The world of 90 Day Fiancé is witnessing a wave of emotions as both Big Ed Brown and his ex-fiancee Liz Woods
face significant health challenges. Known for his unforgettable moments on Before the 90 Days and Happily Ever
After, Big Ed has recently shared troubling news about his health, coming just days after Liz revealed her battle with
cancer and ongoing chemotherapy treatment.
Big Ed gained fame during Season 4 of Before the 90 Days, primarily through his unconventional romance with Rose Vega, and became infamous for quirky moments such as putting mayonnaise in his hair and asking Rose to shave his back. Following his stint on the show, Ed entered a turbulent relationship with Liz during The Single Life Season 1. After three years of ups and downs, the couple’s engagement came to an end in August 2023.
In December 2024, Liz confirmed her cancer diagnosis, announcing that she was undergoing chemotherapy. This revelation followed rumors concerning her new boyfriend, Jason Zuniga, allegedly being unfaithful. As she completed 14 rounds of chemotherapy, Liz has experienced significant weight loss, which has only added to the concerns surrounding her health and her relationship.
Adding to the emotional turmoil, Big Ed recently posted a concerning video from the hospital, revealing that he has been battling bronchitis. In the video, he appeared visibly fatigued while addressing fans from his hospital bed, dressed in a green John Deere sweatshirt and matching Crocs. Big Ed emphasized the importance of seeking prompt medical care, stating, “Don’t wait like I did and let it turn into something worse.” His candid update sparked concern among fans, many of whom expressed relief that he had sought medical attention and offered their support.
Despite his illness, Big Ed was seen alone in the hospital, sparking questions about his support system. He has family in Arkansas, a major reason for relocating there from San Diego, particularly during his complicated relationship with Liz. Meanwhile, Liz’s struggle with cancer has also been compounded by feelings of isolation, as many have noted a lack of support from her boyfriend, Jason.
Amid revelations of Jason spending time with his ex-girlfriend during Liz’s treatment, speculation has intensified regarding their relationship. Although Liz initially denied the rumors of infidelity, she later deleted photos of Jason from her Instagram, hinting at a possible rift.
While Big Ed has not publicly commented on Liz’s health or their current relationship status, it remains uncertain whether the two have maintained contact. Some speculate that Big Ed’s recent hospital update may be an attempt to garner sympathy in light of Liz receiving attention for her serious health challenges.
As both Big Ed and Liz navigate these significant struggles largely without the consistent support of their respective partners, fans of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise are left hoping for a brighter, healthier future for both stars.
