If there’s one thing absolutely nobody can deny, it’s that Netflix’s ‘Perfect Match’ is a reality dating series wherein drama, interpersonal bonds, and twists are at the forefront. Therefore, of course, season 3 was absolutely no different, but this time around, the compatibility challenges, the dates, as well as the boardroom had upgrades and strings no one could have imagined. So now that the season has finally concluded, let’s find out more about the present standing of some of the most prominent couples and singles, shall we?
Despite Winning, Lucy and Daniel Could Not Make Things Work in the Real World
While it’s true that Lucy Syed and Daniel Perfetto matched up on the very first night following an intense conversation, their connection was far from idealistic. That’s because there was jealousy and possessiveness at every step of the way, with Daniel going as far as to state she “embarrassed” him when she rated Ollie the highest in the kissing challenge. The fact that he then went wild during the boys’ mixer didn’t help either, but in the end, they talked and made up with one another, resulting in them also being crowned the winners of this season.
Lucy and Daniel planned to go to Fiji for the 7-day vacation that they won, but unfortunately, they parted ways within weeks owing to their possible long-distance and jealousy. Neither the Londoner nor the Canadian has since explicitly confirmed or denied the reason behind their break-up, but they have seemingly managed to remain amicable despite now seemingly leading entirely different lives. While Lucy continues to reside in her hometown of London, where she works as a model, influencer, and aspiring air hostess, the now-29-year-old Malta-Canadian is a fashion and fitness enthusiast who proudly serves as a model under the banner of Elevate Talent Agency. Moreover, it seems like Lucy is secretly dating someone else as of writing, since there is a man’s hand in some of her recent posts.
AD and Ollie Are Preparing to Welcome a New Addition Into Their Lives
Amber Desiree “AD” Smith and Oscar Issac faced some of the same issues that the former couple did in terms of jealousy. However, they also had to deal with the challenge of AD suddenly being asked to leave the villa simply because she and Ollie were so strong. Nevertheless, when they reconnected, they made sure to do it in such a way that they covered all boxes, and while they did have a few screaming matches, they ultimately realized they were better together than apart. Therefore, they walked away from the experiment hand-in-hand, with the ‘Love is Blind’ stars deciding to be together for the long run.
However, no one could have ever expected that Ollie would get down on one knee for AD within 6 months, shortly following which they would also get pregnant. With him being based in London and her in Los Angeles, they did initially have to figure out a way to navigate their journey, but it seems like they have now settled down together in California. In fact, the real estate agent turned influencer and ‘‘What’s the Reality?’ podcast host is now truly head over heels in love and happy with Ollie, who has also embraced life as an online creator. Honestly, we can’t wait to see what’s in the cards for them next.
Sandy and Louis Are No Longer Romantically Involved
‘The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On’ season 3 cast member Sandy Gallagher and ‘Too Hot to Handle’ season 5 star Louis Russell connected from the very first night in the villa. However, owing to them being open to the experiment, they didn’t wholly commit to one another and even discussed dating other people if they were matched on different dates. This led to there being quite a bit of drama between them, especially after he kissed 3 women during the guys’ mixer, but they were always open and honest with one another. Ultimately, though, they realized they had grown to genuinely care about one another, resulting in them deciding to be together for good.
However, Sandy and Louis couldn’t make things work in the real world, likely owing to the long distance – after all, she is based in the US, whereas he is proudly from the UK. Thus, while they have managed to maintain a seemingly amicable connection, there is nothing romantic between them anymore, as also made evident by the latter recently having been seen in public with ‘Love Island USA’ star Huda Mustafa. Coming to their independent personal standing as of writing, Sandy is a fashion, lifestyle, and makeup content creator as well as a travel enthusiast in every sense of the term. On the other hand, Louis continues to be a boxing enthusiast, career model, rising influencer, rising rapper, and the proud founder of MINACIA, a Society For The Rule Breakers. His debut single “She Pretty” was released worldwide on July 14, 2025.
Madison and Freddie Have Seemingly Moved Forward in Their Lives
From the moment Madison Errichiello saw Freddie Powell in the boardroom when paired up with Cody, she knew she was attracted to him and thus decided to send herself on a date. Little did she know that they would actually connect so deeply that they would soon be considered one of the strongest couples in the villa. It is because of this that Madison was later selected to go on a date with two new individuals, but in a twist of events, Freddie was also asked to leave. Thankfully, though, the duo managed to find their way back to one another, and they ended their stint on the show hand-in-hand.
Unfortunately, from what we can tell, with Madison being based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, whereas Freddie a proud business owner back in his homeland of England, they didn’t last in the long. In other words, they weren’t able to make their relationship work and are currently focusing on their own individual standings. The former has a background in the corporate world, but she is currently thriving as the Social Media Manager at Collegis Education, a content creator as well as a painter. On the other hand, Freddie continues to serve as a Funeral Director while also caring for his family. We should mention that it appears as if Freddie could now be dating Lucy Syed, especially considering they both hail from the UK and recently uploaded photos from the same place on their respective social media platforms.
Rachel and Ray Could Possibly Still be Dating
While it’s true that Rachel Recchia and Ray Gantt coupled up right near the end of ‘Perfect Match’ season 3, the way they connected was arguably the most authentic and sincere. In fact, it was evident that while they were talking to different people throughout their stint, they were doing so with intention – they didn’t play any games, they were simply both looking for their forever love. Therefore, by the end, they made it clear that they plan on choosing one another as partners for the foreseeable future, meaning they walked away determined to make their relationship work.
The truth is, many doubted the odds of Rachel and Ray’s relationship surviving in the real world, considering they had so little time, but there definitely was something real between them. Thus, from what we can tell, with them both being in the US – albeit a few states away – it seems like they have managed to make things work between them by still continuing to choose one another. As for their professional standing, while Rachel is a commercial pilot as well as a rising influencer in the world of beauty, fashion, and lifestyle, reality television star Ray is currently pursuing a degree in biology with aspirations of becoming a dentist one day.
Clayton Echard is Currently Focused on His Career
Despite the fact that Clayton Echard has made it clear that he does want to find his perfect match, get married, and have a family one day, things have not panned out for him. ‘The Bachelor’ season 26 star did believe there could still be something between him and his ex Rachel when she suddenly stepped into the ‘Perfect Match’ villa, but that was not the case, and he actually seems to be single as of writing. Therefore, it appears as if the self-proclaimed “Dating Show Professional’s” priority these days is his family, traveling, and his career as a proud entrepreneur.
Clayton is actually a dance enthusiast as well as a mental health advocate, who has even penned and published a book titled ‘180 Degrees: On Mental Health, Mindfulness, and Unlocking Self-Belief.’ Furthermore, he is the host of the ‘Beyond the Cover’ podcast and is actively associated with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The Scottsdale, Arizona, resident even owns-operates an Airbnb property and a solar panel business named Green Muscle Solar, all the while also being a real estate agent under the banner of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty.
Juliette Porter Continues to Shine as an Entrepreneur and Public Figure
While Juliette Porter was arguably one of the most polarizing figures in this season of ‘Perfect Match,’ she was admittedly authentically herself at every step of the way. Unfortunately, she could not find her true life partner through this experience, but she did recognize that she does like a bit of drama and toxicity in her connections, as it keeps things interesting. However, from what we can tell, despite her realizing what she wants out of relationships, it doesn’t appear as if she has found her real match yet, but she continues to thrive in her professional life. In fact, today, the Miami, Florida, resident is the proud co-founder and co-owner of a Swimwear & Resortwear brand called JMP The Label, and she is the co-host of the ‘Don’t Be Ridiculous’ podcast.
