Big Ed Brown, a star of the reality TV show 90 Day Fiancé, seems to be in a financial mess after his split with Liz
Woods in Season 8. Big Ed began his reality TV journey with 90 Day Fiancé, where he met his much younger
girlfriend Rose Vega in person. However, his behavior towards Rose was criticized as he insulted her appearance and
mocked her poor living conditions. Despite the bad publicity, Big Ed became a successful meme in 2020, even after Rose dumped him.
Big Ed came back with a new spin-off called 90 Day: The Single Life, where he continued to appear on the show with a new partner, Liz. However, Big Ed and Liz broke up multiple times, with their 15th split being their last. After their breakup was finally confirmed on Happily Ever After Season 8, Big Ed called off their wedding right before the ceremony, citing a massive argument over his taco pasta recipe as the reason.
It was reported that Big Ed and Liz got married in August 2023, but Big Ed had not informed Liz about the cancellation of the ceremony. Almost two years have passed since Big Ed and Liz split, and he has still not been able to find a new girlfriend. In November 2022, Big Ed hinted at an exit from the franchise in an interview with In Touch, revealing that his contract was expiring in December 2024 and he was open to new opportunities.
Big Ed’s latest fiancée, Porsche Raymond, spoke about their whirlwind engagement on social media, claiming that Big Ed had gotten engaged to her for publicity. Porsche stated that she did not believe the engagement was real or a commitment in any way, and confirmed that they were not together. This confirmed rumors that Big Ed’s entire story about proposing to Porsche with a paperclip ring was fabricated.
When Big Ed addressed the engagement on social media, he said he had done something impulsive and later realized that asking Porsche to marry him was too soon and not something he really wanted. He announced that he was single and going to be single for a while, having talked to his family and realizing he didn’t want to get married. This development suggests that Big Ed’s dating life is not going well, and it’s unlikely that he will return to the show anytime soon.
Despite his struggles with relationships and his declining popularity on social media, Big Ed is still trying to stay relevant in the reality TV world. He has started a career in real estate, working with Exit Taylor Realty in Arkansas. However, it seems that his desperation to be back on TV has led him to launch his own wine label, “Big Ed’s Melb,” which has received mocking comments from fans on Instagram.
In January 2024, Big Ed shared that he is currently working on a home renovation show called “Big Ed’s Home and Art,” which is already in development with four episodes ready to go. He has pitched the concept to a few networks, hoping they’ll pick it up. This suggests that 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After was his last show with this network.
