Sara, 29, and Ben got engaged sight unseen during Love Is Blind season 8, which was filmed in Minneapolis in spring 2024 and aired on Netflix last month. Sara ultimately called off the engagement at the altar, citing fundamental political and religious differences.

While the pair repeatedly expressed their love for each other, they struggled to get on the same page about religion and social issues.

Sara Carton agreed to keep seeing Ben Mezzenga after rejecting him at the altar on Love Is Blind for his seeming lack of engagement in anything with any depth -- among other relationship red flags -- only for him to ghost her a week or two later.
