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.”

What Ben & Mahogany Being Together Amid His Cancer Reveal Means
Mahogany Really Cares About Ben
When Mahogany was on Before the 90 Days she ghosted him twice when he went to Peru for the first time. She didn’t show up at the hospital, and she didn’t agree to meet him later. Ben creepily showed up in her hometown of San Bartolo, Mahogany showed up but was cold and distant and refused to kiss him. Mahogany had given Ben her wrong address. She agreed to go to Huacachina with Ben but left the hotel the next day without informing him. Mahogany always wanted to get away from Ben.
