It all started at the Industrious Spirit Company in Providence, RI, where one drink turned into four hours of talking, laughing, and a little harmless gossiping. From that night on, something just clicked. After a summer of dates, Ben made it official just in time for Mackenzie’s birthday and just days after, he adopted their beloved pup Michael. Since then, their love has been filled with cozy nights of reality TV marathons — from Real Housewives to Survivor and everything in between — and weekends of adventures, seafood, and sunshine. On September 20, 2025, Ben proposed on Mayo Beach in Wellfleet, MA — a place that has always been special to Mackenzie and her family, and now to both of them. It was the perfect full-circle moment for a couple who has built their relationship on laughter, love, family, and a little bit of reality TV drama.
