90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? couple Big Ed Brown and Liz Woods’s relationship status after season 8 is shocking. Big Ed is a 58-year-old man from San Diego who caught the attention of reality TV viewers for his neck condition and his troubled relationship with Rose Vega, which got made into many memes. Once Big Ed was single again, he came back to the U.S. from the Philippines and Big Ed started a weight-loss journey. Big Ed felt confident when he asked Liz, 30, out on a date.
Liz was even younger than Big Ed’s daughter, Tiffany. Big Ed and Liz’s age gap is the biggest reason for their relationship problems. The couple had over 14 breakups since the start of their romance. While 90 Day: The Last Resort seemed to have magically made their issues disappear, Big Ed and Liz weren’t compatible from the start and eventually split for good. 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? is expertly documenting the downfall of this reality TV relationship.
Big Ed & Liz’s 90 Day Fiancé Journey Explained
Big Ed was 55 years old when he sparked a romance with a 28-year-old Liz in 90 Day: The Single Life season 1. He claimed he had a crush on her for two months and called her his “friend.” Big Ed described Liz as “hot” and claimed he liked her because she was a mom and very independent. Big Ed asked Liz out on a date, so they could get to know each other. Liz rejected Big Ed when he asked her what she was doing the next day, but she finally agreed to meet him for brunch.
Liz was “baffled” as she had never pictured Big Ed asking her out on a date.
The brunch date went surprisingly well and for their second date, Big Ed and Liz went for a goat yoga session. By the time episode 5 aired, Big Ed tried kissing Liz, and she revealed it had “pushed her back.” All signs were pointing at Liz not liking Big Ed. She only wanted to be friends with Big Ed. However, in episode 8, Big Ed and Liz were “reading the same signs,” which made Big Ed go in for a kiss again.
Big Ed was overjoyed at the “off the charts” night they spent “ making love, twice. ”
Big Ed and Liz broke up at the end of the season, but when they reconciled, they revealed they were engaged. The couple had multiple breakups along the way as their journey was documented on various 90 Day Fiancé spin-offs. They split during the Tell All of Happily Ever After? season 7 but later appeared on 90 Day: The Last Resort where they made up and decided they were going to finally tie the knot.
