Ben, a 28-year-old fitness coach from San Jose, CA, entered Paradise with the hope of finding love after failing to do so on Kaitlyn Bristowe's season of The Bachelorette in 2015.

Formally known as Benedikt, the bachelor immediately took a liking to Raven Gates when he stepped on Playa Escondida resort in Mexico for Bachelor in Paradise. Ben, however, did not get to ask Raven on a date. Instead, he had to wait at the resort while human-Ken doll, Robby Hayes, took Raven on a fun jet-skiing date.

The premiere of Bachelor in Paradise's fourth season showed Raven telling the cameras she wanted to give Ben her rose over Robby, but since production was temporarily suspended before the first Rose Ceremony, will their romance pick up where it had left off?
