Who Is ‘Love Is Blind’s Benita Paloja’s Mystery Fiancé? Everything We Know
John Shannon and Sarah Williams‘ explosive divorce wasn’t the only major reveal during the Love Is Blind Season 11 reunion. While she didn’t get engaged in the pods, Benita Paloja revealed that she has taken a major step in a new relationship today.
During Season 11, Benita connected with both Morrey Eglin and Blake Carver. While she didn’t end up with either guy, she made her affection clear in the pods, leading to Morrey claiming she was “love-bombing” him.
After the season, Morrey caught up with Swooon and defended Benita. “Not going through the experiment, people don’t understand the emotions there are really heightened. So it’s kind of like dating on steroids, right? Where everything’s accelerated, it’s quicker, and their emotions are higher. So the one thing I’d say is, I’d give Benita a little grace.”
So, how did Benita go from telling Morrey she could fall in love in the pods to being with a new man today? What is her relationship status? Who is her mystery man? We’re breaking down everything we know below!
Is Benita engaged?
During the reunion, Benita confessed, “I actually have been keeping a secret from everybody. I’m actually engaged.” Immediately, Morrey joked, “I’m right here.” However, Vanessa Lachey made it clear that Benita’s fiancé was not in the reunion audience. Instead, Benita explained, “I’d like to announce him and kind of like bring him out to the public on my own platform.”
Who is Benita’s fiancé?
So, who exactly is Benita’s fiancé? Right now, she hasn’t shared his name yet, but we’re sure the big news is coming soon. According to the star, she seems to have been in a relationship for most of the time between filming the show and the reunion. She explained, “Everything’s great. I’ve had the most beautiful, fun last year and a half.”
Is Benita engaged to Blake?
While Benita hasn’t revealed her beau just yet, fans have one surprising theory about who he could be. Vanessa claimed Benita’s fiancé wasn’t in the audience — but she didn’t say he wasn’t on stage. In Benita’s comments, fans are theorizing that her fiancé could be Blake, based on his vague comments about seeing someone since filming who isn’t Erika Ellis and his facial expressions while Benita was talking about her man. One fan put it, “Ur fiance is Blake I’m calling it now,” while another shared, “I need to know if you are engaged to Blake. I got vibbbessss from the reunion!!!”
