Reality TV darlings Amber Desiree “AD” Smith and Ollie Sutherland have officially exchanged vows in a stunning Beverly Hills ceremony, culminating a love story that began on Perfect Match after their individual Love Is Blind journeys, and are now joyfully preparing for parenthood.
The highly anticipated wedding of Love Is Blind favorites AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland has officially taken place! The beloved couple, whose romance blossomed outside the pods of their original dating shows, announced their marriage on Sunday, October 26, in a beautiful ceremony held in Beverly Hills, California. This joyous occasion marks another significant milestone for the couple, who are also expecting their first child together.
A Love Story Forged Beyond the Pods
For many fans, the journey of AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland is a testament to finding love in unexpected places. Both reality TV personalities had previously sought connections on different iterations of Love Is Blind. AD Smith appeared in season 6 of the U.S. version, while Ollie Sutherland starred in the debut season of Love Is Blind: UK. Despite their individual efforts, neither found lasting love within the social experiment’s iconic pods.
Their paths serendipitously crossed on the third season of Netflix’s hit series, Perfect Match. It was there, amidst a tropical backdrop, that sparks truly flew between AD and Ollie, proving that sometimes, love isn’t so blind after all. Their connection was undeniable, and they have been inseparable ever since their time on the show.
The Grand Announcement: “The Sutherlands”
The couple took to Instagram to share their happy news, posting a joint carousel of stunning wedding photos captioned simply, “The Sutherlands 🥂🤍.” The images captured the essence of their special day, showcasing AD in a beautiful strapless satin gown and Ollie in a classic black suit. Some candid shots revealed the pair walking hand-in-hand down Santa Monica Boulevard, and even enjoying a casual stop for fries and soda at McDonald’s – a charming, relatable touch to their dream wedding.
Adding to the excitement, the expectant parents flashed their new wedding rings while gently resting their hands on AD Smith‘s visibly growing baby bump, a heartwarming symbol of their expanding family. AD playfully confirmed her new marital status on her Instagram Stories, declaring, “It’s Mrs. Sutherland to you 😜💍,” as reported by People.
A Star-Studded Celebration of Love
The comments section of their Instagram announcement quickly filled with an outpouring of love and congratulations from fellow reality TV stars and devoted fans. Notable well-wishers included:

From Engagement to Expecting: Their Rapid Timeline
The marriage follows a whirlwind romance that has captivated fans. AD and Ollie publicly confirmed their relationship and announced their engagement during the March 9 reunion of Love Is Blind season 8. Ollie marked the occasion with a romantic beachside proposal photo on Instagram, writing, “this is how you do a hard launch!” This announcement was a major moment for fans eagerly following their story, as reported by People.
Just two months later, in May, the couple shared even more exciting news: they were expecting their first baby, a girl. Their pregnancy announcement came via an Instagram video, set to Monica’s “Angel of Mine,” showing them walking hand-in-hand before tenderly placing their hands on AD‘s baby bump. The sweet caption read, “How you changed my world, you’ll never know,” according to People.
In July, the couple opened up to People about their excitement and nerves surrounding parenthood. AD expressed her eagerness for their “bundle of joy” and seeing “something that we created out of love,” while also acknowledging her apprehension about “the long nights.” Ollie echoed her sentiments, most excited to “just hold my little girl,” but equally “nervous for the sleepless nights,” though confident the good moments would “far outweigh the stressful ones.”
Wedding Plans and Future Celebrations
While the Beverly Hills ceremony served as their official wedding, the couple had previously discussed the possibility of having two celebrations. In a July interview with People, AD and Ollie revealed they were considering one wedding in the U.S. for AD‘s family and another in the U.K. for Ollie‘s family.
Ollie Sutherland shared his vision for a potential second ceremony, stating, “In terms of specific location, I think maybe another beach location would be nice.” He connected this idea to their love story’s origins: “We met at the beach, we got engaged on the beach. Why not get married on the beach?” He also hinted on AD Smith‘s What’s the Reality podcast in March 2025 that the U.K. celebration would be “big,” ensuring family who couldn’t attend the U.S. wedding could still join in the festivities.
Fans across both sides of the Atlantic eagerly await details of any further celebrations, eager to share in the couple’s happiness as they continue their journey into married life and parenthood. The wedding was also confirmed by Entertainment Tonight, solidifying the news across major entertainment platforms.
