Love Is Blindseason 8 may have wrapped up on March 9, but the drama didn't stop there, as rumors have been swirling about Monica Danús and Ben Mezzenga potentially dating, so let's dive in and see what's happening. This unexpected post-season wife swap has taken an interesting turn, mainly since Monica and Ben were initially engaged to other people on the show. The season premiered on February 14—marking the show's fifth anniversary—and featured the largest Love Is Blind cast, with 32 participants.

Monica, a 28-year-old digital marketer, went into the experiment hoping to find someone who'd embrace her quirks, such as talking to herself. Ben, also 28, a developer, was looking for someone who could match his energy and was open to love. While the two did interact during the season, they each left the pods engaged to different people. Now, with speculation heating up about a possible romance between them, it's time to take a closer look at their journey—and what may have brought them together after the cameras stopped rolling.

They Were Engaged To Other People

Monica quickly connected with Joey Leveille in the pods, as the two demonstrated a unique love story. Their bold, vibrant personalities complemented each other perfectly, while their mutual love for music and singing helped the two Love Is Blind season 8 cast members connect on a deeper level. Just before meeting Monica, he reflected on how she made him feel safe being himself, making him hopeful for the future.

While their chemistry continued in the real world, trouble came when Monica introduced Joey to her family. Her sister had some reservations about their relationship, but all that changed when she met the couple again during their photoshoot and agreed there was something special about them. Unfortunately, in the end, Monica admitted something didn't feel right, breaking up with Joey at the altar.
