90 Day Fiancé’s Ben Rathbun’s Relationship Status With Mahogany Roca Revealed Amid Cancer Diagnosis
Mahogany Roca’s shocking relationship status with 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star Ben Rathbun has been confirmed after it was revealed that he has cancer. Ben was introduced as the 52-year-old father of four who had fallen for a 22-year-old Peruvian student, Mahogany. Ben didn’t mind that Mahogany used several filters on her photos and refused to meet him. Things have changed in 2024 with Ben making headlines for getting arrested and charged with embezzlement of $1,000-$20,000 from his former workplace and failing to pay child support.
Ben was arrested in November 2024, and the released mugshot showed Ben looking frail and unkempt.
90 Day Fiancé blogger Shabooty recently revealed that Ben had been diagnosed with cancer. They shared the “saddening news” that Ben has stage 4 cancer. Ben is also “too weak” for chemotherapy. Ben’s family has been gathering to see him. The source mentioned that Mahogany is by Ben’s side. She is in the U.S. with Ben and seems to be living with his family in Michigan. They added that Ben has been reaching out to people to make amends. Instagram user helloeriin asked, “Wait, I thought he was in jail?”
The blogger added, “ no he is in a hospital.”
90 Day Fiancé fans also seemed to be confused about when Ben was arrested and when he was admitted. The source continued that Ben was arrested on November 25, 2024, but not when Ben went to the hospital after his release. A curious fan wanted to know if Ben was still married to Mahogany. Shabooty replied, “Yes.”
Ben claimed it was because she was shy and didn’t want to be in front of the camera. Shockingly, Mahogany got engaged to Ben once the show was over. Ben surprised fans with his franchise comeback on 90 Day Diaries in January 2023, where he revealed he and Mahogany were married. Still, Mahogany didn’t fully trust Ben. Them still being together and Mahogany staying by Ben’s side amid his tough times and not leaving him shows that she truly cares about it. Mahogany may have moved to the U.S. for good now and his family seems to have accepted her.
Our Take On Ben & Mahogany’s Future In The Franchise
It’s not known if the franchise will acknowledge Ben and Mahogany’s story after what has happened. The couple is also missing from social media and there had been no new update about them until the news of the 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star’s arrest. Fans are sending prayers to Ben, Mahogany, and their loved ones. While Ben isn’t a loved cast member, fans want him to fight cancer and get better soon.
