Yara Zaya has recently confessed that she finds the new 90 Day Fiancé star Ben Rathbun attractive, and her statement has left many viewers confused. TLC viewers may know Ben from 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5, where he is pursuing a relationship with 22-year-old Mahogany Roca. In the last few episodes, fans have seen the duo go from a plausible couple to suspicious human beings due to their lies. The first most notable piece of deception was Mahogany's pictures and her refusal to video chat with Ben, which made many 90 Day Fiancé viewers believe she wasn't real.
Later, things like Mahogany's real age and Ben's creepy words played a big role in making them rightfully distrustful. While the idea of sharing a kiss is usually sweet and romantic, the one between Ben and Mahogany grossed viewers out. Fans noticed how the lack of chemistry between them made their special moment feel lackluster. Besides, some felt uneasy seeing a much older man like Ben lock lips with a much younger woman.
Ben may have disgusted many viewers, but his 90 Day Fiancé co-star Yara finds him sexy. During 90 Day Fiancé: Pillow Talk, she told her husband, Jovi Dufren, Ben could have been a perfect sugar daddy if he had money. Her comment has since confused many 90 Day Fiancé fans. A Redditor wrote (via pythonprogram1), "Ben is NOT unattractive. His personality is s**t, he's a creep and that eye is in another world." Another Redditor chimed in, "I mean, presumably she thinks Jovi is good looking, so...context." Someone else agreed with Yara and commented, "Ben is a creep so that definitely obstructs my view about him BUT I can't lie, for a 53 year old cyclops, he's got a decent face and body."
While many 90 Day Fiancé viewers reluctantly agree that Ben is attractive, others think that he is creepy, especially after learning about his criminal past. Franchise fanatics may know that the Michigan native was recently arrested. According to TMZ, his "OUI and suspended license arrest was back in 2020." He got 18 months of probation; however, he failed to appear for his hearing. Ben's lack of appearance caused the Judge to issue a bench warrant, which ultimately resulted in his arrest.
Nonetheless, Ben seems to be in great shape for his age, which is a must for his career as a model. He certainly works hard to maintain his physique. Fans should not blame Yara for calling him "sexy" since for his age, Ben is decent-looking. Everyone has their own taste, and maybe Yara is into older men. Although, it was a little odd for 90 Day Fiancé fans to hear her call another man attractive right in front of her husband.
