90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days personality, Ben Rathbun, died Monday morning at his home in Greencastle, Indiana, where his family surrounded him, according to a family source.
RIP Ben:
TMZ reported, “Ben had stage 4 stomach cancer. He’s had been battling the disease since the end of last year, when he was diagnosed.”
Instagram creator, @shabootydotcom added, “I know this is a difficult time for his family and for Mahogany (who was still with him through these 💔ing times). Sending love and prayers. 🙏.”
How we met Ben:
Ben’s story was featured on season 5 of Before The 90 Days … and it was an interesting one. At the time, Ben was a 52-year-old father of 4 who met his 22-year-old girlfriend, Mahogany Roca, online.
While many felt Mahogany, who was from South America, was catfishing Ben. But, that turned out not to be the case when they met in real life. Mahogany and Ben’s love was the real deal.
