Big Ed’s brief romantic relationship ends
One week after popping the question at a restaurant, Big Ed Brown, one of the stars of TLC’s popular show “90 Day Fiancé,” announced that he and Porscha Raemond were calling it quits on their engagement. The 59-year-old reality personality revealed on Instagram that he had given it a lot of thought and had come to the conclusion that making the decision too quickly was a mistake. He showed Porscha his love and respect even after their breakup.
Big Ed said in a follow-up video that he wasn’t really interested in his impetuous proposal and that it was too soon to make such a commitment. He called the romance a “whirlwind moment” and expressed gratitude to his followers for their unwavering support along the way.
Their romance started just one week ago when they made a paid appearance at a Florida sandwich restaurant. Porscha entered the store, embraced Big Ed, and even planted a kiss and an embrace on his cheek.
He asked her to hang out the next night because they clicked right away. He had no idea that that evening, with the help of a buddy and a homemade engagement ring the restaurant manager had created out of a paperclip, he would be popping the question to her.
Reactions to the plan, which was captured on camera and appeared on TMZ, were not unanimous. Big Ed assured everyone it was genuine, despite some viewers thinking it was forced and contrived. He considered Porscha his dream girl and said it was love at first sight when they first met.
Big Ed’s performances on several seasons of the “90 Day Fiancé” television program helped make him well-known. But this isn’t his first romantic relationship. He has four engagements under his belt, two of which are shown on the show. He was married to Sandra Heckman before he became well-known, but their 1992 divorce was brought on by adultery. Not until thirty years later did he make his television debut on “90 Day Fiancé.”
Having broken up with his last fiancée, Rose Vega, Big Ed moved on to Liz Woods, the manager of his favourite restaurant, rather soon. Despite spending several years together, their relationship was turbulent and resulted in over a dozen breakups and reconciliations.
Despite his ups and downs throughout his tenure on the program, Big Ed’s genuineness and charm have elevated him to the status of one of the franchise’s biggest stars. Even though it might not have worked out, his supporters are still there to help him as he makes his way through the dating and relationship scene.
