90 Day Fiance star dies aged 55 surrounded by family after months battling horror diagnosis
Ben Rathbun, star of the reality show 90 Day Fiance, has died at the age of 55. He passed away at his home in Greencastle, Indiana on Monday morning, a source told TMZ. 3 3 Ben had been battling stage four stomach cancer, which he only been diagnosed with at the end of last year. He spent his final moments surrounded by his family, according to the publication. Ben became well known after his story was featured on 90 Day Fiance. He was a 52-year-old father of four when it aired, who met his 22-year-old girlfriend, Mahogany Roca online. The show chronicles the lives of such couples who meet online and apply for a K-1 visa - which sets the 90 day clock ticking in which to get married. They would later appear on a follow up spinoff 90 Day Diaries, in which they revealed they had got married a few months earlier. While their story was being aired, several viewers were doubtful that the couple would meet. Some fans reckoned that someone could have been catfishing him during their online interactions. But Ben and Mahogany would go on to meet nonetheless, proving the naysayers wrong. They confirmed their engagement on a YouTube video in 2022, which on a trip to see Mahogony in Peru. The couple were reportedly still together at the time of Ben's death.
