In her announcement video, AD teased that the podcast will give listeners an inside look at “what really goes down in the group chat.” She added:
"This is a brand new podcast where we talk all things love, relationships, pop culture and get the tea on your favorite reality TV shows.”

AD’s journey from Love is Blind to podcast host
AD first gained recognition on Love is Blind season 6, where she got engaged to Clay Gravesande in the pods. However, their relationship ended at the altar when Clay said “I don’t.” The breakup became a major topic at the reunion, where AD expressed that she had no regrets about her experience on the show.
"I don't regret saying yes to him. My love is blind. There's nothing that he could've shown me, told me, that would've changed my answer," she shared.
When asked if she would give Clay another chance, she said during the reunion:
"You had your chance, there's nothing that I wouldn't have given you, there's nothing I wouldn't have done for you.”
Since her time on the show, AD has remained active in the reality TV space. She has been linked to Love is Blind UK star Ollie Sutherland, sparking dating rumors. Her new podcast provides an opportunity for her to continue discussing relationships and reality TV with other former contestants.
The first episode of What’s the Reality will be available for streaming on SiriusXM starting February 26, 2025. Fans can tune in weekly for new episodes featuring guest interviews, relationship discussions, and insights into the reality TV world.
Love is Blind season 8 episodes are currently streaming on Netflix.
