Perfect Match season 3: Which couples are still together?
The Netflix reality show brings together a bunch of singles from a variety of different reality shows. Usually it's just Netflix originals, but this year they've invited cast members from Love Island, The Bachelor and other shows too.
In each episode the cast must chose who to match up with and the following day they compete in a challenge. The winning couple from the challenge then gets to head to the boardroom where they can send themselves or their fellow cast members on dates with newbies. And then when everyone is back in the villa after various dates they must then choose who to match up with that evening.
It leads to a lot of couple swapping and the dumping of many contestants. However, throughout the show there's been some strong couples, and right now as of the first six episodes airing there's five couples. So who is in a couple right now? And which matches are still together IRL? Here's what you need to know.
Relationship status: Still together
Ok so technically at the end of episode six Olly is in a match with Justine, however, we already know that Olly and AD are now engaged and expecting a baby together.
The pair shocked the reality TV world, when back in March earlier this year the couple announced they were engaged, as we had no idea at the time they were even dating. However, it was shortly announced later that they appeared on Perfect Match together.
At the start of the series they instantly connected and were all over each other. However, after building a strong connection, the beginning of episode six shocked viewers when Nick Lachey turned up.
He revealed Daniel and Lucy had been given the task of who to send home and it was decided that AD and Freddie should leave.
AD and Olly both seemed extremely cut up by the decision, but it lead to Olly going on a date with two women - Justine and Olivia. He ended up rematching with Justine. However, given we know he and AD are now engaged and expecting a baby, we reckon she'll return to the house at some point.
Relationship status: Still together (we think)
Lucy and Daniel have been together from day dot. However, it hasn't always been smooth sailing. They've had some high highs including a very spicy bondage date, but they've also had some low lows. At one point during the season Daniel called Lucy "embarrassing" which naturally caused her to get upset and doubt their connection.
Despite this however, the pair chose to match again at the end of episode six with Daniel apologising. Lucy acknowledged that while it was a painful moment she didn't want to throw their connection away after one argument.
Relationship status: Still together (we think)
Who would have thought Too Hot To Handle's Louis would be in one couple for the whole show? As of the end of episode six he's been with The Ultimatum's Sandy for their entire time in the house.
They matched on Day One and have continued building a strong connection. There's been some bumps in the road, including one of Louis' other interests Alex saying she would be up for a threesome, which Sandy was not down for.
And in episode six the pair had one of their most dramatic moments when Louis called Sandy out for getting to know one of the other guys. They ended the episode matching but not on great terms. Louis then apologised to Sandy when they were in bed together and so now they seem to be on a better track.
Relationship status: Still together (we think)
Would it be a dating show without Love Island's Scott? No of course not. The Islander entered the house after being chosen for Rachel to go on a date with. It's still pretty early days for these two but they seem to have a good connection and chemistry, and neither seem interested in getting to know anyone else. Could we see Scott end a show in a couple?
Relationship status: Still together (we think)
Madison and Jalen are the newest couple to make a match. They got together after Madison's previous match Freddie was chosen to leave the house after Lucy and Daniel had to send someone on a date and that meant their current match had to leave.
Madison was devastated when Freddie left but has been getting on pretty well with Jalen so far, so maybe he is a better match for her?

Sofia Carson Writes Her Own Hollywood Story
It's already her third movie in less than a year, but Sofia Carson is just as enthusiastic as ever. 'It's going on 10 years of me doing this, which is unbelievable,' Carson says, from the lobby of the New York Edition Hotel. 'And it always feels like the very first time in the best way. I always feel so genuinely excited and grateful, and I feel butterflies anytime I get to see my work on Times Square. It's all so surreal.' More from WWD Luciane Buchanan Brings Hawaiian History to Life in Apple TV+'s 'Chief of War' Logan Lerman on 'Oh, Hi,' Complex Characters, and Chasing Fresh Challenges The Costumes of 'The Gilded Age' Are a Part of Real Life History The 32-year-old broke out in the 2015 Disney Channel movie musical 'Descendants,' before going on to star in a series of movies for Netflix, including 'Feel the Beat,' 'Purple Hearts,' 'Carry On,' 'The Life Life,' and, out Friday, 'My Oxford Year.' She's also been a producer on several of those, positioning her as a new kind of breakout movie star (with a loyal fanbase — over 20 million followers on Instagram — following closely along). 'My mom refers to these moments in my career as catching lightning in a bottle,' Carson says. ''Descendants' was that first. And then 'Purple Hearts' was the second time that that happened. 'Purple Hearts' changed my life yet again. And because I produced 'Purple Hearts' and wrote the soundtrack for that, I think executives in the business saw me through a very different lens, not only as an actor and storyteller, but as a filmmaker and a decision maker, which as a woman in the industry, is a really privileged and exciting place to be in,' Carson says. 'And I don't take that for granted, and it's still surreal to me, but my opinion is respected in that way. So it's been a really beautiful few years, a very validating few years.' After 'Purple Hearts,' which tells the story of a struggling musician who marries a soldier for health insurance, became an overnight sensation for Netflix when it was released in 2022, Carson found herself in demand for meetings. In that time she met with Marty Bowen of Temple Hill, the producer behind the 'Twilight' movies and 'The Fault in Our Stars,' who presented her with the script for 'My Oxford Year.' 'It's just so beautiful and so powerful, and it also felt like a classic, and that's something I've always gravitated towards in my career,' she says of the movie. 'I loved the idea of being able to bring to life a classic love story.' 'My Oxford Year' sees Carson as an ambitious American grad student, Anna, who travels to Oxford University for a year-long program, where she meets a charming teaching assistant named Jamie (Corey Mylchreest), who has more to his story than he initially lets on. 'This is probably the truest love story that I've told,' Carson says. 'I was very drawn to Anna's character. She lives life in her understanding of living deliberately, which is planning every second of life, which is very much how I've lived my life. In falling in love with Jamie and losing him, I think she learns one of the greatest lessons that any of us can learn. And that is that life is lived in moments and that all we have is a succession of moments, and living deliberately doesn't mean planning every moment, but living them and living in the messiness of them. And it felt like such a necessary reminder for me and for anyone that watches this film.' Carson's ability to produce a hitmaker became clear to Netflix after her second film for them, last year's 'Carry On,' became their second most-watched film of all time. 'I think that's when it really clicked for everyone, that we have something special going on here. This partnership is really resonating with people in a really unbelievable way,' Carson says. As for where she goes from here? 'It has been an interesting few months navigating the question of what is next and personally navigating the pressures that I feel,' Carson says. 'Of course, it's an extraordinarily beautiful place to be in, to come off of so many successes, but it definitely puts a certain amount of pressure on me. But it's that reminder of not ever changing what my decision-making factor is, which is 'this project aligned with who I am? Am I proud of the art that I'm making?' And if the answer is 'yes,' then that's what I want to put out into the world.' In that vein, she's been back working on music, her first love, and is in development on multiple upcoming projects both as an actor and a producer. 'I was very lucky in that I don't remember a moment in my life when I didn't know that I wanted to do this for the rest of my life,' Carson says. 'It started with music and storytelling through music, but in my mind [acting and music] are so deeply connected because when you see videos of me when I was 3 and I was singing 'Evita,' I was performing that song and I was telling that story. So it just always was who I was rather than what I did.'

‘Leanne' review: From stand-up comedian to awkward sitcom star
The multi-camera sitcom has been on its last legs, which is too bad because it can be such an uproarious format when it prioritizes jokes over the kind of comedy that tends to predominate on streaming: Pleasant enough — fun, even — but straight-up laughs aren't their reason for being. Television is cyclical, and maybe the fizzy possibilities inherent in sitcoms will eventually make their way back onto our screens. Alas, 'Leanne' on Netflix will not be leading the charge. Stand-up comedian Leanne Morgan stars as the mother of two grown children in Knoxville, Tennessee, who is suddenly informed that her husband of 33 years is leaving her for another woman. That setup, coupled with the Southern twang of the cast, may bring to mind 'Reba,' another eponymous show with a similar premise that premiered more than 20 years ago and ran for six seasons, starring Reba McEntire as a spitfire making do with her new circumstances. But the energy here is vastly different, with Morgan's genteel suburbanite hazily floating through this next chapter in her life. Co-created by Morgan and sitcom veterans Chuck Lorre and Susan McMartin ('Mom'), the series also stars 'Mom' alum Kristen Johnston as Leanne's kinda-sorta bawdy sister (she's too tame to really pop as a subversive presence), Celia Weston and Blake Clark as their aging parents, and Ryan Stiles ('Whose Line Is It Anyway?') as Leanne's ex. I wish 'Mom' were more instructive as a test case, because it also started off unevenly but eventually found its groove. The push-pull, codependent relationship between a mother and daughter, both of whom were in addiction recovery and struggling financially, gave the show its spark, as did the friend group of fellow recovering addicts, who deepened the bench of characters. 'Leanne' feels somewhat claustrophobic by comparison, and isn't populated with anyone who feels especially defined or even interesting. It's just Leanne and her sister as gal pals who mostly get along bouncing off themselves, their needy parents and Leanne's forgettably superfluous children. Most comedies built around a comedian's stand-up act draw directly from their lives. But it's worth noting that the real Leanne is very much not divorced from her longtime husband; in fact, her gentle barbs about their personality differences make up the bulk of her material. Morgan is also not an actor by training, so it makes no sense that the show didn't adapt more of her stage persona here, and instead asks her to play something unfamiliar: That tricky sad-funny middle ground of a woman whose marriage has imploded. There's a deliberate pace to the show — and to the dialogue itself — that results in punchlines just laying there. It's weird, because there's an unhurried pace to Morgan's Netflix stand-up special as well ('I'm Every Woman'), but in it she has some bite and her leisurely cadence is undercut by the sharp comedy of her material, whereas this version of Leanne is oddly bland and lacking a point of view. Exactly one joke lands. Looking at a miserable Leanne, her sister offers to share some of her pill stash: 'I got Xanax, Ativan, Ambien, I think this might be a laxative …' Leanne grabs the last one: 'I'll always take a laxative.' There's a certain amount of violence that's played for laughs, but the show seems uncertain where the humor actually lies in these moments. One episode ends with Leanne decking her husband across the jaw. In another, she finds him in the bathroom they once shared, making himself at home, and in response she grabs a shotgun, marches back in and blows a hole through the ceiling to disabuse him of this notion. If she were really trying to stifle deep rage under a polite, decorous exterior, and that was a running theme in the show — of a woman's worst impulses taking over as she's finally driven off the deep end — that would be so dark, it might come around the other side and be funny as well. But that's not the kind of sitcom this is. Leanne lives in a spacious, well-appointed suburban-style home that apparently goes uncontested in the divorce. In fact, money barely comes up at all. Rarely does divorce not affect either party's finances, but also because Morgan acknowledges the realities of money in her stand-up act. It's clearly on her mind. Spotting an array of attractive men in the front row of her special: 'Look at y'all in these half-zip golf pullovers — hello, that says 'health insurance' to me. Alright, y'all make me think of my husband, lemme tell you about him, 'cause he's got a 401(k).' (Even her grown son in real life — who loves nature so much he raised a baby beaver in his college dorm room, a story she tells in her stand-up — sounds a lot more interesting than the character on the show, whose only trait appears to be 'henpecked husband.') Now in middle age, Leanne's life as she's known it (the sitcom version, at least) has been turned upside down. Except it hasn't. She's in the same sprawling house. She doesn't seem worried about money. She didn't have much filling her days even before the divorce apparently — she has no professional life nor a social life outside of her sister (who doesn't seem to need to work, either). Leanne's existence is like science fiction — resembling something human but in a contextless bubble that has no connection to anything outside the walls of her home. 'You have a blessed Sunday,' she says at one point, and it's the kind of Southern putdown that's in the same neighborhood as 'Bless your heart.' May 'Leanne' have a blessed run. And may Morgan have another shot at a TV role better suited to her talents. ——— 'LEANNE' 2 stars (out of 4) Rating: TV-14 How to watch: Netflix ——— Solve the daily Crossword
