Love Is Blind<\/em><\/a> star Sara Carton<\/strong> reflected on her relationship with Ben Mezzenga<\/strong>, admitting she had concerns that he wasn\u2019t honest with her about the importance of religion in his life and she had second thoughts about getting married.<\/p>\n Throughout the course of season 8, fans watched Sara, 29, and Ben, 28, have personal conversations about serious topics including politics and religion.<\/p>\n As the couple got to know each other over the course of the experience, Sara told Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> that she feared she was \u201cexpecting too much\u201d or being too \u201charsh\u201d with Ben while asking questions about his values. While Ben said that his faith was important to him and he regularly goes to church, Sara said she was more spiritual and wasn\u2019t attached to religious practices.<\/p>\n During one episode released on Friday, February 28, fans watched Sara accompany Ben to a service.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the time, I thought he was being truthful saying like, \u2018It\u2019s OK. I don\u2019t want you to ever feel obligated,\u2019 I also know it\u2019s important to him,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cIt\u2019s very interesting watching the episodes back because I realize how important religion really is for him in the last couple episodes, and I never heard that from him [during the experiment]. \u2026 You would think someone religious or with that [level of] spirituality would want their partner to have the same level.\u201d<\/p>\n Not only did Sara admit that she and Ben weren\u2019t on the same page<\/a> when it came to religion, but she also shared that she had concerns going into their wedding.<\/p>\n \u201cI was very conflicted,\u201d she said of her mindset ahead of the nuptials. \u201cI was trying to soak in all this information that I was receiving in such little time to make such an important decision.\u201d<\/p>\n Sara added that it was an \u201coverwhelming\u201d process for her, and she didn\u2019t know how to work through her strong feelings for someone she had gotten engaged to so quickly.<\/p>\n \u201cYou love this person and you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh my gosh, this is my person. This is a beautiful concept and it\u2019s working for me,\u2019\u201d the Netflix star said. \u201cAnd then you\u2019re trying to get every little detail [about them].\u201d<\/p>\n While fans will have to wait until episode 12 on March 7 to see if Sara and Ben get married, the pair hit many roadblocks during their time on the show.<\/p>\n During episode 9, Sara and Ben watched a woman named Andra Berghoff<\/b>, who claimed to have previously dated him, allege that <\/span>he has treated women terribly in the past<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n Andra did not directly name Ben in the video, which was uploaded in March 2024. However, she mentioned that one of the cast members played baseball for the University of Minnesota. Ben is the only season 8 cast member to have done so, which made it clear she was speaking about him<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ben addressed the situation<\/a> during episode 9, telling Sara that he blocked Andra because he didn\u2019t \u201cwant to give her any ability to do anything with me if she decides to release my name or anything.\u201d Additionally, Ben claimed that he hadn\u2019t talked to Andra in more than four years and insisted that she was \u201cmaking stuff up.\u201d<\/p>\n Sara reflected on learning about the revelation<\/span><\/a> while speaking to <\/span>Us Weekly<\/span><\/i><\/a> on Tuesday, February 25. \u201cI knew I had to take it seriously and it was always in the back of my head. But also, I\u2019m an enneagram 2 \u2014 naturally a caregiver. I was protecting Ben. I was protecting our relationship, and at the time, I was like, \u2018I honestly don\u2019t wanna talk about this more than what we need to, but we obviously need to talk about the facts and I do have questions,\u201d\u2019 she recalled of her reaction to Andra\u2019s allegations. \u201cAnd so when he was saying he doesn\u2019t remember, it\u2019s like, \u2018OK, then you need to tell me at least off camera what you do remember.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
