It’s not currently clear why fans believe that one of the reality show’s stars died, though cast member Soukaina did mention death when she learned that Mark is 44 during their date featured on the June 11 episode.

“I don’t believe in age. I feel like we’re the same age,” Soukaina, who is 24, said when acknowledging their age gap.

While Mark joked that they’re either both 24 or close to 50, Soukaina admitted that sometimes she wakes up and feels “like I’m gonna die.”

“He told me that he’s 44. I was shocked,” the Morocco native explained in a confessional. “He’s not looking like, really 44. I don’t have a problem.”

Soukaina said that she liked that Mark has “experience” and that he’s “kind” and “funny,” though it wasn’t meant to be and they chose not to pursue a relationship.
