Big Ed Brown, the well-known star from TLC’s popular show 90 Day Fiancé, has officially announced the end of his brief engagement to Porscha Raemond. The 59-year-old reality star proposed to Porscha just a week earlier during a dinner at a restaurant. However, in a recent Instagram post, Big Ed shared that after reflecting on his decision, he realized that rushing into the engagement was a mistake. Despite the sudden break-up, he expressed his continued respect and love for Porscha.
Impulsive Proposal Leads to Break-up
In a follow-up video, Big Ed opened up about his impulsive decision to propose, admitting that it wasn’t something he truly wanted. He described the romance as a whirlwind, acknowledging that it was too soon for such a significant commitment. His candid admission came alongside gratitude to his fans for their support, as he continues to navigate the complexities of love and relationships.
A Whirlwind Romance in Florida
The couple’s relationship began in an unexpected setting—a sandwich shop in Florida where Big Ed made a paid appearance. Porscha approached him during the event, greeted him with a hug and kiss on the cheek, and their chemistry was instant. That same night, Ed asked her to hang out again, and following encouragement from a friend, he proposed using a makeshift paperclip ring provided by the restaurant manager. The spontaneous proposal, which was caught on video and shared by TMZ, sparked mixed reactions from viewers, with some believing the moment was staged. Big Ed, however, stood by the authenticity of the proposal, calling Porscha his “dream girl.”
Big Ed’s Tumultuous Relationship History
Big Ed’s romantic life has been well-documented, both on 90 Day Fiancé and off-screen. His journey to find love hasn’t been without its challenges. Before his rise to fame, he was married to Sandra Heckman, but their marriage ended in 1992 due to infidelity. Over the years, Big Ed has been engaged four times, with two of those engagements featured on the show. His previous engagement to Rose Vega ended in a public breakup, after which he quickly moved on to a relationship with Liz Woods, the manager of his favorite restaurant.
Navigating Fame and Love
Though Big Ed’s relationship with Liz Woods was long-lasting, it was far from stable. The couple went through over a dozen breakups and reconciliations before ultimately ending things for good. Despite the ups and downs in his romantic life, Big Ed remains one of the most recognized figures in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. His fans continue to support him, and while this latest engagement didn’t work out, his journey to find love continues, with fans eagerly watching to see what comes next for him.
