Amber Desiree “AD” Smith and Ollie Sutherland are going to be parents!
The Love Is Blind alums are expecting their first baby together. The couple, who recently confirmed their relationship and announced their engagement in March, shared the happy news via a joint Instagram post on Sunday, May 25.
The post features a video of the two reality TV stars walking toward each other and then holding hands, with Smith’s engagement ring on display. As they take a walk together in nature, they share some sweet moments, such as a kiss and Smith stopping to straighten her fiancé’s collar.
The clip — set to Monica’s “Angel of Mine” — ends with the big reveal: The couple turns toward the camera, and they both rest their hands on Smith’s baby bump with matching smiles.
Smith shared a sweet quote in the caption: “How you changed my world, you’ll never know.”
A number of Love Is Blind stars left messages of congratulations and well-wishes in the comments, including Freddy Powell, who jokingly asked, “Can I be godfather?”
Zack Goytowski — a recent new dad himself — wrote: “Congratulations @amberdesiree and @ollie1sutherland 🤯. I’m so happy for you both!!!!!”

During the season 8 reunion of Love Is Blind on March 9, season 6 star Smith and Sutherland, who appeared on season 1 of Love Is Blind: UK, revealed that they are engaged.
The couple first met while filming season 3 of Perfect Match, which is set to premiere this summer. Once filming wrapped, they fueled romance rumors after being spotted at an intimate dinner together in Mexico. However, the pair never publicly confirmed their romance — that is, until the March 9 reunion.
After coming out on the reunion stage, the two spoke about their lives lately, which included Smith’s new podcast What’s the Reality? and their appearance on Perfect Match. Then, they introduced a promo for the upcoming season of the Netflix hit before the video showed Sutherland leading Smith 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,” Ollie 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 Smith squealed and said “yes” before sharing a kiss with her new fiancé.
During the March 11 episode of Smith’s What’s the Reality podcast, the couple spoke candidly about their plans for their special day — and teased that they may be holding two ceremonies instead of one.
“We do have a wedding to plan,” Smith said during the episode, telling fans, “We have a date.”
Additionally, she said the couple hopes to host two ceremonies for each of their families — one in the U.S. for her family and one in the U.K. for Sutherland’s.
“[We’re getting] married here in the States so that, obviously, your family can be there and share the experience,” Sutherland said. “And then some of my people will still come.”
