Mahogany Roca Ominously Hints She Is Still Dating Ben Rathbun

One of the most surprising 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Season 5 couples were Ben Rathbun and Mahogany Roca.

First, viewers were astonished to see that Mahogany was real. The catfishing story was forgotten in the place of Ben's escalating creepiness.

Ben blamed relationship troubles on 90 Day Fiance ... and generally on everything but himself. Many hoped that they were over.

Now, Mahogany is hinting that they are together. But why?

Over Memorial Day Weekend, Mahogany Roca shared this photo of her with Ben Rathbun, seemingly dressed up for a dinner date.

It is possible that this slightly out-of-focus photo is a throwback.

But she didn't label it as such -- she just used a lot of hashtags, many related to the franchise, and an emoji depicting clinking glasses.

"You still with Ben???" asked a stunned commenter.

"Are they seeing each other again?" another queried, commenting: "Lord have mercy."

A different commenter described Ben: "A man acting like a little boy trying to be with a young girl."

Now, hang on a moment.

During their season, when Ben met up with Mahogany, he was surprised to learn that the woman he saw as his future wife didn't see him as her future husband.

Instead, she characterized him as being more of a "friend," something that took him a while to accept.

In fact, as the season unfolded, Mahogany began to even question their status as "friends."

Ben was rude, embarrassing her in front of her parents by not showing up to breakfast because he resented her not responding to his texts.

Speaking of his texts, he sent her what is frankly an insane amount of stuff, overwhelming her with what he admitted was about "ten pages" worth of words. Ridiculous.

Ben refused to accept the blame for any of the real issues with him and Mahogany -- or even with his ex-wife or his former fiancee.

Mahogany called him out on that and on other things.

Finally, he ended up pursuing her into and then out of a car. She was done. Enough was enough.

But nearly a year later, when their season was finally airing, people spotted and photographed them together at a mall in Lima, Peru.

There were no cameras on them at the time (though the cast members can and do go places off camera during filming).

It's possible that they were back together, either for the show or because of their own emotional entanglement.

That was months ago, however.

So while it's possible that they're still together, it's also possible that they're broken up.

And until this photo, people had an easy time telling themselves that Ben was working on his next infatuation while Mahogany was living her life as before.

But this pic could still be misleading, since we do not know the context or when it was taken.

Some speculate that Mahogany shared the photo for her own reasons, to keep people guessing.

Whether it's attention for her internet brand or to string people along until a (potential) new season with the two of them airs ... that is anyone's guess.
