Big Ed has been a controversial figure since his debut on 90 Day Fiance, particularly due to his relationship with Rose Vega, which made him well-known and a subject of memes. His behavior towards Rose was often arrogant and unkind, leading to their breakup. He then entered a relationship with Liz Woods, with whom he had a turbulent engagement that ended days before their wedding due to ongoing conflicts.
Recently, Big Ed announced a surprise engagement to a 29-year-old woman he met, while he is currently 60 years old. The engagement took place at a sandwich shop where he used a paperclip to make a ring. However, this engagement was short-lived, as they decided to call it off, claiming they were not ready for such a commitment. It seemed their engagement was more of a publicity stunt rather than a serious intention.
After his breakups and the engagement fiasco, Big Ed moved to Arkansas and began to find success as a real estate agent. In a recent episode of 90 Day Diaries, he expressed his desire to start dating again, this time looking for women closer to his age. Previously, he had significant age gaps in his relationships with Rose and Liz.
Big Ed has also reflected on his Christian faith, admitting he had drifted away from it after his past disappointments. He aims to reconnect with his faith, praying for guidance and looking to give back.
