Some couples are known for their on-again, off-again dynamics, constantly cycling between breakups and reconciliations and the love story of Edward “Big Ed” Brown and Elizabeth “Liz” Woods has followed a similar path. Their relationship first unfolded on-screen during the debut season of TLC’s ’90 Day: The Single Life’, and in the many spin-offs and seasons that followed, viewers repeatedly witnessed their emotional highs, public fallouts, and dramatic reunions. By season 8 of ’90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?’, the couple found themselves once again at a crossroads and were facing serious issues, yet still determined to make the relationship work.
Ed and Liz Broke Up and Got Together Many Times During Their Relationship
Edward “Big Ed” Brown first entered the ’90 Day Fiancé’ universe while pursuing a relationship with Rosemarie “Rose” Vega from the Philippines. However, their romance ended on a sour note. Later, while dining at a restaurant in San Diego, California, Ed met Elizabeth “Liz” Woods, who was working there as a waitress. Their relationship began to take shape in early 2021, but it was anything but stable. After a brief romance, the two broke up. When Ed’s beloved dog passed away in August of that year, Liz sent him flowers, and that gesture rekindled their connection. They soon got back together, and by November 2021, they were engaged. Despite their engagement, the issues between them only escalated. Liz accused Ed of being unfaithful, while Ed questioned Liz’s honesty, particularly about a past relationship with another woman.
Even their engagement party ended in conflict, with Ed publicly declaring the relationship over shortly afterward. The couple entered therapy in an attempt to work through their differences, but by 2023, they had reportedly broken up and reconciled at least 17 times. Although some reports claim they secretly married in August 2023, neither of them confirmed it publicly. Eventually, during one of their televised appearances, Liz revealed that Ed had called off the wedding without even consulting her. By mid-2023, after numerous ups and downs, the relationship appeared to have ended for good and was driven by long-standing trust issues and miscommunication. While their journey was filled with passion and drama, it ultimately led to heartbreak, with Liz seemingly drawing the line on their tumultuous love story.
Ed and Liz are No Longer in Each Other’s Lives
Given the rocky timeline and unpredictable nature of Liz and Ed’s relationship, it’s always been hard to tell where they stood, but this time, it appears to be over for good. In October 2023, even before the couple publicly confirmed their breakup, Liz revealed she had started dating a man named Jayson Zuniga, whom she met during a run. Meanwhile, by mid-2024, Ed had also moved on and began dating Porscha Raymond, a fan he met at a meet-and-greet event. However, both of these new relationships also came to an end. As of May 2025, Liz confirmed that she and Jayson had broken up. He allegedly cheated on her while she was undergoing chemotherapy.
Ed, too, has since ended things with Porscha and has publicly stated that he now intends to date women closer to his age, perhaps in an effort to avoid the same patterns from his past. Though they’ve both continued to make headlines with their respective dating lives, there seems to be no indication of a reconciliation between Liz and Ed. After years of breakups and public fights, the two appear to have finally gone their separate ways, each focusing on their own healing, growth, and future outside of one another.
Ed and Liz are Charting Their Professional Paths Separately Today
Ed has transitioned from his earlier careers in photography and interior design to working in real estate. Alongside his professional shift, he continues to maintain a presence as a popular reality TV personality and is active on Cameo. Based in Arkansas, he has also become more focused on his physical health, frequently hitting the gym. He’s shown support for charitable causes, including the Remembering Nicholas Foundation. In his personal life, Ed seems content and recently welcomed a new dog named Levi into his home.
As of the latest reports since December 2024, Liz has been working as a server at The Woodshop at McMenamins Anderson School in Washington and also at the Thrashers Corner Pub in Bothell. Her daughter, Ryleigh, remains the heart of her world. Balancing her roles as a mom, public figure, and social media personality, she appears to be grounded and moving forward with purpose.
