Flirtations flourished, singles shook up situationships, and even a few exes were reluctantly reunited over the course of Perfect Match Season 3. But, in the end, only one couple was left standing after all that romantic anarchy came to a head in the finale.

After receiving the most votes at the final deliberation, Lucy and Daniel were crowned the winners of Perfect Match. But theirs wasn’t the only partnership to form in paradise. Four other couples — Sandy and Louis, AD and Ollie, Madison and Freddie, and Rachel and Ray — were also matched up in the finale, which was filmed in September 2024. Of course, in the 11 months since then, a lot has happened in the lives of the Season 3 competitors. Netflix Reality Universe fans already know that AD and Ollie are not only engaged, but also currently expecting their first child. But what else has the Perfect Match Season 3 crew been up to? 

Keep scrolling to catch up with them and find out who is still together.

Ollie and AD

It’s no secret that AD and Ollie’s love story continued long after the villa. These Love Is Blind alums are currently engaged and expecting their first child together, making the biggest commitment yet from the longest-standing Perfect Match couple to date. 

“You can go into these shows thinking it’s just going to be fun and games,” AD tells Tudum. “But I went in very open-minded. If you’re closed off to more, then that’s all you experience. I could have just gone on a vacation with a hot guy or I could have found the love of my life, which I was able to do.”

Ollie, meanwhile, admittedly wasn’t exactly marriage-minded heading into villa. After getting turned down at the altar on Love Is Blind: UK and even exploring a connection with another pod squad member, he was set on enjoying the perks of the single life. “I went in not very serious and doing things I shouldn't be doing,” he says. Of course, love found him anyway, shifting his “jokey not-so-serious mindset and behaviors,” when he laid eyes on AD for the first time. “Finding Amber made me do a 180 and I’m a better person for it,” he adds. “I was able to  step up to the plate in terms of maturing in a short space of time.”

While AD and Ollie found their happily ever after, there were, of course, a few bumps along the way, including the latter’s lapse of judgment when it came to kissing Justine … and then lying about it after the fact. For the record, AD has no hard feelings towards Justine “I think [we’re in] a good place,” she says. “We haven’t really spoken since the show, but we were friends prior, and I’m sure we're friends now.” 

So, how did Ollie and AD move forward and make their match last all these months later? “We got really intentional before we left Mexico,” AD explains. “We were like, ‘Do we want to try this outside of here?’ This is all fun and games and it’s really intense, but is this something we actually want to pursue?" And the answer was yes for both of us.” But even the best-laid plans for the best matched couple can go awry. “Obviously you’re talking big plans, a cross-continent relationship. It is pretty much as long-distance as you can get,” Ollie says of the challenges the two faced, given the distance between North Carolina and the United Kingdom. “But we’re both committed to making it work.”

Just three weeks after AD returned home to the United States, she hopped across the pond to visit Ollie. Since then, they’ve criss-crossed the globe for each other, including a trip to Paris for her birthday — all in the service of “making [the relationship] a priority” over everything. “We just kept delivering on our promises,” Ollie says, with AD adding, “Our relationship is built off intentionality and making sure we are who we say we are and do what we say we’re going to do.”

That spirit is pushing them toward their next major milestone: parenthood. With a baby girl on the way, the couple is as united as ever as they tackle this new era together. “We just kept the momentum going from the show, onwards and upwards,” says Ollie. “Our relationship speaks for itself.”

Lucy and Daniel

Turns out Lucy and Daniel weren’t a perfect match made in paradise. “Long-distance is very, very difficult,” Daniel says of their breakup. “Lucy’s a great girl, but it didn’t work out.” After matching up throughout the entire season and being crowned most compatible couple, the pair never cashed in on their reward: an all-expenses-paid vacation for two, which they’d plan to use on a trip to Fiji. “We didn’t go on the trip,” Lucy says, adding that they did spend some time together before heading back to their respective homes after filming wrapped. “I think we both just knew it wasn’t going to work and thought it was unfair to go on the trip,” she explains. “So I’m hoping to gift it to Ollie and AD.”

While she didn’t leave Tulum with a lasting relationship, Lucy is now dating someone new who she’s hoping is her perfect match. Daniel, on the other hand, is currently single. Even after winning the competition, Lucy says the real prize was the “the best friendships” she made along the way. “My biggest takeaway, to be honest, is the girls,” she shares. “There were so many moments when I needed them. We were all there for each other.”

Madison and Freddie

Madison and Freddie’s transatlantic romance couldn’t go the distance. “The time difference was really hard for us,” Madison says. “There’s only so many hours in the day that we do get to communicate, and a lot of the time he’s working and really busy with his family.” She did have a ticket booked to come visit him in the UK, but when she found out he was going to have to work for much of her trip, they had to both get real about their expectations. “I didn’t want to continue a relationship with her and I felt like maybe she did take it hard, but I think it’s important to be open, honest, and transparent,” Freddie says. “It just would’ve felt like never enough, so we made a decision.” Since then, Madison’s been single and focusing on herself.

Still, Madison’s glad she was able to embrace her “lover girl” side on Perfect Match after meeting Freddie. “The conversation just flowed effortlessly for us, from serious things, talking about our family, to making jokes and being fun and flirty,” she explains. “Our connection formed really fast.” That’s exactly what she was looking for going into the experience. In the beginning, Madison coupled up with Cody because he was the only one who was all-in on her. But because she was on the show for a relationship, she was ready to move on as soon as she realized he wasn’t her perfect match. “Sometimes I think people choose to stay in connections only to stay in the house, and that was not what I was going to do.” 

While her feelings for Freddie were very real, Madison does want to set the record straight about why she got so emotional when he was sent on a date with Rachel in Episode 3. “That’s when I really figured out, ‘Oh, people are here to play a game,’ ” she explains. At no point did she actually believe Freddie might match with Rachel after their date. But, it did seem like he was being set up with someone else in order to get her out of the competition. “It was a smack in the face of, ‘Oh, these people don’t like you, and they don’t want you in this house,” she says. “I don't know if it’s because they were threatened by our connection or if they just don’t like me as a person. It was so confusing to me.” Ironically, that especially tough day did lead to the one lasting relationship Madison made this season. “Rachel has continued to be such a kind person to me, and I really appreciate her.”

Sandy and Louis

The Menace has matured thanks to his time on Perfect Match. Looking back, Louis says he experienced real personal growth through his relationship with Sandy and the open communication they shared. “Coming out of the show, I realized that I don’t have to string people along. I can be open and honest, and it can work out the way it works out,” he tells Tudum. The way it worked out between Louis and Sandy is … that it didn’t. But both are totally at peace with the outcome. “We just kind of got out of our Perfect Match bubble,” Sandy says. “Past the show, nothing really happened romantically. We live in different countries. I think we’re just in different places in our lives. But we are totally good, and we did have a lot of fun together.” Louis agrees. “The way we left it was so positive. We understood where I am, where she is, what we both want, and we respect each other,” he explains. “Out of all the shows I’ve done, me and Sandy are probably the coolest.”

When asked if any new relationships are on the horizon, Louis answers, “Always.” No matter how much the Menace matures, he’s always going to be making moves. Most recently, Louis was photographed holding hands with Love Island Season 7’s Huda Mustafa at a movie premiere. As for Sandy’s current relationship status, she says, it’s “complicated but fun.” She’s back in the dating game with a newfound sense of closure after exploring her existing connection with former trial husband J.R. while in the villa. “I realized that chapter’s closed.” 

Rachel and Ray

Matching up so late into the competition meant Rachel and Ray lacked a solid foundation for a romantic relationship outside the game. “We had no time on the show,” she shares. “When we left, things changed so quickly.” So instead, the pair have focused on fostering a different kind of connection. “Even when I was choosing Ray, I knew that we would have a solid friendship first, and we still do. We truly are there for each other and see each other often,” Rachel explains. Ray confirms that they’re still “a big part of each other’s lives.” “We make a real effort to hang out whenever I’m in LA, and we talk all the time,” he says. “She’ll always have a special place in my heart.” And how could she not? According to Ray, “When Rachel walks into a room, the whole place lights up.”

Still, Rachel hasn’t moved past the friendzone with anyone else since leaving the villa. “I'm not seeing anyone,” she says. But the time coupled up with her ex Clayton has cleared the way for her to move forward with romance when she does eventually find her perfect match. “I've always wondered, ‘What if he chose me?’ ” Rachel shares, reflecting on her time on Clayton’s season of The' Bachelor. “And now I have that answer. As hard and humiliating as it is, I’ll never have to wonder. It was for a reason.” When it comes to Ray’s current relationship status, he says, “I’m not dating anyone at the moment. Just enjoying life.”

Clayton 

As a newcomer to the Netflix Reality Universe, Clayton worried he’d feel like an outsider in the villa. That certainly wasn’t the case, especially with the other men. “We all instantly hit it off and became really close and had that brotherly banter,” he says. “It was just a ton of fun to be able to come into this not knowing what was going to happen. It kept me on my toes.” No one more so than his ex Rachel, another NRU newbie whom he previously dated on Season 26 of The Bachelor.

When Rachel entered the competition, Clayton says he experienced a huge rush of emotions. Due to his lingering feeling and belief that everything happens for a reason, Clayton decided they should see where it goes. Giving their relationship another try provided Clayton with closure, especially since Bachelor fans still like to comment that he should have chosen Rachel. “This time around, there wasn’t the pressure,” he says. “Ultimately, we have a mutual respect, but it wasn’t a long-term, compatible situation.” If he does find someone he’s compatible with long-term, Clayton is “ready to settle down.” “I know exactly what I want. I’m just not going to compromise in any regard. I know that person exists, they’re just going to be hard to find.”
