Netflix's Perfect Match Is Back - But Who Is Daniel Perfetto?
The show, which is currently in its third season, sees contestants partner up and take part in challenges. The winner of the challenges gets to pick if they want to bring in singletons and send them on a date with someone else in the villa, or even themselves. Cue lots of drama.
One contestant reality TV fans might recognise is Daniel Perfetto, who rose to fame after appearing on Netflix's dating show Dated & Related. On Perfect Match, he's been coupled up with Lucy - but time will tell if they have what it takes to go the extra mile.
Daniel Perfetto rose to fame on the Netflix show Dated & Related. He is from Ontario, Canada, and he previously worked as a client care specialist and fitness trainer. Now, he seems to be focusing on his career as an influencer, with his Instagram page showing luxury holidays and dinners out. Since his appearance on Dated & Related, he's amassed more than 80,000 followers on his Instagram account.
Daniel appeared on Dated & Related in 2022. The show saw 16 single contestants hoping to find their perfect match in the South of France, who are all competing for a $100,000 prize. But there was a catch – their siblings would be there too, observing them while they went on dates and hung out in the villa.
Daniel appeared on the show alongside his sister, Julia Perfetto. He formed a sweet connection with his co-star Nina on Dated and Related, which blossomed near the end of the show. The pair attempted to make long distance work, with Nina returning to her home in the UK and Daniel going home to Canada. However, it proved to be too tricky for the couple, and they are no longer together – with Daniel now hoping to find the one on Perfect Match.
Yes! You can keep up to date with all things Daniel at his handle, @danielperfetto_.

They just missed out on scooping the Love Island crown after missing out to Toni and Cach. Alongside Shakira, in their first TV interview since leaving the villa, Harry was quizzed on ITV's Lorraine about whether reports that he had a "secret girlfriend" outside of the villa were true. "I couldn't have been more single going into the villa. I mean, my actual ex-girlfriend was in the villa," he said. However, Harry then admitted: "I was definitely dating. I was definitely seeing people. "And also, with the process, there's no guarantee you're not in the villa till you're in the villa." Host Christine Lampard then asked him if he was "exclusive" yet with Shakira, but he brushed off the suggestion. "We haven't… So, for me, I think when we rekindled and we recoupled, I only had eyes for Shakira," Harry said. "There's no-one else I want to get to know. That hasn't changed since coming on the outside world." Shortly after arriving in the villa, The Sun exclusively revealed how Harry had been accused of dumping a stunning girl he was dating, just days before he was revealed as an islander. Love Island's Harry reveals he's moving to Burnley to live in with Shakira just days after leaving the villa After finding out he was going on Love Island, the heartbroken woman explained that she thought he was flying out to Bali, not to the villa in Mallorca. She told The Sun at the time: 'I was dating Harry until the moment he sat on the flight going to Love Island. 'He told me he was going to Bali and I genuinely thought we had a future together, but no. He is a huge manipulator and I'm not the only girl he's done this too.' She continued to explain that other girls had spoken to her, claiming they, too, were dating Harry. 6 There were reports that Harry had a 'secret girlfriend' outside of the villa Credit: TikTok/@harrycooksley8 She added: 'Turns out he was dating a few people at once.' She continued: 'He called me for three hours before he jetted off to Love Island, and told me he was going to Bali to build a life for our family. It's so scary how he lied to me, and I feel so broken. I've been completely blindsided by him. 'I also got a call from another girl after it came to light that he was going on the show, and she said he'd been dating her for seven months, at the same time that he was dating me. 'I was even planning on meeting him out in Bali, because it was such a secure conversation and he never ended what we had, despite knowing he was going on Love Island.' In a heartbreaking final revelation she added: 'I've never cried so much and felt so blindsided and lied to like this from another human being.' ITV has responded to the claims at the time, and said: 'All of our Islanders are single and looking for love," when approached for comment. 6 It comes after Harry made a huge revelation about his romance with Shakira Credit: ITV Meanwhile, during their time in the villa, Shakira and Harry faced many obstacles, which saw him coupled up with Helena for most of the time. However, it now seems like Harry FINALLY knows what he wants. Appearing on Love Island's Morning After podcast earlier this week, the couple were quizzed on what was next for them. Shakira replied: "Who knows? We're taking it day by day at the minute. I think it's just been mad."

"'I'm straight on Right Move (estate agent), looking at barn conversions in Burnley," he said. He then turned to Shakira and said: "What about you, babe? Moving in next door?"
