Amber Desiree “AD” Smith and Ollie Sutherland have officially become parents.
The Perfect Match stars welcomed their first baby together, with Smith sharing the news in a social media update that included a set of photos spanning her pregnancy and the days immediately after giving birth.
AD Smith Announces the Birth With a Personal Photo Set
On Jan. 12, 2026, Smith posted a series of images described as some of her favorite bump photos, ranging from early pregnancy to a picture taken four days postpartum. She also told followers that she and the baby were doing well.
The post was not framed as a formal announcement with lots of details. Instead, it was more of a quiet check-in, the kind that signals “we are home, we are okay, and I will be back online when I can.”
What the Couple Has and Has Not Shared About the Baby
Smith and Sutherland confirmed they were expecting a baby girl when they announced the pregnancy in May 2025.
As of the reporting tied to the birth update, the baby’s name had not been publicly revealed. However, the couple previously said they had already chosen a name and planned to keep it private for the time being.
Their Reality TV Timeline, From Netflix Match to Real Life
Smith and Sutherland met through Netflix’s reality TV universe and became one of the rare couples who kept the relationship going once filming wrapped.
-
They confirmed their engagement publicly during a Love Is Blind reunion, with coverage noting they first met while filming Perfect Match season 3.
-
Entertainment Weekly later described them as still together and engaged, with a baby on the way.
-
Netflix’s Tudum also highlighted their relationship as one fans watched unfold on Perfect Match, with the added context that their real-life milestones were already public by the time the season premiered.
What They Said About Becoming Parents Before the Baby Arrived
In earlier interviews around the pregnancy, both Smith and Sutherland talked about feeling excited and nervous, especially about the sleep deprivation that comes with newborn life.
That mix of emotions is basically the most believable part of any celebrity baby coverage: they were thrilled, they knew it would be hard, and they did not pretend otherwise.
Conclusion
For a couple that started in a Netflix dating show setting, AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland have moved through the real milestones in a pretty grounded way: confirm the relationship, get engaged, share the pregnancy, then step back when life gets intense.
The birth update fit that pattern. It was not overproduced, it did not chase headlines, and it kept the focus where it belongs right now: a new baby, a recovering mom, and a family settling into a completely new rhythm.
