Perfect Match has crowned its Season 3 winners. The season finale, which dropped on August 15, is now streaming on Netflix after three weeks of compatibility challenges. Read on to find out who won this season and which couples are still together.
Hosted by Nick Lachey, the third installment of the series brought together 22 well-known singles from various Netflix reality shows like Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle and The Ultimatum. For the first time ever, the season also featured singles from other popular dating franchises, including Bachelor Nation and Love Island. The singles lived in a tropical paradise, where they competed in compatibility challenges to find love.
Only five couples made it to the Season 3 finale of Perfect Match: AD and Ollie, Sandy and Louis, Lucy and Daniel, Freddie and Madison and Rachel and Ray. In the finale, Lachey asked the remaining matches a series of questions about their partners and their Perfect Match milestones.
Lucy and Daniel, along with AD and Ollie, received the highest scores, allowing them to move on to the final voting phase. Ultimately, the season’s remaining participants voted to determine who would be named the most compatible couple.
So, who won Perfect Match Season 3 and which couples are still together?

After a final vote from the cast, Lucy Syed (Too Hot to Handle) and Daniel Perfetto (Dated & Related) were named the winners of Perfect Match Season 3. As their prize, the couple were gifted an all-expenses-paid vacation to build their relationship. Lucy said they were planning to travel to Fiji.
“I genuinely wasn’t expecting it to be us. I really thought it was going to be Ollie and AD,” Lucy told Netflix’s Tudum.

Unfortunately, Perfect Match season 3 winners, Lucy and Daniel, are no longer together. A title card at the end of the finale revealed that the couple broke up weeks later. “Daniel and I … just friends,” Lucy confirmed to Swooon. “Um, no bad blood, no bad vibes. Just, yeah, just friends.”

Relationship status: Still together
Perfect Match’s AD and Ollie are not only still together, but they’re also engaged and expecting their first child. The couple announced their engagement at the Love Is Blind Season 8 reunion back in March.
“Even as early on as when we were on Perfect Match, I noticed that we were having the deeper conversations, the more important conversations, talking about shared values and similar outlooks on life,” Ollie said during the reunion. “I think that really laid the groundwork and the foundation for the beautiful relationship we have now, and I definitely attribute a lot of that to our experiences on Love Is Blind.”
A few months later, in May, the lovebirds revealed on Instagram that they were expecting their first child together. “’How you changed my world, you’ll never know’ 🤍,” read the caption of the sweet announcement video.
The couple told People in July that they already have a name picked out. “We’ve got a name, but it’s remaining top secret, and funny enough, I was pleasantly surprised at how aligned we were very, very early on,” Ollie said. “Probably like the first two or three names, we got the one, and it just shows how aligned we are in like the way we think and everything.”
Sandy and Louis

Sandy and Louis are unfortunately no longer together after their time on Perfect Match. He confirmed the breakup after being spotted holding hands with Love Island USA Season 7 star Huda Mustafa at the red carpet premiere of the movie Weapons.
Season 3 contestant Rachel Recchia later criticized Louis on The Viall Files podcast for spoiling his and Sandy’s fate. “It’s literally airing—we have what, maybe two weeks? It feels, like, a little selfish,” Rachel said. “It affects the whole cast.”
She continued, “I love him as a person. I think he’s amazing. I get along with him so well. He’s such great TV… I mean, Sandy and him have such a good connection on the show. Now people are kinda seeing things like, ‘Oh, what’s going on now?’”
Louis and Huda were first spotted together in London before the first batch of Perfect Match episodes debuted on Netflix on Friday, August 1.
Freddie and Madison

Relationship status: Broken up
Although Freddie and Madison made plans to pursue their romance after the show, the relationship didn’t last. Freddie told Elite Daily that it ended due to the challenges of long distance — he is from Manchester, while Madison hails from Minneapolis.
“We carried on speaking afterwards, but we were very realistic about the fact that there was 4,000 miles between us,” Freddie revealed. “And gradually over time, it just became apparent that it was more of a friendship.”
He also said their connection felt different in the real world. “In the bubble of Perfect Match, it was a roller coaster of emotions in this surreal environment, and moving back to the norm of real life, it just became apparent that continuing to date probably wasn’t the best idea,” he added.
Rachel and Ray

Rachel and Ray are also no longer together following the Perfect Match Season 3 finale. They mentioned going on some dates in Los Angeles during the finale, which Rachel said they followed through on, but their connection never reached a romantic level.
“I have seen him in LA quite a bit. We are friends,” Rachel told Elite Daily, noting that their relationship felt like a platonic situation on the show. “We were super late in the process when we formed a relationship, so it didn’t have much time to progress past friendship. I don’t know if we ever really were in a real relationship.”
While Rachel and Ray didn’t work out — along with the Season 3 finale couples besides AD and Ollie — the former Bachelor star teased that at Netflix’s Summer Break event, some couples were getting back together a year after filming concluded.
“There’s a lot still going on, like, even just from that Netflix [Summer Break] event,” Rachel said on The Viall Files. “There’s a lot happening. Oh, my God, there might have been more drama at that Netflix event [than on the show]. There’s still stuff going on, [even though] filming was a year ago.”
All episodes of Perfect Match Season 3 are streaming on Netflix.
