Since its 2023 debut, Perfect Match has brought together singles from across reality TV to see if they can find love in a villa full of strangers, challenges, and drama. But while the dating comp makes for great TV, the real-world results have been far less predictable and for most pairings across the first three seasons, lasting love proved elusive.
Dom Gabriel and Georgia Hassarati (Season 1)
Dom and Georgia were one of Season 1’s most talked-about couples and even emerged as winners of that season. But despite their villa success, they did not stay together after filming. Long-distance challenges and public back-and-forth on social media followed their split, and both have since moved on personally and professionally.
Joey Sasso and Kariselle Snow (Season 1)
Joey and Kariselle entered the show with history and left engaged, but the relationship fell apart after the finale. They cited personal differences and conflicting goals, with public tension erupting when fellow cast members alleged Joey ghosted Kariselle post-show. Both are currently focused on personal pursuits and are no longer a couple.
Bartise Bowden and Izzy Fairthorne (Season 1)
This pairing had a rocky villa experience from the start, and that instability carried into real life. The two split shortly after filming wrapped, with distance and differing priorities cited as key issues. Bartise has since embraced fatherhood and focuses on family life, while Izzy continues competing in reality shows.
Shayne Jansen and Chloe Veitch (Season 1)
Shayne and Chloe brought heat into the finals, but the transition off camera was harder. Their romance didn’t last beyond the show, with both eventually pursuing other relationships or paths. Distance and mismatched priorities were among the factors they acknowledged post-split.
Nick Uhlenhuth and Lauren “LC” Chamblin (Season 1)
Their connection was relatively brief, forming late in Season 1 and wrapping up soon after. Nick and LC did not stay together, and both appear to be focused on separate personal and professional endeavors today.
Christine Obanor and Nigel Jones (Season 2)
Season 2 winners Christine and Nigel lasted about nine months after filming before ending their relationship. They cited trust issues and personal struggles in public conversations about their breakup.
Kaz Bishop and Micah Lussier (Season 2)
Kaz and Micah explored a connection during Season 2, but it ended soon after the show wrapped. Micah’s post-show comments suggested lingering tension, and both appear to be single or pursuing other relationships.
Stevan Ditter and Alara Taneri (Season 2)
Stevan and Alara were a fan-favorite pair, but like many before them, their relationship didn’t survive outside the villa. Long distance and limited real-world chemistry contributed to their split.
Bryton Constantin and Elys Hutchinson (Season 2)
This late-season pairing showed promise, but it didn’t last long after filming, and both have moved on.
Chris Hahn and Tolú Ekundare (Season 2)
Chris and Tolú seemed well matched on camera, but outside the villa they split up amid miscommunication and growing apart.
AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland (Season 3)
Finally, Season 3 delivered a real success story: AD and Ollie remain together. They formed a solid connection in the season’s later stages and not only stayed together afterward, but got engaged and announced that they’re expecting their first child in 2025 — a major milestone for what might be Perfect Match’s most enduring couple yet.
Lucy Syed and Daniel Perfetto (Season 3)
Despite winning Season 3’s competition, Lucy and Daniel split soon after filming ended. Their connection fizzled as life outside the villa set in, illustrating that winning the show doesn’t guarantee a lasting relationship.
Rachel Recchia and Ray Gantt (Season 3)
Rachel and Ray posted friendship updates after the show, but their relationship remained platonic and ultimately didn’t continue romantically. They remain good friends but not a couple.
Madison Errichiello and Freddie Powell / Sandy Gallagher and Louis Russell (Season 3)
These two pairs also did not stay together after filming. Madison and Freddie cited long distance as a key barrier, while Sandy and Louis ultimately chose different paths despite a brief post-show vacation together.
The Big Picture: Across the first three seasons of Perfect Match, only one couple, AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland, remains together and thriving, with life events like engagement and pregnancy marking a rare success story for the franchise. Most other pairings have dissolved post-show, highlighting how reality-TV romance often struggles once cameras stop rolling.
