Five years have passed since Rose Vega’s captivating relationship with Big Ed Brown was first broadcasted on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Initially, Big Ed was a seasoned photographer based in San Diego, navigating life after a lengthy singlehood of 30 years post-divorce. His journey took an unexpected turn when he connected with Rose, a single mother from the Philippines who was 31 years his junior. Their romance ignited after they met through Facebook, leading to Ed flying out to see her on the show.
From the beginning, Big Ed was less than honest with Rose, concealing important details about his height and his intention to undergo a vasectomy, which contradicted Rose’s aspirations to expand her family. Ed’s height issues stemmed from Klippel-Feil syndrome, which gave him the appearance of having no neck. Adding to the complexities of their relationship, Big Ed, who famously used mayonnaise in his hair to appear younger for Rose, criticized her lifestyle and even made derogatory remarks about her living conditions and personal hygiene. Ultimately, Rose recognized the toxicity in their relationship and decided to part ways with Big Ed.

Had it not been for 90 Day Fiancé, Rose Vega might have remained an unknown figure.

Following the show, Rose experienced a significant transformation, adopting a glamorous new look that featured bold makeup and revamped hairstyles, enticing brands to view her as a potential influencer.
“She overcame everything that was meant to destroy her.”
By October 2020, Rose showcased her stunning transformation, which included wavy pink hair, striking silver makeup, and a lovely tan. This marked the beginning of her modeling career, as she evolved into a prominent online influencer, collaborating with various beauty and wellness brands. Furthermore, she successfully launched her YouTube channel, revitalized the home showcased on 90 Day Fiancé, and even acquired a new residence.

In the meantime, Big Ed garnered notoriety for a variety of reasons, establishing his presence in the reality television realm. He made a comeback on the franchise through 90 Day: The Single Life, where he found a romantic interest in Liz Woods, a waitress at one of his favorite restaurants in San Diego. Their bond began to grow during the pandemic, as Liz appreciated Ed’s kindness towards her daughter, Ryleigh. She claimed to have witnessed an alternate side of Ed beyond his public persona.
However, their relationship proved to be riddled with conflict, leading to Ed’s assertion that Liz’s “hidden temper”was untenable, culminating in 15 breakups over the course of their turbulent romance. Just before an anticipated wedding in August 2023, Big Ed abruptly terminated their engagement without prior notice. Despite Liz’s pleas for reconciliation, Big Ed’s refusal left her heartbroken, yet she has since moved on with a new boyfriend, Jayson Zuniga, who appears to be a significant upgrade.
