Ben From Love Is Blind Is Already In Some TikTok Drama
More Love Is Blind, more messiness.
Spoiler alert: This post discusses events within the first four episodes of Love Is Blind Season 8.
The social media drama kicked off sooner than ever with Season 8 of Love Is Blind. Even before the season began, gossip had flooded TikTok about the men that had been cast. In particular, Ben Mezzenga’s name was being mentioned a lot in the comments. Well, Ben acknowledged all the speculation with his own TikTok. With all this chatter surrounding the 28-year-old, here’s everything to know about him.
In the pods, Ben formed an initial connection with Sara, although they didn’t exactly align on political or religious views. While Sara had issues with the Catholic church specifically over its views on LGBTQ+ communities, Ben expressed that he’d prefer to have a partner who goes to church with him each week. In addition, when Sara emphasized how important political engagement and activism is to her following the murder of George Floyd and Donald Trump’s presidency, Ben stated his indifference towards politics, revealing he didn’t vote in the last election.
Things seemed to be off to a rocky start for Ben and Sara, and if the social media rumors are true, then it might not get much easier.
