Relationship status: Still together
Perfect Match's AD and Ollie are not only still together, but they're also engaged and expecting their first child. The couple announced their engagement at the Love Is Blind Season 8 reunion back in March.
'Even as early on as when we were on Perfect Match , I noticed that we were having the deeper conversations, the more important conversations, talking about shared values and similar outlooks on life,' Ollie said during the reunion. 'I think that really laid the groundwork and the foundation for the beautiful relationship we have now, and I definitely attribute a lot of that to our experiences on Love Is Blind .'
A few months later, in May, the lovebirds revealed on Instagram that they were expecting their first child together. ''How you changed my world, you'll never know' 🤍,' read the caption of the sweet announcement video.
The couple told People in July that they already have a name picked out. "We've got a name, but it's remaining top secret, and funny enough, I was pleasantly surprised at how aligned we were very, very early on," Ollie said. 'Probably like the first two or three names, we got the one, and it just shows how aligned we are in like the way we think and everything.'

Sandy and Louis are unfortunately no longer together after their time on Perfect Match . He confirmed the breakup after being spotted holding hands with Love Island USA Season 7 star Huda Mustafa at the red carpet premiere of the movie Weapons .
Season 3 contestant Rachel Recchia later criticized Louis on The Viall Files podcast for spoiling his and Sandy's fate. 'It's literally airing—we have what, maybe two weeks? It feels, like, a little selfish,' Rachel said. 'It affects the whole cast.'
She continued, 'I love him as a person. I think he's amazing. I get along with him so well. He's such great TV… I mean, Sandy and him have such a good connection on the show. Now people are kinda seeing things like, 'Oh, what's going on now?''
Louis and Huda were first spotted together in London before the first batch of Perfect Match episodes debuted on Netflix on Friday, August 1.

Although Freddie and Madison made plans to pursue their romance after the show, the relationship didn't last. Freddie told Elite Daily that it ended due to the challenges of long distance — he is from Manchester, while Madison hails from Minneapolis.
'We carried on speaking afterwards, but we were very realistic about the fact that there was 4,000 miles between us,' Freddie revealed. 'And gradually over time, it just became apparent that it was more of a friendship.'
He also said their connection felt different in the real world. 'In the bubble of Perfect Match , it was a roller coaster of emotions in this surreal environment, and moving back to the norm of real life, it just became apparent that continuing to date probably wasn't the best idea," he added.

Rachel and Ray are also no longer together following the Perfect Match Season 3 finale. They mentioned going on some dates in Los Angeles during the finale, which Rachel said they followed through on, but their connection never reached a romantic level.
'I have seen him in LA quite a bit. We are friends,' Rachel told Elite Daily , noting that their relationship felt like a platonic situation on the show. 'We were super late in the process when we formed a relationship, so it didn't have much time to progress past friendship. I don't know if we ever really were in a real relationship.'
While Rachel and Ray didn't work out — along with the Season 3 finale couples besides AD and Ollie — the former Bachelor star teased that at Netflix's Summer Break event, some couples were getting back together a year after filming concluded.
'There's a lot still going on, like, even just from that Netflix [Summer Break] event,' Rachel said on The Viall Files. 'There's a lot happening. Oh, my God, there might have been more drama at that Netflix event [than on the show]. There's still stuff going on, [even though] filming was a year ago.'

‘America's Team' Directors on Filming the '90s Cowboys Doc and Comparisons to ‘The Last Dance'
With just a few weeks to go before the start of football season, the Dallas Cowboys took over Los Angeles on Monday for the premiere of Netflix doc America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys. The series follows the highs and lows of the '90s Cowboys, with owner Jerry Jones at the head and star players in Troy Aikman, Deion Sanders, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin; many of the the breakout players of the time sit down for interviews, along with the Jones family and media personalities Al Michaels, Andrea Kremer and Skip Bayless. More from The Hollywood Reporter Spike Lee Walks Back Comment That 'Highest 2 Lowest' Will Be His Last Film With Denzel Washington: "I Got My Mind Right" After Crediting 'Nobody' Workouts for Saving His Life, Bob Odenkirk "Never Stopped Training" for Sequel Travis Kelce Opens Up About Taylor Swift Romance: "It Just Took the F*** Off" Brothers Chapman and Maclain Way — who were behind sports doc series Untold — direct the series, in what Maclain said 'ended up becoming the project for a lifetime for us' after they were asked by Netflix to be at the helm. Of getting all of the subjects on board to speak about both the good and bad of that era, Maclain noted, 'We communicated that early on, just like, hey, this team did have, I think it was fair to say, a little bit of a reputation, not only just for how talented they were but also a little bit of the bad boys of the NFL — a lot of suspensions, a lot of arrests, a lot of things like that. And for us, we knew from day one we wanted to tell a full, complete and accurate picture of this whole story, but that doesn't just mean dark times and exposé. We want to celebrate the wins.' The project has drawn early comparisons to The Last Dance, for a similarly close look at '90s sports superstars. 'We're huge fans of The Last Dance, that was an incredible documentary series. I think this is maybe slightly different in its own way, I think aesthetically it kind of stands on its own, as its own thing,' Chapman responded. 'But we'd love to tap into that cultural zeitgeist, to look back on an iconic '90s sports team and hopefully it'll resonate.' They also joked that with Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders series America's Sweethearts streaming on Netflix as well, the two may be considered companion pieces: 'That's a great show. This is a little bit of a different look,' Chapman said, as Maclain added, 'A little bit of a different era but there's cheerleaders in our show too!' Smith and Irvin were also on hand at the premiere, as Smith noted how 'it felt good to relive it because one thing about us, we work so hard, we don't take the time often to reflect. And plus, that was our time, our time has come and gone and it's all about the current Cowboys right now. But this right here gave us a chance to go back and reflect and remind us what we were able to accomplish in a short period of time.' David Ellison, the brand new owner of Paramount, made an appearance at the event — his first time walking the carpet since his takeover — as Skydance produced the series and the directors called the company 'the best partners that filmmakers can ask for.' Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria also told the crowd before the screening, 'Back in March of 2023, I was having lunch with David Ellison at the Tower Bar, and he mentioned he had secured the rights to the telling of the Dallas Cowboys. I don't think he got the sentence out before I said, 'Wait, wait, wait, stop, we have to have it no matter what.' And he said, 'No, no, no, I'm telling you I'm getting the deal, I don't have it closed yet.' I was like, 'It doesn't matter, we just have to have it,'' as she's a big Cowboys fan. 'So David thank you for saying yes; Cowboys, too, thank you for saying yes.' America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys starts streaming Aug. 19 on Netflix.

‘Brutal' Meghan Accused of ‘Vicious, Nasty Move' Toward Kate as Harry & William's Relationship Takes an Unexpected Turn
People have always been interested in the relationship between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. This preceded the feud between Prince William and Prince Harry, but in the past few years, as the relationship between the brothers deteriorated, people have been even more invested in how the two wives get along, if they get along at all. And now some are taking a business decision on the part of Markle as an attack on Middleton. talked to royal expert Hugo Vickers, who criticized the fact that Markle will release a holiday special this December on Netflix, something that is said to clash with Kate Middleton's annual Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey. More from StyleCaster Kate Delivers Emotional Statement With William a Day After Their Serious Health Alert Serious Health Alert Issued Weeks After Kate Revealed She Still Can't 'Function Normally' Post-Cancer Related: Did William really cheat on Kate? 'It's always said that whenever Catherine, the Princess of Wales, starts something, Meghan Markle does something else to cap it, or in some ways clash with it,' Vickers said. Another source told the outlet, 'This is just the type of vicious, nasty move that is coming to define Meghan.' Vickers referred to the move as 'brutal,' adding. 'Obviously, the initiative of the Princess of Wales at Westminster Abbey is incredibly moving and incredibly special, and is done for the benefit of the rest of the world, for all the people who've been suffering, all the people who've helped with charities, all that sort of thing, so it's all for the public good,' he said, claiming Markle's holiday special isn't anywhere near the same. This all comes after recent reports regarding the brothers have been contradictory, to say the least. The Daily Beast reported that, according to a friend of William, 'He absolutely f—ing hates' Harry. That same source added, 'William will never, ever forgive Harry for what he has done. Charles is the king; he can do what he likes. But make no mistake: William believes with every fiber of his being that giving Harry and Meghan back any royal imprimatur is a huge mistake.' Recent reports also indicated William and Kate's friends refer to Markle's brand, As Ever, by a shady nickname, 'As If,' though there was no clarification about whether Prince William and Kate Middleton also used the nickname. Similarly, Kate Middleton's longtime right-hand woman, Natasha Archer, unfollowed Meghan Markle and her company after departing Kensington Palace, which was seen as a sign that the relationship between the two women isn't great. But there's also reportedly one thing that could bring the brothers closer together: the fact that their father, King Charles, is reportedly not doing well. A source told Parade that 'King Charles really isn't doing well,' adding that his health has been 'deteriorating more.' And that might just be the thing that pushes the brothers to finally put everything else aside and reconcile. 'It wouldn't be surprising if William and Harry reconnected a bit more over this,' the source added. 'This could be the thing that pushes it to happen.' So, while it seems the relationship between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle is strained at the moment, if their husbands reconcile, the two will probably be in each other's orbit again and that means they will likely make a point of, if not being friends, at least getting along.

Will 'With Love, Meghan 'Get a Season 3? What We Know About the Future of Meghan Markle's Netflix Show
NEED TO KNOW Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have extended their Netflix deal to produce more new film and television projects The news came shortly before the release of season two of the Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan The couple's announcement included the confirmation of a With Love, Meghan holiday special, but the future of the series remains unknown Meghan Markle just dropped the trailer for the second season of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, giving fans a look at the star-studded upcoming episodes of her food and lifestyle show. The release comes on the heels of the news that Meghan and Prince Harry have struck a new deal with Netflix for future film and television projects. On Aug. 11, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced that they would be extending their creative partnership with the streamer through their Archewell Productions with a multi-year, first-look deal. 'We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As ever brand," Meghan, 44, said in a statement. "My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally and celebrates our shared vision.' The update comes after it was widely reported in July that Harry and Meghan's initial five-year, $100 million deal with Netflix would not be renewed when it expires in September. In addition to the deal, the announcement came with the news of a With Love, Meghan holiday special, set to premiere in December. However, there's been no news yet about the possibility of future seasons of With Love, Meghan. Season two was announced shortly after With Love, Meghan premiered its debut season in March. The second season of the lifestyle show had already been filmed, with Michael Steed back as director. Netflix is also a partner with Meghan's lifestyle brand, As ever, and many of the products are featured on With Love, Meghan. Netflix's CEO, Ted Sarandos, recently said, "We're a passive partner in Meghan's company, and it's a big discovery model for us right now." The Duchess of Sussex told Inc that she was "building out a very different business plan" until she met with Josh Simon, Netflix's vice president of consumer products. "The reach from Netflix, coupled with my vision for the brand, felt like it was going to be a really perfect match," she said in the interview. She added, "They have tremendous experience on licensing deals and turning brands and shows into really good products, like Bridgerton,' referring to Shonda Rimes' royal-inspired series, which has expanded off-screen into fan experiences, concerts and more. It's also possible that Meghan will be turning her focus to other projects. The couple's Netflix press release about their latest deal included an announcement about a new documentary project, Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within. "In the heart of Uganda's Masaka region, where the shadows of the HIV/AIDS crisis linger, a small orphanage becomes a beacon of hope. Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within goes beyond the viral videos to reveal a vibrant, one-of-a-kind community where orphaned children transform hardship into joy, dancing their way toward healing, belonging, and the promise of a brighter future," said the release. Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more!

"Archewell Productions is in active development on additional projects with Netflix that span a variety of content genres, including the feature adaptation of the bestselling novel by Carley Fortune, Meet Me At The Lake. This romantic drama follows a decade-spanning love story that begins with a chance encounter and a broken promise," the release stated. Bela Bajaria, Netflix's Chief Content Officer, said in a statement: 'Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere. The response to their work speaks for itself — Harry & Meghan gave viewers an intimate look into their lives and quickly became one of our most-watched documentary series." "More recently, fans have been inspired by With Love, Meghan, with products from the new As ever line consistently selling out in record time. We're excited to continue our partnership with Archewell Productions and to entertain our members together.' Read the original article on People
