Clay and AD are 'Love Is Blind' season 6's most polarizing couple. But did they stay together?

• Amber Desiree "AD" connects with Clay and Matthew, and ultimately accepts a proposal from Clay.
• Their relationship is affected by Clay's hangups about physical appearance and fidelity.
• Ahead of the finale, it's unclear whether they'll say "I do" at the altar.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for the first 11 episodes of "Love Is Blind" season six.

Amber Desiree "AD" Smith falls for Clay Gravesande in the "Love Is Blind" pods on season six, fully aware that he's a work in progress.

While AD initially struggles to choose between Clay and another contestant, Matthew Duliba, her falling out with Matthew and her obvious chemistry with smooth-talker Clay lead her to accept Clay's proposal.

Clay and AD are one of the few couples on pretty good footing throughout the couples' getaway trip in the Dominican Republic, barring one extremely WTF moment where Clay tells AD he won't let her ever get out of shape and would insist she go to the gym with him even when she's pregnant.

But that was only the beginning of the "Love Is Blind" process. More cracks begin to show in their relationship when they head back to Charlotte and AD and Clay have several confrontations that make their deep-seated issues abundantly clear.

At the end of episode seven, when Clay is showing AD his house, the two have a serious conversation about Clay's hang-ups over fidelity. He tells her that his dad used to take him on "infidelity trips" where he'd cheat on Clay's mom and that he's never seen a Black man be faithful in a relationship, leading him to wonder whether it's possible for him to only be with one woman forever.

Then, when AD meets Clay's mom and sister in episode nine, AD's dissatisfaction with Clay's hectic work schedule also becomes an issue. Clay's mom (the season's real MVP, to be honest) mediates the conflict, and things seem to be settled for the moment. But AD's issues with how Clay prioritizes his free time aren't exactly resolved.

Clay meets AD's mom in episode 10, released Wednesday, and it goes surprisingly well. AD makes it clear to her mom that she knows Clay has some hang-ups. But her mom clearly loves Clay, encouraging AD to hang in there and not let their parents' broken marriages influence their relationship.

"That's a man. And he's just a little bit scared of how to move forward," AD's mom tells her.

By the end of the episode, it's a toss-up whether Clay and AD will say "I do" at the altar and stay together for the long haul. Here's what we could deduce about their relationship status post-show.

Are AD and Clay from 'Love Is Blind' still together after the show?

Clay and AD have both played coy when asked about their relationship status in recent interviews. "I would say you would have to wait and see," AD told Entertainment Tonight, while Clay just told the publication "TBD."

AD also told Us Weekly in an interview that she knows Clay was a "walking red flag," which isn't exactly a great sign.

Of course, "Love Is Blind" contestants aren't allowed to spoil their seasons by being open about their relationship status while episodes are airing. But we did a little digging, and there are some indications that these two may have made things work, despite all the odds.

AD and Clay are following each other on Instagram and on TikTok, so it seems like they're on good terms at the very least. Clay liked AD's post announcing she'd be appearing on "Love Is Blind," and has consistently liked most of her posts dating back to one from May 2023.

AD also liked Clay's announcement post about being on the show and has liked a few of his posts dating back to one from April 2023. She also liked a photo of Clay with their "Love Is Blind" costars Trevor Sova and Johnny McIntyre.

Even more tellingly, Clay commented some fire emojis on AD's post about her birthday weekend in November 2023.

It's unclear when season six was filmed, but it was likely sometime in early or mid-2023, since season five was reportedly filmed in early 2022. If that's the case, Clay's comment would seem to indicate they stayed together after filming wrapped — at least until November.

Most promisingly, Clay and AD had a sweet Instagram interaction on his post a day after the latest episodes dropped.

"Turn me up @amberdesiree ????," Clay captioned a series of photos and a video of them from filming.

"Turn me up Clay ????," AD commented.

These two Instagram interactions are the strongest evidence that these two stayed together after filming. Either that, or they're simply the chillest exes ever.

But does that mean the two actually make it down the aisle and say "I do" in the finale? Unfortunately, North Carolina marriage records aren't publicly available the way Texas' records were for creeping on the season five couples, so there's no way to tell whether Clay and AD got to the marriage license stage of the experiment. We'll have to tune in to see how it all ends.

The "Love Is Blind" season six finale hits Netflix on March 5, and the reunion premieres March 13 at 9 p.m. ET.
