First comes love. Then comes a proposal. Then comes announcing your engagement at a Love Is Blind reunion. At least that’s how the relationship timeline unfolded for Perfect Match Season 3’s Ollie and AD.

Ever since this season of the dating competition launched, the new group of singles mingling at mixers and making executive decisions in the boardroom have continued to drop more love bombs and shed light on their ever-shifting relationship statuses. Much has already transpired in their lives since entering the villa, which raises a few questions.

Already in the midst of the latest batch of episodes? Read on to find out when and where Perfect Match Season 3 was filmed so you can keep these always entertaining — and sometimes slightly messy — relationship timelines straight while you watch.

Back in April, during the Love Is Blind Season 8 reunion, AD and Ollie — both LIB alums themselves — stopped by to share that Perfect Match Season 3 was coming soon, and that they would be among the NRU stars participating in the competition this time around. But the sweet surprises didn’t stop there. 

They also revealed that they struck up a serious romance while in the Perfect Match villa and are now engaged. That’s right, while filming a promo for Perfect Match Season 3, Ollie got down on one knee on the beach — a gesture so grand it won them the NRU Superlative for “OMG Moment of the Year.” A short time later, in May, the two announced via Instagram that they’re also expecting their first child together. 

As AD and Ollie reach more relationship milestones, and as we witness glimpses of other members of the NRU universe pursuing their own perfect matches, maybe a little timeline can help you put all the pieces together for an even clearer picture of their love stories.

When was Perfect Match Season 3 filmed? 

Season 3 of Perfect Match was filmed in September 2024. Over the course of three weeks, 22 singles popped into the villa, coupled up, and competed to prove compatibility, all while looking for lasting love. That means about 11 months have passed since host Nick Lachey first welcomed them to the dating competition series with a rousing round of “Let’s Puck.” 

Where was Perfect Match Season 3 filmed? 

Nick Lachey may have immeditately turned up the heat for these singles upon their arrival, but temperatures were already quite high. The season was filmed in the tropical paradise of Tulum, Mexico. Set among a forest of palm trees, the Perfect Match villa features pools and patios perfect for parading around in swim trunks and bikinis. And the many nearby beaches situated nearby the Caribbean coast provide a romantic backdrop for relationship-defining dates — or relationship-wrecking ones.
