‘Perfect Match’ Season 3: Which Couples Are Still Together After Finale?
[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for Perfect Match Season 3.]
The finale of Perfect Match‘s newest season finally dropped on Friday, August 15, revealing the fate of all the couples. For the first time, the third season of Netflix’s all-star reality dating show brought together single daters from within the Netflix Reality Universe with Netflix newbies from shows like The Bachelor and Love Island, including multiple cast members who share previous connections that are complicated, to say the least. (We’re looking at you Rachel Recchia and Clayton Echard.)
Tasked with finding a partner, both in life and compatibility competition, Perfect Match follows a collection of reality TV alumni looking for another shot at love. Day to day, the matches go head-to-head for the chance to enter the boardroom, where winners are tasked with breaking up couples by bringing new singles into the competition.
Throughout the season, connections were tested, and only five couples remained by the end. Scroll to find out who ended up together in the final episode.

Perfect Match, Season 3, Streaming now, Netflix
AD & Ollie
Status: Engaged and Expecting!
It’s no surprise that these Love Is Blind stars who originally entered the pods across the pond from one another found lasting love on Perfect Match. The second Ollie spotted AD, he told viewers, “The moment I came in, it sounds really cliche, but it’s like everyone else kind of became a little bit invisible, and I just like, zoom, like tunnel vision on her.” It’s no wonder that AD immediately proclaimed she was “staking [her] claim in Ollie,” his romantic speech alone would have turned us to absolute mush.
After AD was sent home during Part 1, Ollie matched with Love Island star Justine Ndiba. After finding out that Ollie and Justine shared more than just their time, AD was incredibly frustrated. However, the couple made their relationship official in March during the Love Is Blind Season 8 reunion and have since announced that they are expecting a baby, so it’s safe to say the cat’s out of the bag with this one.
They finished Perfect Match in second place, but they clearly won the real prize!
Cody & Madison
Status: Split
Caught between Clayton and Cody, Madison went with her gut and chose the southern Temptation Island star. However, as the winner’s of Nick Lachey‘s first compatibility test, Madison and Cody proved to be an imperfect match during their trip to the boardroom. Madison confessed, “Cody’s a good guy but this was my moment to make a better choice for myself.”
Juliette & Clayton
Status: Split
Turns out, Clayton has women who “hate to interrupt” his one-on-one conversations outside of the Bachelor Mansion, too. While Clayton was originally caught between Madison and Juliette, he ultimately matched with the Siesta Key star.
Unfortunately, Clayton broke things off with Juliette when his ex entered the competition. However, Juliette didn’t seem too bothered by their split as she had recently admitted she thought Clayton was “too deep.”
Sandy & Louis
Status: Seemingly Split
Leading up to Perfect Match, Louis promised to “take your gal” if he needed to. However, the Too Hot to Handle star stayed locked in with Sandy from Day 1. Lana would be proud!
During one of the most shocking moments of the season, Louis’s other connection Alex revealed that she would be down for threesome. Seeing as Sandy was most certainly not down, the couple remained an unbreakable duo — that is until Sandy was reunited with her The Ultimatum trial husband, J.R. Caught between her current connection and a blast from the past, Sandy had to make a tough decision, but she ended up sticking it out with Louis.
They finished the show as a match, but have seemingly since broken up. Louis has made multiple appearances with Love Island U.S.A‘s favorite mamacita, Huda Mustafa. With a red carpet debut and romantic rumors circulating, Louis appears to have moved on from his Perfect Match partner post-show.
Lucy & Daniel
Status: Split
Dated & Related‘s “Certified Loverboy” has fallen for one of Too Hot To Handle‘s runner-up singles. Together since Day 1, Lucy and Daniel’s relationship was marked by many highs and lows, including a spicy bondage date and a blowout spat in which Daniel called Lucy “embarrassing.”
Lucy and Daniel ended up winning Perfect Match, but they split just a few weeks later, per an update at the end of the finale.
Rachel & Scott
Status: Spli
While Rachel’s first day in the competition was messy, to say the least, things began to look up when Clayton and Sandy sent her on a date with Love Island UK “bad boy” Scott.
As a new couple, fans couldn’t help but notice that Scott may not have had the best intentions. After all, he frequently admitted that he sees Rachel as a path into the house. Ultimately, both Rachel and Scott moved on to different partners during Part 2.
Juliette & Scott
Status: Split
Both Juliette and Scott seemed like they would do anything it takes to make a connection and stay in the game. However, once they met each other, it seemed like no other person mattered. That is, until Juliette was sent on her second date with Carrington.
According to Juliette, during their date, she and Carrington connected on a far deeper level than her and Scott ever had. She even told Carrington that Scott is “not her Perfect Match.”
When they all got back to the villa, though, Juliette decided she wanted to match with Scott again, and it looked like they were heading to the final day of filming together. However, Carrington blew the relationship up when he told Scott what Juliette said about him on the date. In the end, all three of them left the villa single.
Rachel & Clayton
Status: Split
While these Bachelor Nation exes shocked everyone with a romantic reunion, their Perfect Match connection was short lived. Clayton quickly took Rachel aside after she entered the competition on a date with Freddie. Seeing Rachel he stated, “[Rachel is] the last person I thought would walk in. I almost got married to Rachel on The Bachelor, but found love a few too many times. Three times to be exact. I had to tell the two women there [Rachel and Gabby Windey] that I had been intimate with both of them and that I expressed feelings of love to both of them as well. You can imagine how well that went.”
Clayton chocked their reunion up to fate (even though it was clearly the result of a tactical casting process) and convinced Rachel to match with him during her first night on the show. The next morning, Clayton’s “intuition” kicked in, causing him to dump Rachel, again. Someone call up Olivia Rodrigo because we’re getting some serious deja vu…
Madison & Freddie
Status: Still together … for now
Madison may have struck out with her first match, but the second she met Freddie, she knew her relationship with the British funeral director would be anything but dead in the water.
Voted as one of the two most compatible couples, Madison and Freddie were instantly split up to test their connection. However, Madison held on strong to their connection, getting back together with him the moment he came back into the competition.
They made it all the way to the finale as a match, but we’ll have to wait for an update about where they stand now!
Rachel & Ray
Status: Still together … for now
As the final couple to take on the boardroom, Team Rachel Ray was an unexpected frontrunner for the crown of Season 3’s most compatible couple.
While Rachel and Ray noticed they were inclined to take different approaches towards the competition (he was definitely more cutthroat), Rachel made it clear that she was not interested in pursuing anyone else.
They were one of the five final couples and were still together at the end of the show, but we’ll have to wait and see if the love lasted!
