90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 2 star Ricky Reyes has been mentioned recently on the Internet, although he hasn't been in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise since his debut.

When Melissa was a couple hours late to meet him at a restaurant, viewers suspected that she was a catfish.
If this storyline sounds familiar, it's because it's extremely similar to the plotline between Ben Rathbun and his Peruvian love interest Mahogany Roca in 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Daysseason 5.

Therefore, the Colombian beauty said yes when Ricky eventually proposed to her. Viewers likely recall that he proposed with the same ring that he had been planning on giving to Melissa.

Recently, memes have been surfacing on Reddit that compare Ben to Ricky and other 90 Day Fiancé stars who have been stood up or catfished, because
