Are Love Is Blind’s Ben and Sara Still Together?
Ben and Sara connected during their time in the pods, but it wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. Sara became concerned that Ben wasn’t as passionate about certain social justice issues like she was, but they ultimately overcame the minor speed bump in their relationship. Ben popped the question and Sara agreed to marry him.
They both follow each other on Instagram, which is a good sign that they’re together, or at least have maintained a friendship outside of Love Is Blind.
What Happened With Love Is Blind’s Ben and Sara in the Pods?
Sara and Ben felt a spark early on during their time on Love Is Blind season 8, but it wasn’t long before the oncology nurse began to question whether or not they truly had the same values since she was determined to find an emotionally mature partner who also cares for others with the same passion she does. When Sara asked the former college baseball player about his views on the Black Lives Matter movement, she wasn’t happy with his answer.
“I’m not one way or another,” Ben replied. “I just kind of keep out of it.”
Sara voiced her concerns with producers and some of the other women in the pods after her date that day.
“Teaching people fundamental values … I can’t teach that,” Sara told the cameras.
She then told her podmate Virginia Miller, “So, he didn’t vote. Then I was like, ‘OK, what do you think about Black Lives Matter?’ and he said, ‘Honestly, I just haven’t educated myself on it.’ That’s important to me.”
Ben eventually put Sara’s mind at ease though as his bio notes that he prides himself on being a team player who values vulnerability in his perfect match. During their following date, he assured her that he was more than willing to do the work to educate himself and learn about the issues she considered important.
“I’m not looking at it as your responsibility to help me with that,” the developer told Sara shortly before he proposed. “I don’t want you to have any burden or any weight on your shoulders thinking that you have to teach me because I do have that motivation to grow into that and that internal feeling that we do have the same beliefs in these things. And yes, we will be on the same side of things.”
