After coming out on the reunion stage, the two spoke about their lives lately, which included AD’s new podcastWhat’s the Reality?and their appearance onPerfect 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.
“You’re my best friend, you’re the love of my life. I’ve never felt as happy as I have since I’ve met you,” he said as he got down on one knee. “Nothing would make me happier than spending the rest of my life loving you.”
He then popped the question as AD squealed and said “yes” before sharing a kiss with her new fiancé.
The two also credited their time onLove Is Blindfor helping them build a strong foundation in their relationship. Ollie said they realized they had “shared values and similar outlooks on life,” while AD pointed out that they had “super intentional conversations” while dating.

AD first gained popularity when she appeared on season 6 ofLove Is Blind.Although she left the pods engaged toClay Gravesande, the pair ended up breaking up after he said “I don’t” at the altar.
The moment seemed to shock everybody, including AD, whoexplained at the season 6 reunionin March 2024 that she wouldn’t have changed a thing despite being left heartbroken. “I don’t regret saying yes to him,” she said. “Mylove is blind. There’s nothing that he could’ve shown me, told me, that would’ve changed my answer.”
When asked whether there was a possibility she would give Clay another chance, AD quickly shut it down.
“You had your chance, there’s nothing that I wouldn’t have given you, there’s nothing I wouldn’t have done for you,” she told Clay. “And low key, respectfully, you played in my f—— face… because you knew that you didn’t want to get married.”
