From navigating the pods to saying “I do,” Amber Desiree “AD” Smith and Ollie Sutherland have captured hearts with their journey on ‘Love Is Blind.’ Now, the newlywed couple is stepping into another exciting chapter, launching their very first podcast together, aptly titled ‘What’s the Reality?’ And their debut episode dives deep into a topic close to their hearts: impending parenthood.
A Glimpse into Their Growing Family
In an exclusive chat with PEOPLE, AD and Ollie shared their heartfelt reflections on becoming parents. Ollie opened up about how his perspective on fatherhood is constantly evolving as they prepare to welcome their daughter. He described the deepening emotions with each stage of the pregnancy, looking forward to building a strong, supportive bond with his little girl.
“Each day and each stage has made me more excited for different things and made me view fatherhood differently,” Sutherland shared. He expressed his eagerness to provide the kind of unwavering love and protection he cherishes with his nieces and nephews, but now as a primary figure in his own child’s life.
Excitement Mixed with Protective Instincts
AD echoed these sentiments, sharing her own mix of excitement and the natural anxieties that come with protecting a child. She admitted to a powerful maternal instinct, even wishing she could shield her daughter in a protective bubble. However, she also expressed immense confidence in their ability to be loving and protective parents together.
“I just want to put her in a bubble and just keep her safe, but I know I’m not going to be able to do that,” Smith told People. “And I know that she’s going to have such a great dad to protect her [and a] great mom to protect her.”
From Reality TV to Real Life
Fans have been invested in AD and Ollie’s relationship since it blossomed on Netflix’s ‘Perfect Match’ and culminated in their engagement reveal on ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 8. Their journey has transitioned beautifully from a televised romance to a real-life partnership, marked by marriage, an upcoming baby, and now, a podcast platform to connect directly with their supporters.
This new podcast venture signifies the start of their next chapter as a family, offering fans an intimate look into their lives. It’s a testament to their strong bond and shared vision for the future.
