90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days Season 5 couple Ben and Mahogany
TLC
Ben is a 52-year-old from Fraser, MI, and Mahogany is a 24-year-old from San Bartolo, Peru.
When Ben, a former pastor in a strict, conservative religious sect, broke free from confinement and his marriage, he struggled to find his way forward.
After a bout of homelessness, he eventually found work as a model and caught Mahogany's eye after being featured in a fitness magazine.
Her fateful DM led to an intense texting relationship.
Bonded by their similar religious views, they fell in love and began making plans to meet in person, despite a 28-year age difference.
Ben's friends and family see countless red flags, from the significant age gap between them to the fact that they have never video chatted, but Ben believes that God has brought them together and this is the path he is meant to follow.
Is their relationship divine will, or is Ben blinded to the possibility that Mahogany may not be the person she said she is?
