In a painfully raw revelation that lays bare the hidden cracks beneath their Love Is Blind fairytale, Amber Desiree “AD” Smith is speaking her truth — and it’s not the happily-ever-after fans were led to believe.

For months, AD stayed silent. Smiling in public. Posting curated glimpses of her journey to motherhood. But now, she’s finally breaking that silence — and what she’s revealing about her relationship with Ollie Sutherland is a devastating reminder that love built in the pods doesn’t always survive the real world.
“I’m Carrying His Child — So Why Do I Feel Like I’m Doing This Alone?”
“I thought this would bring us closer,” AD confessed through tears. “But instead, I’ve never felt more alone.”
According to AD, the man who once whispered promises of forever during late-night pod confessions has become emotionally distant and unreachable. “He told me he’d never leave me to carry life on my own,” she said. “But that’s exactly what’s happening — not physically, but emotionally. And honestly, that’s worse.”
What started as the most beautiful chapter of her life has now turned into a lonely, uncertain path — one filled with sleepless nights, whispered fears, and a creeping sense of betrayal.
A Shattered Illusion
The Love Is Blind alum says the shift wasn’t sudden — but it became impossible to ignore once she found out she was pregnant. “I saw little signs, but I wanted to believe it was just stress. I wanted to believe he loved me the way I loved him,” AD shared.
“But when I told him I was pregnant… I saw it. The panic. The hesitation. And then the walls started going up.”
Though Ollie has remained publicly supportive, AD claims his off-camera behavior tells a different story — one where she’s left navigating emotional landmines while preparing to bring a baby into the world.
“I Don’t Know Who We Are Anymore — Or If We Ever Really Were”
In perhaps her most gut-wrenching admission, AD confessed she’s now unsure if the love they built was ever truly real. “It felt magical. I needed it to be magical. But I look back now and wonder… was I just in love with the idea of us?”
Fans of the show watched Ollie and AD’s connection blossom quickly and intensely — but AD says real life has exposed a painful truth: they weren’t prepared. “We said all the right things. But forever isn’t built on words. It’s built on presence. On showing up. And right now… he’s not.”
No Longer Hiding
Still, AD isn’t giving up — not on herself, and not on the future she’s now fighting to rebuild, with or without Ollie by her side. “I’m not saying I don’t love him. I do. But I’m also starting to love myself enough to speak the truth. And the truth is: I feel abandoned.”
“I’m carrying a life. I’m becoming a mother. I shouldn’t have to beg the man who helped create this child to also create a sense of safety with me.”
Whether Ollie steps up or fades further remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: AD Smith is no longer staying silent — and the storybook romance Love Is Blind sold the world has officially cracked open.
