vows, Demi ultimately said, âI do not.â
Despite the heartbreak, both expressed gratitude for their journey together, with Ollie remaining hopeful about their future, saying, âThis is not the end of Demi and Ollie, not by a long shot.â However, during the reunion, Demi and Ollie confirmed they were broken up for good.
He later moved on with fellow Love Is Blind: UK star Sharlotte Ritchie, but they also ended things a little while after.
