Ben Rathbun and Mahogany Roca have gotten a lot of backlash throughout their time on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, but some of the couple's characteristics hint that they might actually be a perfect match. Ben is 52 years old, divorced, and has three children. Mahogany is a 22-year-old Peruvian woman who has a lot of unanswered questions revolving her past and the sincerity of her feelings toward this relationship. Generally speaking, Ben and Mahogany's faith is really the only things they have in common, but they keep finding their way to each other.
At first, Ben - and many viewers - were suspicious that 90 Day Fiancé star Mahogany was a catfish. Alas, things grew even more awkward after they met for the first time. After standing him up and refusing to video chat, Mahogany finally showed up, but she didn’t look like the selfies she had sent Ben. There’s also a lot of mystery surrounding her apartment, which has caused viewers to believe it is actually a rental. Not to mention, Mahogany also lied about her age. With that said, Ben also has quite a few pitfalls himself. Altogether, their weaknesses might be what makes them a perfect couple.
Despite their 30-year age gap, Ben and Mahogany are both immature. After a fight with Mahogany, Ben stood her up for breakfast with her parents. Mahogany was disappointed and embarrassed, to say the least. On the other hand, Mahogany behaved similarly on Before The 90 Days just a couple of episodes later. When Ben arrived at her hotel room to patch up their relationship, Mahogany was gone. She ghosted him the night before and went home without any warning.
Additionally, these two have an issue with confrontation and are reluctant to admit or acknowledge their own wrongdoings. When Ben attempted to get answers about the discrepancies in Mahogany’s stories, she twisted it around on him, pointing out his own lies. While it’s important to acknowledge that honesty is a two-way street, she’s still reluctant to admit to her own lies. Alas, so is Ben. When times get tough, they both like to run from their problems instead of sorting out their differences.
Even though Mahogany and Ben are quick to point their fingers at each other, they keep reconvening for more. While most people say opposites attract, perhaps being two peas in a pod makes this relationship thrive. On the other hand, their lack of mutual interests, large age gap, and constant turmoil have many viewers believing that this turbulent duo won’t last much longer. Overall, fans are impatiently waiting to see if this duo will appear on the 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days Tell-All as an official couple.
