"Before the 90 Days" Season 5 cast members Ben and Mahogany are engaged!
The recent announcement has left many 90 day fiancé fans muy confuso.
After all, the couple’s journey on their season was not your typical romance story.
Before 90 day fiancé Ben had a brief online connection with Peruvian beauty Mahogany.
Despite his friends doubting whether Mahogany was even a real person,
the former youth pastor took the leap of faith and traveled to her country to get to know her.
Alas, the young lady didn’t show up to meet him at the airport, citing her father having doubts.
Ben spent the first part of his trip trying to get a hold of Mahogany and set up a meeting.
Finally, she agreed to have a conversation with him at La Milonga restaurant in San Bartolo.
After hours of waiting of Ben waiting on her, Mahogany finally showed up and Ben professed his love to her.
But she didn’t reciprocate.
They kept in touch after the first meeting, and soon Ben found out that Mahogany has kept a lot of things secret,
like her age being 22 and not 24.
She also lived in what seemed to be an AirBnB, which Mahogany still claims it wasn’t.
Mahogany in turn really didn’t like Ben blaming his ex-wife for their breakup.
At first the couple seemed to get along, and they even shared a romantic kiss
But ultimately the couple had a lot of tensions during the trip
which culminated in a major disagreement, with Mahogany escaping from Ben.
Fans expected the couple would stop communicating, but surprisingly,
Ben revealed at the Tell All that he visited Mahogany again and they are now an item.
After the Tell All Ben and Mahogany were spotted in Peru earlier this year
Shortly after that trip, Ben was arrеsted for a probаtion viоlation stemming from his 2020 DUI.
Ben explained he got his DUI because a homeless couple spiked his drink
After the bench warrant was issued due to Ben skipping his prоbation hearing,
he surrendered himself and spent 2 days in prisоn.
for the violation he received 15 days of community service and a prolonged prоbation
Court records indicate that Ben will be off of probation on January 25, 2023.
After the arrеst Ben was let go from his position in Michigan Lupus foundation.
As a silver lining, in the meantime his romance with Mahogany blossomed.
Despite a thirty-year age difference,
the couple's relationship is going strong, which is a huge surprise to those who followed their journey on TV.
Ben explained that Mahogany simply needed more time and less pressure
Ben and Mahogany were spotted together in Peru at the end of July this year.
According to the person who posted this to Reddit
they were being filmed by a film crew
This sparked rumors that the couple will be coming back for another season of 90 day fiance.
On August 9th Ben posted a lovely video to YouTube
where he showed him choosing the engagement ring and announcing the engagement.
Ben’s proposal took place at the very same restaurant where the couple fatefully met.
According to Ben, Mahogany’s father gave him his blessing to marry his daughter.
Despite the couple being spotted filming,
the online engagement announcement could not have been approved by TLC
if they were to appear on a new season.
After all, that would have been a huge spoiler.
Therefore, it's unlikely that we will see this couple on another season
Furthermore, when a fan commented,
“Of course they’re engaged! How else can they continue to be on the show?”
Ben replied to that, “We are off social media (except 3 vids on YouTube) and are not filming for 90 Day.
It’s been almost a year now, and we are just living our lives."
Are you surprised that Ben and Mahogany are engaged to be married?
