90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days star Ben Rathbun has been the talk of the season since his first appearance. After the 52-year-old described his romance with 24-year-old Mahogany Roca, fans began to question the validity of their relationship.
The divorced father of four spent the bulk of the season anticipating his trip to Peru to meet Mahogany for the first time. Despite his family’s disapproval, and Mahogany herself telling him not to travel, he insisted on meeting her and attempting to build a life together.
After an awkward first encounter where Mahogany says she felt that Ben didn’t look like his pictures, the future of their relationship seemed uncertain. However, new pictures may put speculations about their relationship to rest once and for all.
Ben and Mahogany are spotted out together
A 90 Day Fiance fan page on Instagram, @truecrime_jankie, recently posted some new pictures featuring Ben and Mahogany. The two were seen walking around a shopping center in Lima attempting to blend in with the crowd.
At one point in the series of photos, the two are shown walking while hugging one another. The public display of affection leads fans to question if the two are truly still together in this relationship or if it’s just a stunt by the production crew.
The photos may come as a shock to many fans since Mahogany appeared to be unsure about her relationship with Ben. She also mentioned her family is concerned about her being involved with a much older man.
