Reality TV star Ed "Big Ed" Brown of "90 Day Fiancé" fame has reportedly become engaged to 29-year-old Porscha Raemond after a whirlwind 24-hour courtship. The engagement, first reported by TMZ on September 16, 2024, occurred at a fan meet-and-greet event at Capriotti's sandwich shop in Plantation, Florida.
Brown, 59, known for his tumultuous romantic history on various "90 Day Fiancé" spin-offs, reportedly proposed to Raemond during a meal, using a makeshift ring fashioned from a paper clip due to the impromptu nature of the proposal. Sources close to Brown insist the engagement is "definitely real," despite its unconventional circumstances.
This latest development comes just months after Brown's previous relationship ended. In February 2024, his former fiancée, Elizabeth "Liz" Woods, confirmed their split on social media. The couple had been known for their on-again, off-again relationship, reportedly breaking up and reconciling more than a dozen times throughout their tumultuous romance.
Brown's journey to find love has been well-documented on TLC's reality shows. He first gained notoriety in 2020 on "90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days," where his relationship with Filipino national Rose Vega ended after disagreements about having children. Subsequently, Brown appeared on "90 Day: The Single Life," where he met and became engaged to Woods.
In a June 2024 interview with PEOPLE magazine, Brown reflected on his relationship with Woods, stating, "Liz would always do my hair, which was really awesome. It's moments like this that I'm glad they showed because there was definitely a very loving side of Liz,that I'll always miss."
Brown's romantic history extends beyond his reality TV appearances. He was previously married to Sandra Heckman, with whom he shares a daughter, Tiffany. According to TMZ, their marriage ended in 1992 due to Brown's alleged infidelity.
The "90 Day Fiancé" franchise has yet to comment officially on whether Brown's new relationship will feature in upcoming episodes. As this story develops, it continues to captivate audiences, highlighting the unpredictable nature of reality TV romances and the public's enduring fascination with rapid courtships in the spotlight.
