Ben Rathbun might be in his 50s, but the 90 Day Fiancé franchise cast member is in the best shape of his life. The former youth pastor appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5, where he pursued a significantly younger Panamanian woman, Mahogany Roca. While Ben was blasted by 90 Day Fiancé fans for his creepy behavior towards Mahogany, he has gotten credit for staying in shape.
Ben entered Before the 90 Days season 5 late in the season, but quickly became one of the most discussed cast members. After leaving his wife following decades of marriage, Ben decided to reinvent himself, and seek love online. This led to him getting ripped in the gym, and looking for a younger romantic partner. Ben was catfished by a woman before falling head over heels for Mahogany. While viewers were convinced that Mahogany was also a catfish, she ended up being a real person who had mixed feelings about Ben.
Many 90 Day Fiancé cast members have undergone fitness transformations that see them losing weight or gaining muscle. Ben falls into the latter category, as he has always been slim. However, throwback photos reveal that his muscular frame is the product of hard work, rather than genetics. Ben regularly hits the gym to build muscles, and keeps his body fat percentage extremely low. Overall, he has transformed his appearance, thanks to his dedication to the gym.

Ben grew up attending a very strict church, and served as a youth pastor during his marriage to his ex-wife. Old photos of the American show him looking considerably thinner. Some 90 Day Fiancé fans even noted that Ben appeared older in the past, before he started working out and building muscle. While Ben has been criticized heavily for using God as an excuse to date someone thirty years younger, his fitness transformation has nonetheless impressed viewers.
