90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star Big Ed Brown’s dating life after his split with Liz Woods has been quite shocking. Big Ed is a 58-year-old man from San Diego who became a popular face on the internet after his 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 4 debut. Big Ed was in a relationship with Rose Vega which didn’t work out. However, Big Ed and his Klippel Feil syndrome, which affects his neck, was discussed online. Big Ed treated Rose terribly, and she broke up with him before the finale.
Big Ed hired a dating coach when he came back to the U.S. His 90 Day: The Single Life journey began with Big Ed asking Liz out on a date. Liz tried her best to reject him, but she’d known him as a friend and customer at the restaurant she worked at. Thus began one of the most toxic relationships in 90 Day Fiancé history. Fans are now rejoicing since it’s been confirmed that Liz has dumped Big Ed and moved on, despite rumors of their wedding in 2023.
Big Ed and Liz had broken up when they appeared on The Single Life season 1 Tell All. Liz claimed Big Ed rushed into things in the relationship. She claimed Big Ed was pushing her to meet his family within a week of them becoming a couple. Liz was thrown into multiple situations she was not prepared for. Meanwhile, Liz had waited for months to introduce Big Ed to her grandparents only for them to break up two weeks later. They got back together at the end of season 2 when Liz reached out to offer condolences after Teddy died.
It was not going to be a happily ever after for Big Ed and Liz due to their age difference and trust issues. Big Ed accused Liz of having a relationship with a female coworker, Liz caught him using an Asian dating website and messaging his ex-Rose, amidst other things, and had broken up more than a dozen times before they were cast on 90 Day: The Last Resort season 1. The couple was tired of the endless cycle of their makeups and breakups. They feared they were both looking for a way out.
However, Big Ed and Liz treated the show as their last chance to make things work. The couple argued because Big Ed inserted himself into the relationship troubles between Jovi Dufren and Yara Zaya. Liz admitted she was running out of chances and wondered if they would be able to move to Arkansas and get married. Surprisingly, the recommitment ceremony was a joyous moment for Big Ed and Liz as they confirmed they were serious about their relationship with both proposing to each other. Big Ed and Liz were together for 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8.
They set their wedding date for August 2023. The season is following their journey together to the altar. Liz has been trying out wedding dresses and Big Ed has launched his brand-new real estate career. A leaked wedding website revealed Big Ed and Liz were to marry at the Holland Barn Venue in Bentonville, Arkansas. The theme for the wedding was Bohemian and the guests were informed that the wedding was going to be filmed. However, it appears the couple broke up before they could tie the knot and Big Ed didn’t become Liz’s third husband.
No pictures from the wedding ceremony were leaked online, which was unusual. By November 2023, Liz was going on dates with an unknown man whose hands and torso were visible in her IG Stories frequent date night posts confirmed she was with someone new. Liz never tagged the man on her social media updates, and she seemingly wanted fans to wonder if she was still with Big Ed. However, Liz confirmed she was with a new man by commenting, “Very Blessed & Filled With Happiness” on a post by @90daythemelanatedway that revealed her boyfriend’s face, Jayson.
In April 2024, Liz confirmed that she was back in San Diego via her IG Story. Liz reposted a video filmed by her boyfriend, Jayson. It showed her working behind the bar at a restaurant. Liz tagged Encontro North Park as the location, which confirmed it was the same place where Liz worked before she quit her waitress manager job and moved to Arkansas. The video had T-Pain’s “Bartender” playing in the background while Liz added her sweet caption on top of Jayson’s “I’m just here to annoy her.”
In November 2023, Big Ed posted and deleted a photo album showing him with a woman on Instagram. Big Ed sparked break-up rumors with these cuddly photos. Liz wasn’t in any of them. Curious fans decided that Big Ed had moved on when they saw how the woman was holding Big Ed’s hand while Liz was nowhere to be seen. It was after Big Ed posted these pictures that he was spotted on a dating app. Twitter user @shabooty shared screenshots of Big Ed’s profile on Bumble which someone in Arkansas had come across. He was already looking for love.
In January 2024, Big Ed seemingly confirmed his split with Liz. He was attending the 2024 Bigo Awards in Las Vegas when he confirmed that Liz wasn’t a part of his life anymore. Big Ed was on the red carpet for an interview as revealed by @90daythemelanatedway. Big Ed was asked to talk about his “Favorite moment on the app so far.” Bigo is a social live-streaming and entertainment app. Big Ed replied, “Um, well, I, uh, met somebody and she came out for New Year’s.” Big Ed didn’t reveal any further details about his mystery woman.
Meanwhile, Big Ed’s latest Instagram updates show that he’s collaborating with Trova Trip. Big Ed is going on a seven-day adventure in Thailand in November 2024. He will be exploring Phuket and going on the Coral Island Catamaran Cruise to explore Coral Island. Big Ed is looking for people to accompany him on the trip and might be looking forward to meeting someone who ends up dating him. The 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 is certainly not the end of the road for Big Ed’s ongoing storyline with the franchise.
