Amber Desiree "AD" Smith and Ollie Sutherland are eagerly welcoming a new addition to their cozy pod, heralding a thrilling new chapter in their lives. Mere months after the stars of Love is Blind and Love Is Blind UK announced their engagement with much fanfare, the couple joyously unveiled their upcoming bundle of joy through an enchanting social media announcement.
In a heartwarming video accompanied by Monica's tender tune "Angel of Mine," AD and Ollie danced gracefully and playedfully in a stunning meadow, their hands intertwined in a tender embrace. Ollie's hands gently caressed his fiancée's burgeoning baby bump, a moment filled with affection and anticipation. In a subsequent clip, the pair beamed with radiant smiles as they held their baby's sonogram photos, sharing a sweet kiss that spoke volumes of their joy and love.
"How you changed my world," AD captioned their May 25 joint Instagram post, adding, "you'll never know." Indeed, the couple's grand revelation arrived just two months after Ollie popped the question to AD during a romantic beachside proposal that left hearts fluttering.
"You're my best friend," Ollie gushed during the proposal, as seen in a clip featured during the Love is Blind season eight reunion. "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 bring me greater happiness than spending the rest of my life loving you." AD, overwhelmed with shock, could only nod as she covered her face with her hands.
Their enchanting tale began mere six months prior, when the two—each having participated in their respective Love Is Blind seasons, AD in the U.S. and Ollie in the U.K., emerging from the pods engaged but later parting ways with their initial partners—crossed paths during the filming of Netflix's Perfect Match in September.
As filming wrapped up, rumors of a budding romance between AD, 34, and Ollie, 32, quickly spread, especially after they were spotted enjoying a romantic dinner together in Mexico in October. However, the couple officially confirmed their relationship only during their joint appearance at the Love Is Blind season eight reunion in March.
Ollie emphasized that the journey that led to their romance paved the way for their successful partnership. "I noticed that we were having deeper, more important conversations even during our time on Perfect Match," he explained during the reunion. "We talked about shared values and similar outlooks on life."
"I believe that laid the solid groundwork and foundation for the beautiful relationship we have now," he added. "And I undoubtedly attribute much of our success to our experiences on Love Is Blind."
