It comes after the couple announced their engagement during the season eight reunion episode of Love Is Blind.
The couple met while filming Perfect Match last year, a series that features contestants from other Netflix reality shows who pair up and compete in challenges.
Filming for the show wrapped in September, with the couple keeping their relationship a surprise until now.
Love Is Blind host Vanessa Lachey was left in tears as she revealed the news by sharing a video of Ollie proposing to AD in a romantic beach setting.
Vanessa introduced the happy couple by announcing AD was appearing on the reunion show to open up about the happy relationship she had teased during the Love Is Blind season seven reunion last October.
The show then aired a promo clip for Perfect Match before cutting to the proposal video as co-host Nick Lachey exclaimed: 'there's more?'
'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,' Ollie said as he got down on one knee and offered up a ring.
'Nothing would make me happier than spending the rest of my life loving you.'
A squealing AD then leant in for a kiss as she agreed to marry him.
Despite filming only wrapping in September last year, Ollie revealed he had been planning the proposal 'for months'.
Vanessa was left in tears as she watched the proposal unfold, with Virginia Miller also breaking down.
Vanessa explained: 'I get emotional because I know this woman's journey and have had the pleasure of getting to see you blossom as a strong independent woman.
'But I know how much it meant to you to find The One.'
She then asked: 'Do you think Love Is Blind preps you for this because you both had the common goal of wanting to find that person?' to which they agreed their conversations had been deep and meaningful from the start.
AD found fame last February when she got engaged to Clay Gravesande on Love Is Blind.
Ultimately, the the pair ended up breaking up after she said yes at the alter, but he said no.
Meanwhile, Ollie got engaged to Demi Brown on Love Is Blind: UK last year but he was left at the alter by Demi.
AD and Ollie's love story will be shown when season three of Perfect Match hits Netflix.

Love Is Blind UK fans in tears over Scottish star's treatment: 'Just so sad to see'
Love Is Blind UK fans were left heartbroken for one Scottish star in the latest instalment of the Netflix dating show. *Warning - This article contains spoilers for Love Is Blind UK season 2 episode 7.* Love Is Blind UK has made its comeback with another four episodes today, and viewers are already slamming one participant for his dubious conduct after his fiancee broke down in tears. Episode 7 of the Netflix series delivered plenty of explosive moments as the Love Is Blind couples came face-to-face with former romantic interests from the pods during a reunion gathering. Whilst some participants maintained their composure, others displayed behaviour that fellow Love Is Blind cast members branded as 'disrespectful'. Health coach Javen, aged 28, was especially brazen, blatantly chatting up rejected participants Sophie and Aanu whilst his fiancée Katisha tried to maintain her composure. The episode, fittingly named 'You're going to get me in trouble' - referencing Javen's remark to Aanu at the gathering - captured him saying to Sophie: "I'd be lying if I sat here and said, '100%.'" He also enquired whether she "lived far from here" and declared: "You're naughty." But tensions escalated an hour afterwards when they arrived home, with Katisha appearing clearly distressed as Javen declared he was heading back out to socialise with some of the cast, reports the Mirror. The situation quickly became emotional and Javen departed the house without Katisha for his evening out, leaving the nanny and makeup artist from Dumfries, Scotland in floods of tears. During the scene at their apartment, Katisha remained silent as they shared dinner, with Javen observing: "It was good to see everyone." "How was your chat with Sophie?" she enquired, sounding downcast, as Javen responded cheerfully: "It was interesting. She's funny and she has good banter." "I see," Katisha retorted as Javen also described his conversation with Demola, Katisha's other love interest from the pods, as "interesting". "Interesting in what way?" Katisha fired back, to which Javen vaguely replied: "In the way that I was intrigued to know." "Ok, I'm going to bed; I'm very tired. Goodnight," Katisha declared dejectedly, planting a kiss on Javen's cheek. Javen was then seen texting someone on his phone before declaring: "I'm going out." The camera then switched to Katisha lying down, looking distressed as her fiance made plans for his night out over the phone. "You staying in?" he queried, to which Katisha confirmed once more: "Yeah." "I'll see you later," Javen said nonchalantly, donning his jacket as he left. Katisha immediately burst into tears and covered her face with her hand as the episode faded to black. Watch Love is Blind UK on Netflix for free with Sky from £15 Sky Get the deal here Product Description The episode elicited a heart-wrenching response from viewers, with fans flocking to X to voice their opinions. One viewer commented: "In as much as I wanna be like, yooo Katisha, you knew that kinda guy you were picking, I can't help but feel sorry for her. It's just so sad to see." They also noted: "As men are we just oblivious to how our partner is feeling? ? When Javen came back from the mixer could he not see that Katisha was not okay? "With my girl I instantly know when she's not okay. And in that moment my mind goes into overdrive thinking about..." Another viewer posted: "Did I watch this right? Did Javen go cheat nonchalantly in front of Katisha? That's literally next level losery. If that wasn't editing (even so, he left while she was distraught after his behaviour), then again, what a loser." A third wrote: "Katisha is better than me, l would not even kiss you goodnight especially after disrespecting me like that." One more raged: "WHY THE HELL IS JAVEN PULLING SOPHIE FOR A CHAT? ? IN FRONT OF KATISHA? IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY? !'Are you dating anybody?' 'you don't live far from here right?' Then he leaves her at home to cry alone?" However, some fans didn't have much sympathy for Katisha due to the choice she made in the pods, with one remarking: "Seeing Katisha cry over this loser, I can't even feel sorry for her cause she had a guy who made it clear he wanted to love her right but she said nahhh." Another concurred: "Katisha ruined her own experience. Even if she didn't pick Demola, she knew she never got that reassurance from Javen and still picked him." Meanwhile, another fan urged Katisha to leave the relationship, writing with crying emojis: "Katisha, please RUN there's still time." Is it the end of the road for Katisha and Javen? Stay tuned to find out.

'Horrifying' epic on Netflix that 'gets better every time' will be removed soon
'Horrifying' epic on Netflix that 'gets better with every rewatch' will be removed in a few days A horror mastermind's divisive thriller is currently available to stream on Netflix, but it's set to be removed from the platform in just a few days Netflix is presently hosting a disturbing epic from celebrated filmmaker Ari Aster - though time is running out to watch it. The mastermind behind contemporary horror gems Hereditary and Midsommar unveiled his newest thriller Eddington in American cinemas last month, with its UK debut scheduled for later this week. The film has already generated heated debate among critics and audiences due to its unconventional approach, early pandemic backdrop and bold political statements. However, another of his polarising works remains accessible on Netflix for merely a handful more days. We're naturally referring to his 2023 anxiety-fuelled horror-comedy, Beau Is Afraid, anchored by Joaquin Phoenix's exceptional portrayal of a man pushed towards madness by a looming visit to his mother and unforeseen catastrophe, reports the Mirror.

Nevertheless, a devoted fanbase has persistently championed the film, arguing it merits viewing before departing Netflix on Saturday, 23rd August. One five-star Google review enthused: "This film takes you through the nightmarish journey into all the different traumas that quite literally stay with the child for the rest of their life. "Stunning. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea but for those that feel it, versus just seeing it, I know will masterpiece by Ari Aster." Another hailed it as "absolutely wonderful" and a "cult classic in the making". "This maybe the single best movie I have ever seen," they declared. "I mean that sincerely. I say this because to even think of a movie like this is already a wild accomplishment, but to execute it this flawlessly and make 3 hours interesting to the extent that my mind never wandered off even once, is something rarely accomplished by film. "I was glued to my TV wanting to see what creation was coming at me next." Some film buffs say this is Ari Aster's masterpiece (Image: A24) Watch Stranger Things on Netflix for free with Sky This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

"This movie is balls-to-the-walls (literally at times!) Ari Aster insanity. Disgusting, hilarious, heartfelt, traumatic and most importantly: unique. No wonder it took him ten years to make this." Meanwhile, a final five-star critique stated: "Each rewatch just further cements this as one of the best things I've ever seen. "One of the most intelligent psychologically ambitious and sophisticated horrors ever. In ten years when everyone is calling this a masterpiece just remember who was here first, trapped in this nightmare. Ari Aster's Best to date."
