It looks like congratulations are in order for a certain Love Is Blind couple — but not one that formed on the same season of the show. Amber Desiree "AD" Smith, 33, and Ollie Sutherland, 32, announced in March 2024 that they are engaged!
AD appeared on Love Is Blind Season 6, which aired in February 2024. She got engaged to Clay Gravesande, but things took a turn at the altar, and they went their separate ways. As for Ollie, he was part of Love Is Blind UK Season 1, which aired in August 2024.
He initially proposed to Demi Brown, but their relationship ended before they could tie the knot. He later dated another contestant from the pods, Sharlotte, but that romance also fizzled out.
Now, in an unexpected turn of events, AD and Ollie revealed at the Love Is Blind Season 8 reunion that they are engaged! Wondering how this unexpected love story unfolded? Keep scrolling for all the juicy details of their relationship timeline.
