Sara\u2019s sister, <strong>Lisa<\/strong>, admitted she was struggling to accept the relationship after meeting her siblings\u2019 new fianc\u00e9e over drinks.<\/p>\n<p>Fans watched as Sara, 29, and Ben, 28, discussed with Lisa and her partner, Kelsie, during episode 10 about how they shared similar morals despite their differing backgrounds. The oncology nurse mentioned that they intentionally discussed sensitive topics, such as the LGBTQ community and the church, both describing themselves as \u201cfiscally conservative and socially liberal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kelsie had doubts that the<em> Love Is Blind<\/em> couple were on the same page and said Ben was in a \u201cdifferent privilege bucket\u201d than Sara was. As soon as Ben left to get more drinks, Kelsie and Lisa both admitted they were struggling to be supportive of Ben and Kelsie\u2019s relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see that you have a strong connection, but this is not real right now,\u201d Lisa told her.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from their differing stances on various topics, the newly engaged couple faced a major hurdle when Sara was sent a TikTok video about an unnamed <em>Love Is Blind<\/em> season 8 male cast member \u2014 who was later identified as Ben. In the social media footage, the creator, a woman named <strong>Andra Berghoff<\/strong>, tearfully alleged that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/posts\/love-is-blinds-ben-addresses-tiktok-drama-already-making-up-stuff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he had treated women terribly in the past.<\/a> While she never mentioned Ben by name, she did say that the man played baseball for the University of Minnesota, and he\u2019s the only member of the cast to have done that.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<div class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%;\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"photo-credit\"><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Netflix<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI think she\u2019s referencing me. I had seen it. Literally when we were at the brewery,\u201d Ben addressed the video during episode 9. \u201cI saw this come out, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Screw this.\u2019 I don\u2019t want to give her any ability to do anything with me if she decides to release my name or anything. I don\u2019t want to give her control over that, so I blocked her. And because she had blocked me from seeing her TikTok feed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ben claimed he met the woman on Tinder but they \u201cnever hooked up.\u201d When Sara asked why the woman would block him, he replied, \u201cProbably because she doesn\u2019t want me to see this? I don\u2019t know. I haven\u2019t talked to her in over four years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish I could give you a more, like, \u2018Yeah, it was this dramatic breakup. I didn\u2019t treat her well because of this reason or this reason.\u2019 Or \u2018I don\u2019t feel proud of this or that,\u2019 but like, I just honestly don\u2019t remember. All I remember was it was four years ago, and it was a short amount of time that we were talking. I just honestly can\u2019t remember what happened,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Sara has spoken out about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/posts\/love-is-blinds-sara-sets-record-straight-on-tiktok-about-ben\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">messy situation with Ben<\/a>, admitting she was \u201cskeptical\u201d of him during their discussion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve trusted Ben, so I wanted to continue trusting him. But of course, this TikTok I needed to keep in the back of my mind. I wasn\u2019t going to dismiss it or disregard it, by any means,\u201d she told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/posts\/love-is-blinds-sara-sets-record-straight-on-tiktok-about-ben\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/a> in an interview published on Tuesday, February 25. \u201cI just felt very conflicted and there were feelings involved, and I didn\u2019t want to end the relationship just because of this one thing when we were so happy.
