Season 8 of Netflix's popular social experiment, Love Is Blind, released episodes 7-9 on February 21, 2025. Episode 9, titled The EX-Files, saw Ben land himself in a predicament when his fiancée, Sara, came across a TikTok video of an unnamed woman, crying and criticizing the men on reality TV. Ben said she was referencing him, and that he had gone out with her four years ago.
Sara became curious about the kind of relationship Ben had with the woman, wondering why she had to take to social media to cry about a past relationship. Ben defended himself, saying the woman on the video was "overreacting," and manipulating their story.
However, when Sara confronted Ben with questions about that relationship, he struggled to answer, saying he did not remember much about it and had not been in contact with the person. Despite Ben's reassurances, Sara felt apprehensive. She urged her partner to come clean before discovering more from a different source.

"Something about Ben saying he doesn't remember anything about this lady...and then parsing out tiny details he suddenly "remembers" is sus," another fan wrote.

"I don't like that you don't remember" — Love Is Blind star Sara confronts Ben after discovering the TikTok video
After coming across the TikTok video of the woman talking about reality shows, specifically the one filming in Minneapolis— a reference to Love Is Blind— Sara showed it to Ben. Ben told Sara he had already seen the video, and added that the girl was referencing him. While explaining the situation, he said:
"I don't want to give her any ability to do anything with me if she decides to release my name or anything. I don't wanna give her any control over that, so I blocked her."
The Love Is Blind star added that the woman had also blocked him from seeing her feed. When Ben said he had not talked to her in "over four years," Sara wondered what caused the woman to react that way. Ben defended himself by accusing her of twisting facts and projecting him in a bad light.
When Sara further interrogated Ben, he revealed he met the person through a dating app but never got intimate with her. However, he could not remember the breakup or other details of the relationship.
"I don't like that you don't remember," Sara countered.
Although Ben could not recall much, he stated he "ghosted her" after going out with her a few times. However, he could not remember why he "ghosted" her or what had happened between them that made the woman cry on social media. After a while, he added that she might have sent him a few DMs after they parted ways.
Sara remained unconvinced. She refused to "dismiss what she said," and urged Ben to be open and upfront if there was more to their story.
Stream Love Is Blind season 8 exclusively on Netflix.
