After the fallout, Amber and Matthew left the show, while AD chose to pursue something real with Clay Gravesande. Despite their own hurdles, Clay and AD ended up becoming engaged.

“I did have a chance to chat with Matthew,” AD adds. “He has a unique way of expressing himself. I let him share his thoughts, we had our talk, and then we moved forward.”

In the first episode of the show, Matthew shared with AD during their pod date that he planned to ask her father for his blessing before proposing. He reassured her that he would do anything she wanted, even if it meant leaving the show together. AD was touched by his sincerity and felt that Matthew was a rare and special person.

However, things took a turn when another contestant, Amber, revealed to AD that she had a similar conversation with Matthew about leaving the show together if he couldn’t get her father’s blessing. AD was shocked and upset to learn that Matthew had said the same things to both of them.

Feeling betrayed, AD confided in her friend Alejandra about the situation and questioned Matthew’s motives. She was hurt that he had shared such personal and intimate details with both her and Amber, causing her to doubt his sincerity.

As per Netflix’s show, when AD brought up the similar conversations with Matthew, she told him, “I felt so confident and secure after our conversations, but hearing what you said really messed with my head. Your words to me were exactly what you said to her.” Matthew denied this, saying, “That’s not true. I shared more meaningful things with you.” He also reassured AD that if he had to choose that day, he would have picked her.

Later, Amber and AD had a heart-to-heart in the women’s area and discovered that Matthew had indeed told them both the same things within a short time frame. After letting out their emotions and embracing each other, Amber decided it was time for her to step back and exit the show.
