Are Benjamin and Akinyi still together?

After a tough divorce, Benjamin began online dating in his home state of Arizona. But, he wasn't thrilled with the lack of romantic prospects in his area, so he expanded his dating profile so there was no distance barrier. He met Akinyi online, who lived in Nairobi. She made the first move, and Benjamin was utterly flattered that she was interested.

Benjamin did worry about how a new marriage would affect his young son, Grayson, and there were tender moments on the show when Benjamin talked about how his child was his biggest priority. He made the journey to Kenya, and it was soon clear that his son would be just one of many roadblocks in their relationship.

Benjamin soon learned that he was the first man Akinyi had brought home before, and he was quite possibly the first white man to ever visit her village. He also was made aware that he'd have to offer her father a bride price in order to be given approval to marry Akinyi.

He was candid about how he wasn't flush with cash, and paying the bride price would be an issue if her father demanded a large sum.

The couple's current relationship status has been kept private, and the two have not shared couples photos on each of their Instagram pages.
