Amber Desiree “AD” Smith and Marshall Glaze were present at the Love Is Blind season 7 reunion, and their body language indicated they might be together after their respective seasons. Marshall starred in Love Is Blind season 4, matching with Love Is Blind villain Jackelina “Jackie” Bonds and splitting before reaching the altar. In contrast, AD nearly married Clay Gravesande in the Charlotte season of Love Is Blind, with Clay turning her down on their wedding day. After getting cozy at the reunion ahead of Love Is Blind season 8, it seems possible that AD and Marshall are together.
As expected, the Love Is Blind season 7 reunion was a mess. Tyler Francis and Ashley Adionser made nonsensical, clearly prepared statements regarding Tyler’s alleged sperm donor babies. Meanwhile, Hannah Jiles and Marissa George ganged up on Nick Dorka, accusing him of going on Love Is Blind season 7 for clout. Tim Godbee and Alex Byrd engaged in a minutes-long “he said, she said” argument that was finally broken up by host Vanessa Lachey. However, it was difficult to ignore Marshall’s proximity to AD on the couch, suggesting they could be a couple.
AD Teased A New Boyfriend
She’s In A Relationship
AD appeared at the Love Is Blind season 7 wearing a revealing, tight-fitting gold dress that showed off her figure. She was seated on a couch with Marshall and Love Is Blind season 3’s Nancy Rodriguez, who had the great misfortune of getting engaged to Bartise Bowden in the Dallas season. However, she and Marshall were seated much more closely together with Nancy sitting awkwardly off to the side.
In recent seasons, Vanessa and Nick Lachey have invited previous cast members and asked them about their lives after Love Is Blind. Other former cast members seen at the Love Is Blind season 7 reunion were Zach Goytowski and Bliss Poureetezadi and Love Is Blind season 1’s Jessica Batten. While Zach and Bliss’ introduction of their daughter, Galileo, was a little boring, all eyes were on AD as she detailed her dating life after Love Is Blind season 6.
“Keeping it private, keeping it cute.”
Vanessa asked AD about her relationship status early on, and the normally outspoken reality TV star suddenly acted coy and shy. She shared she was, “keeping it private, keeping it cute,” with a new guy, and “just having a good time.” AD wasn’t willing or able to share more, but it was clear she didn’t want to share more information.
Marhall Broke Off His Engagement
She Shaded AD On Instagram
While Marshall introduced his ex-fianceé, Dr. Chay Barnes in the Love Is Blind season 6 After The Altar special, they split in September. Speaking at an event, Marshall explained they parted ways because they realized they were in different stages of life. Despite the split, he emphasized that their relationship was a positive experience.
Dr. Chay and Marshall were together a little over a year before breaking off their engagement in September 2024.
The news came as a shock given Marshall and Chay marking their first anniversary in July with a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating their journey. They got engaged in December 2023, with Marshall enlisting the help of his Love Is Blind co-star, Irina Solomonova, to arrange the proposal. Since their breakup, Marshall moved from Seattle to Los Angeles and has removed most photos of Chay from his social media.
“Respectfully, I’d like to keep it very cute & very private at this time.”
Chay isn’t a fan of the attention she’s getting after the Love Is Blind season 7 reunion. In early November, she posted a message for nosy fans on her Instagram story. “I’m getting way too many direct messages, comments, & people asking me for my story or to be on their podcast re: why I ended my engagement,” she wrote, continuing, “Respectfully, I’d like to keep it very cute & very private at this time,” followed by a smiley face emoji.
The “very cute & very private” comment seemed to be a jab at AD’s response at the reunion, adding to the rumors that Marshall and AD could be together. It’s possible she and AD are friends, and she’s showing support for her friend. However, given the proximity of AD and Marshall on the couch, it appeared to be a shady remark.

While Marshall and AD seemed awfully cozy on the couch at the Love Is Blind season 7 reunion, it’s more likely AD is in a relationship with Love Is Blind UK‘s Ollie Sutherland. Ollie matched with Demi Santana Brown in the pods, but they ultimately decided to split at the altar. Perfect Match season 3’s cast hasn’t been announced yet, but there’s plenty of evidence that AD and Ollie starred in the show and are still together today.
In a TikTok posted by @byamalco in October, Ollie and AD could be seen flirting at a romantic dinner together. According to The Tab, there are other clues the pair is together. AD later posted Instagram Stories from Camden Town in London, and her photos matched those on Ollie’s Instagram story, who also happened to be in the capital. While there’s been no official announcement, having AD on Love Is Blind season 7’s reunion seems to be a soft launch for her Perfect Match season 3 casting.
AD and Marshall likely aren’t together, given AD’s relationship status and Marshall’s assertion that he’s still single after breaking off his engagement with Chay. Additionally, there are clues online that AD is dating Love Is BlindUK‘s Ollie. Until Perfect Match season 3 airs, fans are unlikely to get more detailed answers.
