Alright, Love Is Blind fans, buckle up — Season 8 isn’t even out yet, but the drama is already sizzling hotter than a summer fling.
While everyone’s been side-eyeing Ben Mezzenga for his alleged playboy antics and shady behavior (did you know about that?), there’s a new contestant stealing the spotlight: Benji Smith. And guess what? He’s got some major news that’s shaking up the LIB fandom — a baby on the way!
Yep, you heard that right. This plot twist has fans losing their minds, so let’s spill the tea.

On Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025, a fan dropped a bombshell on the Love Is Blind subreddit, linking to a January 17 article about a puppy crashing a gender reveal party. But here’s the kicker — the guy in the article? None other than Benji Smith from LIB Season 8.
After some serious sleuthing, we can confirm it’s the Benji Smith. Sure, there are probably a million 26-year-old Benjamin Smiths in Minneapolis, but his TikTok handle (@benjaminjbsmith) sealed the deal. That’s the same guy we’ll see on the show! Naturally, Reddit is going wild, with fans guessing Benji might be an “early out” this season. I mean, would Netflix really want a contestant dropping spoilers like this before the season even airs? Doubt it.
Benji Smith has finally weighed in on the baby rumors.
After weeks of silence, Benji hopped on TikTok on January 29 with a cryptic video that’s equal parts mysterious and chaotic.
In the video, he teased fans with a smirk: “There’s this rumor going around about my future baby, and I thought I’d address it because, hey, everyone seems to be talking about it,” he said.
“But, am I really gonna give you the whole scoop right now? Is there a baby? Maybe, maybe not,” he continued. “I guess we’ll all just find out together. Until then, keep your guesses coming because you are so close.”
So, what’s the verdict? Baby or no baby? Is Benji really about to become a dad, or is this just another wild rumor to keep us talking? Either way, one thing’s for sure — Season 8 of Love Is Blind is shaping up to be juicier than we ever imagined.
