Big Ed Brown and Liz Woods, a couple from the show 90 Day: The Last Resort, have ended their relationship, and it appears that Liz may be the reason behind the split. Big Ed, who first appeared on the franchise in a relationship with Rose Vega from the Philippines, experienced a breakup with Rose and returned home heartbroken. He then pursued a romance with Liz, a waitress manager at a local restaurant. Big Ed managed to convince Liz to date him, despite her initial resistance.
Throughout their relationship, Liz never seemed genuinely happy. However, in 2024, Liz’s appearance has changed significantly after her breakup with Big Ed, and she has reportedly started dating someone new. Liz began posting pictures with a mystery man in November 2023, attending events and sharing moments together on Instagram. Although Liz didn’t reveal the identity of her new partner, it was clear that it wasn’t Big Ed in the photos and videos. She continued to post content featuring her new man and even celebrated New Year’s with him, sharing a photo of them holding hands. Liz referred to him as her “stubborn princess” in one of her Instagram stories, showing him tying her shoelaces.
While Liz enjoyed her time with her new boyfriend in San Diego, Big Ed denied the rumors of their breakup during an Instagram Live session in December 2023, claiming they were still together and that he was happy. However, Liz is determined to move on from Big Ed and is not interested in entertaining his delusions. Her primary focus now is to distance herself from Big Ed and showcase her newfound happiness to the world after enduring a toxic relationship for years.
It’s worth noting that Liz has accused Big Ed of abusive behavior in the past. A leaked phone call between them circulated online in May 2021, revealing Big Ed’s alleged verbal and mental abuse towards Liz. In the call, Big Ed yelled at Liz for giving a co-worker a ride home, using abusive language and refusing to let her explain herself. Liz broke down in tears as Big Ed insulted and demeaned her. During the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 7 Tell All, Liz also claimed that Big Ed had kicked her out of his house and gave her a short time to find a new place to live.
Despite these red flags, Liz repeatedly returned to Big Ed, hoping for change or perhaps being unwilling to accept the truth about their relationship. Fans grew tired of urging Liz to break up with Big Ed, as she always seemed to go back to him. The significant age gap between them (28 years) and Big Ed’s insecurities about his appearance led to jealousy and control issues within the relationship. Big Ed’s criticism and Liz’s desire to expand her family may have ultimately made her realize that he wasn’t the right partner for her.
While rumors suggest that Big Ed and Liz will appear in the upcoming season of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, fans can piece together the puzzle to determine whether Liz was truly the villain in this relationship.
