Some relationships blossom most beautifully within the heightened emotions and pressure of a reality TV setting, where we get to witness two people grow together in real time. Watching that connection unfold makes it easy to feel invested in their journey. In the third season of Netflix’s ‘Perfect Match,’ Madison Errichiello and Freddie Powell embodied exactly that. Their bond was sweet, steady, and full of charm and care. Though both were reserved in their ways, they consistently showed up for each other and built a relationship based on mutual respect, comfort, and undeniable chemistry that made them easy to root for.
Madison and Freddie’s Conviction in the Relationship Did Not Waver
Madison Errichiello’s journey on the season began with optimism and openness. As one of the first contestants to enter the villa, she initially paired with Cody, and the two even won their first challenge together. However, she sensed that while her connection with him was good, something more meaningful awaited her. Trusting her intuition, she made a move in the boardroom and sent herself on a date with one of the new arrivals. That decision introduced her to Freddie Powell for the first time. Both Madison and Freddie came from the ‘Love Is Blind’ universe, and the former had a hunch that they would be aligned with what they were looking for: a serious, lasting relationship.
From their very first conversation, she was struck by his warmth and intentionality, even telling him he had set a new standard for what love should feel like. Their connection deepened quickly, and the two kept coupling up each round without hesitation. Even when Freddie was sent on a date with newcomer Rachel, it only reaffirmed his feelings. He returned and immediately paired with Madison again, showing how steady their bond truly was. But in a twist of the game, the couple was forced to separate. The twist was that one partner would be sent home, and the other on a date with someone new. Freddie was eliminated, and Madison stayed behind.
Madison went on dates with both Jalen and Ray but ultimately chose the former to pair with. She felt they shared similarities and would be compatible. However, she openly admitted that Freddie was still on her mind and that she was playing along for the competition. This is why, when Freddie returned during the women’s mixer, Madison was overjoyed. She spent the entire time curled up next to him, and he had no doubts about recoupling as well. They seamlessly picked up where they had left off. Having faced and overcome challenges, their relationship emerged stronger, making them one of the most formidable couples heading into the finale.
Madison and Freddie Have Not Spoken About Reconnecting With One Another
After Freddie’s return, it seemed like Madison’s belief in him being her “perfect match” was reaffirmed. She explicitly said that she had not met a man like him and was very sure of her choice. It seemed like both of them could envision their relationship beyond the villa as well. In fact, during the finale, he asserted he “felt blessed to find someone as special as her. This isn’t the end of our book, it’s just the end of chapter one.” On the flip side, she gushed, “I saw Freddie and game over. He truly is such a green flag… he makes me such a softer, kinder person… I have felt like a winner since I’ve met Freddie, and I have absolutely found my perfect match in Freddie.”
However, since filming wrapped in the fall of 2024, neither Madison nor Freddie has publicly confirmed whether they were able to make things work in the long run. The two remain connected on social media and continue to engage with each other’s updates, suggesting there’s still some level of closeness. Yet, beyond the occasional interaction, there’s little clarity about where they stand romantically. No photos, posts, or public acknowledgments have revealed whether their romance reignited in the real world or quietly faded away. While many fans speculate that their deep emotional bond may have survived beyond the show, both Madison and Freddie have chosen to keep that chapter of their lives private for now. As it stands, their relationship status remains unclear, but there are rumors that Freddie might now be romantically involved with fellow cast member Lucy Syed.
