Today we will be talking about Mike and Ximena’s current relationship status.
We will also talk about the new couple, Ben and Mahogany, and whether Ben is being catfished.
90 Day Fiance’ Mike and Ximena seem to be worlds apart.
34-year-old Mike from New York State seems to be one of the nicest people on the franchise,
though he was struggling finding love in his hometown
and had never been in a serious relationship until he decided to search for love in Colombia.
24-year-old Ximena from Pereira, Colombia is a single mom to two children.
Her first child, 9-year-old Juan David was born from a one-night stand when she was a teenager.
Her second son, Harold Steven, is 3 years old
He was cоnceived during Ximena's second visit to a prison, where his dad is still incаrcerated.
Ximena admittedly was always attracted to “bad boys” or “strong male characters”,
who are nothing like collected and romantic Mike.
But the Colombian native decided to put her children’s well-being first,
and Mike happened to be a good match,
in terms of providing for the family.
During her introduction, Ximena said that Mike is paying her rent, and has completely furnished her apartment.
Apart from their differences, there’s the secret Ximena kept from Mike.
He was hoping to have children of his own one day,
and he talked about it with Ximena many times
Then, after he traveled to Colombia to meet Ximena and her family for the first time,
she revealed that she had a procedure done after her previous pregnancy
that prevents her from getting pregnant again.
It looks like Mike and Ximena are still together
Moreover, there are certain hints, that Mike proposed to Ximena
However, it appears that he proposed remotely and not while he was in Colombia
Starcasm has reported that Mike and Ximena are possibly engaged due to some clues on Ximena’s social media.
The evidence comes from Ximena’s TikTok.
She shared a video in January of 2021 that appears to show screen caps of Mike presenting her a ring during a video call.
She added the message which roughly translates to: “I love you my life thanks for so much happiness.”
One of the photos includes the caption: “This is a surprise.”
In addition to the photos of Mike with a ring box, the photo montage also includes a series of images of wedding dresses.
The words “marry me” are added to one of the pictures.
Nine days later, Ximena posted photos of herself trying on a wedding dress at a shop!
Another indication that Mike and Ximena are engaged is the fact
that she has shared numerous videos in which she can be seen wearing a ring on her left ring finger.
As to whether Ximena and Mike are still together, while the couple is obligated to keep this a secret,
there are certain hints that the couple is still going strong.
For example, Mike admitted he still talks to Ximena and they learn each other’s mother tongues from each other.
Mike speaks highly of Ximena on social media and denies that she had been using him.
Mike also has an “in love” emoji next to Ximena’s handle on his Instagram bio.
When someone asked Mike in a Q&A if he and Ximena are still together, he replied:
“I cannot comment but I’ll Say two words when I have nothing to say… Te Amo”
Speaking of having children, Mike said that this is a topic Ximena and him need to handle privately.
He also said that nowadays there are different options of having a child, such as adoption or surrogacy.
Fans also suspect that Mike is still supporting Ximena’s lifestyle.
They are wondering if Mike bought her a car she recently flaunted on social media.
Additionally, it appears that after the filming Ximena had plastic surgeries done.
Judging by her social media posts she had a breast enlargement surgery, a lipo and possibly a BBL.
She was seen wearing a compression suit and showing off her transformation.
It is unclear though whether it was Mike who paid for the surgeries.
In a Q&A on Instagram Mike said that we he would not comment
as to whether he is still financially supporting Ximena and her family.
Next on, we will be talking about Ben and Mahogany
Ben is a new face on this season, having first appeared on episode six.
The 52-year-old Michigan Native was hoping to travel to Peru to meet the girl he met online.
Ben describes himself as a religious person. He’s a pastor and had previously been in a religious cult.
Following leaving the cult with his now-ex-wife, the couple decided to go their separate ways,
Since his divorce Ben had difficulties navigating the dating world.
Ben revealed that he had met the Peruvian beauty Mahogany online
roughly 3 months before the filming of his segments that started in June 2021.
Ben admitted to have been previously catfished online.
But this time, he believes that Mahogany is real.
Despite this, he shared he only spoke to her on the phone twice and had never video chatted with her.
Mahogany does have a profile on Instagram.
Interestingly, she and Ben don’t follow each other on social media.
Mahogany’s profile features exclusively heavily filtered photos.
Mahogany also has a Facebook profile, where she stated she is studying law to become a lawyer.
In the comments somebody asked her if she was real and why did she go on 90 day fiance. Mahogany replied:
"I agreed to be on 90 day fiance to share a dramatic story to watch.
Keep looking and you will be surprised! but I clarify to be real and a young woman of 22 years."
Interestingly, Ben believed that Mahogany was 24 when he filmed for the show
That means she was actually 21 at the time when Ben was filmed.
The Internet users were able to find the real photos of Mahogany.
It appears that the Peruvian native is a beautiful young lady, who looks nothing alike her online photos though.
She also appears in a video clip from the Facebook profile of her Church.
In a preview for this season, we saw Ben arriving to Peru and Mahogany apparently standing him up.
However, Mahogany did appear in press materials from TLC for this season,
indicating we may anticipate to see her.
Mahogany herself has confirmed on social media that she will explain on the show why she didn’t video chat with Ben
and asked the viewers not to judge her yet.
According to a 90 day fiance blogger @90daydaily
Ben was first seen interacting with Mahogany's photos on February 8th, 2021
According to the blogger the last time we saw Ben interacting with Mahogany's profile was on June 28th, 2021
Interestingly, on Facebook Mahogany’s relationship status is set to single
