Love Is Blind has spawned its first international married couple! AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland from Love Is Blind USA and Love Is Blind UK, respectively, confirmed last week that they had officially gotten married.
It's not news that the couple has been dating, as they have been public since they first hit it off on another Netflix reality TV show, Perfect Match. The details of this next step in their relationship, however, came as a pleasant surprise to all those who have been following their romantic journey together.
AD Smith And Ollie Sutherland Are Officially Married
Fans first got to hear an update about the couple during the Love Is Blind Season 8 reunion, where production played a video clip of AD and Ollie's engagement. In the video, Ollie can be seen getting down on one knee and making some sweet remarks to his partner before popping the question:
While AD and Ollie participated in separate seasons of Love Is Blind and got engaged to other people, they both ended up splitting from their partners, only to connect later on the same season of Perfect Match. The pair officially tied the knot in Beverly Hills, which Ollie confirmed when he posted a series of wedding photos on Instagram which he captioned "The Sutherlands," letting fans know that AD had officially taken his last name.
Some other Love Is Blind alum left their support in the comments. "Congratulations guys!! and I saw it all blossom," wrote Freddie Powell, who appeared on the same season of Perfect Match.
While the pair first hit it off while on Perfect Match, Ollie explained that participating on Love Is Blind helped get him in the mindset of looking for a lifelong partner. He elaborated that he actually credited the dating series for setting him up for success with AD:
Only time will tell if the newly married couple has plans to expand their family.
As for the most recent season of Love Is Blind, the contestants weren't as successful in finding lasting romance. For the first time in the show's history, not a single couple in Season 9 walked away married.
While two couples made it to the altar in the final episode, they didn't ultimately exchange their "I do's." However, the show's creator Chris Coelen remains confident in the dating experiment, and Netflix has confirmed there will be additional seasons to come.
