Are Lucy and Daniel From 'Perfect Match' Season 3 Still Together?
Lucy and Daniel are not still together after winning Perfect Match Season 3. Seriously, if you blinked, you probably missed the relationship. After clinching the win and a romantic trip prize, they broke up just weeks after filming ended. No, they didn’t even go on that all-expenses-paid vacation; post-show real life hit like an unfiltered group chat. Honestly, the finale’s title card delivered the news almost as bluntly as a “we need to talk” text. Below is an official Instagram post shared by danielperfetto_ recently in his account with Lucy, which shows they are maintaining their friendship:

From a fan perspective, it’s weirdly bittersweet. You root for a couple through all the compatibility challenges, “embarrassing” Truth or Dare moments, thigh-licking dares, and emotional mixers... then real-world logistics swoop in like the villain. Lucy even told Swoon Magazine that there’s no bad blood; they genuinely remain friends and still follow each other on Instagram. So, it’s amicable, just not swoon-worthy anymore.
One of the fan TES (@ITesleemah) shared on Twitter that Lucy and Daniel won Perfect Match, but expressed disappointment, noting they don’t seem like the best fit for each other.
Lucy and Daniel Relationship Timeline in Perfect Match Season 3
They hooked up instantly on day one, clicking harder than Netflix’s autoplay button. Both had their wandering eyes at first Lucy briefly vibed with Clayton, and Daniel flirted with Juliette. But from the second group compatibility challenge, they locked in and mostly stayed drama-free… well, for reality show standards.
Let’s run through their timeline:
-
Instant Connection: First episode, they gravitate toward each other. Daniel admits, “I forget who else is around me because I’m focused on Lucy.” Cue the montage music.
-
Ups, Downs, & Drama: Truth or Dare, the blindfolded kissing challenge (where Lucy boldly ranked Ollie’s kiss above Daniel’s yikes!), and the infamous “embarrassing” spat in front of other contestants.
-
Bondage Date, Apologies, Couch-Sleeping: After Daniel went off-script with a thigh-licking dare, Lucy made him sleep on the couch. A little accountability never hurt.
-
Final Compatibility Challenge: They nail the questions, edge out AD & Ollie, and scoop the win. Daniel says, “I want to be better for you,” all the right words in the finale’s glow.
-
Off-Camera Reality Sets In: After filming, they tried a trip to Cancun, but different lifestyles and time zones proved too much. Daniel reportedly struggled with Lucy’s work schedule, while Lucy realized jumping into a relationship post-show wasn’t going to cut it.
So, despite the open Instagram follows and friendly “it’s all good” interviews, the “perfect match” fizzled out after the credits rolled. If you’d placed your bet on them heading for real-world bliss, collect your chips and start rooting for next season’s hopefuls.
