Who was '90 Day Fiancé' star 'Big' Ed Brown previously married to?
'Big' Ed tied the knot to Sandra Heckman in 1990, and the couple share a daughter, Tiffany. However, the marriage was short-lived ending in just years owing to Big Ed's alleged infidelity. In the past, Big Ed has openly regretted his actions, calling his cheating a "stupid mistake." Brown's love life has been under the microscope thanks to his reality TV stints on '90 Day Fiancé: Before the '90 Days' and '90 Day: The Single Life'.
How many times was '90 Day Fiancé' star 'Big' Ed Brown engaged?
It seems like love has always been in the air for Big Ed as he's been engaged four times after his split from Heckman. However, his relationships have always been mired by controversy and criticism owing to his significant age gap with his partners and his treatment of them on the show.
His first engagement was to Rosemarie Vega, 23, from the Philippines whom he met on the show. Despite their age gap and cultural differences, Big Ed proposed to Vega, but their relationship ultimately ended due to his controlling behavior and dishonesty. Soon after the breakup, Brown shifted his attention to Liz Woods, a woman he met through mutual friends, and proposed to her during a romantic getaway to San Diego.
However, their relationship was also in hot water, with many bashing Brown's treatment of Woods and accusing him of emotional manipulation. The couple broke up briefly, only to rekindle their romance and get re-engaged.
In between his relationships with Woods, Brown also proposed to Kaory Castro, a Brazilian woman he met online, though this engagement was short-lived. Throughout his multiple engagements, Brown's behavior has raised eyebrows, with many questioning his motives and sincerity. Despite the criticism, Brown remains a fixture on the reality TV circuit, with fans eagerly following his latest romantic getaways.
