90 Day Fiancé: Who is Big Ed?
Big Ed is one of the most divisive characters in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise’s history.
Although he is not liked by many, it is undeniable that the reality star has an intriguing personality.
Since he appeared on the show, his fame has elevated to the status of an internet superstar.
Big Ed was born Edward Allen Brown on April 28, 1965, in Richmond, California.
His mother goes by the name Norman Brown, but his father’s identity remains unknown.

For his education, he attended the New School of Architecture and Design.
Big Ed worked as a freelance photographer. He traveled to locations including Italy, Ecuador, and Hawaii to shoot weddings as part of his work.
His portfolio was filled to the brim with all sorts of photography, including wedding photographs, family pictures, and fashion shots, as seen on his official website.
However, he hasn’t published any of his work in a while. It’s unclear if he decided to shut it down because of the epidemic or other reasons. Since 2021, his photography website has been taken down.

But he is now a reality celebrity, and his presence on social media has increased.
In Touch Weekly estimates Big Ed’s worth at $800,000.
Brown was previously married to Sandra Heckman around the late 1980s.
Their relationship lasted barely two years until it fell apart when Big Ed cheated on Heckman.
As per Ed, the relationship “didn’t work out.”
Before they separated, the ex-couple welcomed a daughter named Tiffany.
Big Ed’s love life history with Rosemarie Vega is no new to the viewers.
The couple first met online and stayed connected for three months. After that, he flew to the Philippines and met Rose in person.
Both had children from previous relationships, with Ed’s daughter a bit older than Rosemarie.
Throughout their journey in 90 Day Fiance, the pair appeared to be hindered by their differences since they constantly quarrel over issues.
Possibly when they started bickering over having kids, everything between the couple came to a head.
Rosemarie, who was already a mother of one, desired more children, but Ed had different ideas.
The pair eventually dissolved their relationship because they could not reach an understanding or make any concessions.
The pair attempted to keep their separation a secret for a while, but in May 2020, Ed finally admitted that he and Rosemarie had broken up.
He even went so far as to say that their disagreement about what they wanted was the reason behind the breakup.
In 90 Day Fiance: The Single Life, Ed, and Liz started dating after he split up with Rose.
The relationship quickly ended following the season 1 Tell-All, only to rekindle their romance in season 2.
In August 2021, they got engaged immediately but didn’t announce it until November.
Ed and Liz have had a rocky relationship, breaking up 11 times over time, and getting back together. Their engagement ended while filming the 90-Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? season 7.
Liz discovered that Ed spoke to his ex-fiance Rosemarie, and also allegedly found Ed on an Asian dating website.
Ed promptly requested Liz to return her engagement ring, but the pair rekindled shortly after the tell-all aired.
