Overview

  • In the Aug. 15 finale five couples faced the ‘Match Point’ compatibility quiz and a peer vote hosted by Nick Lachey that crowned Lucy Syed and Daniel Perfetto as winners.
  • A post-credits scene on Netflix confirmed that Syed and Perfetto ended their relationship weeks after filming concluded.
  • Amber “AD” Smith and Ollie Sutherland, who finished second, announced an engagement six months after production and revealed they are expecting their first child.
  • Other finalist pairs—including Sandy & Louis, Freddie & Madison and Rachel & Ray—have publicly split since the season wrapped.
  • Season 3’s mix of Love Island, Bachelor Nation and Netflix-original alumni created a compressed environment that yielded contrasting real-world outcomes.
