Ed “Big Ed” Brown’s hands are clean, he says.
He 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After The frontman denied being active on dating apps during his engagement to Elizabeth “Liz” Woods, even as she pulled out the receipts. In front of the revealing group, Liz showed an apparent screenshot of Ed’s active status on an Asian dating website, but he continued to maintain his innocence.
“It’s not me,” Ed said.
Liz showed a screenshot of Ed’s presumed active status that she got from a fake account, which said “two hours ago.” “Prove it was me,” she replied. They closed the conversation by acknowledging that Ed’s laptop would say it all, but left it in his hotel room.
Andrei suggested that someone retrieve the laptop so the discussion could end, though it was not mentioned again thereafter.
The conflict comes after Ed ended his engagement to Liz, again, during last week’s revealing episode. As his romantic drama heated up, Ed asked Liz to return his engagement ring as the cameras rolled.
Ed’s ex-fiancée, Rosemarie “Rose” Vega, whom viewers have known since her first appearance on 90 Day Fiancé: Before 90 DaysHe also revealed at the time that he had been in contact with her during his relationship with Liz.
Looking at the dates of Ed’s text messages with Rose, Liz realized that the communication occurred one day before Ed proposed to her.
He denied the encounters until Rose shared the screenshots, in which case, Ed maintained that he did not remember the conversations. Later, Ed expressed some regret at how he handled the situation, but he’s still not ready to reconcile.
“I’m not going to return the ring. Not today,” Ed told the cameras. “I don’t know if I ever will.
In a conversation with Angela Deem, he added: “I love her,” from Liz. “I want to spend the rest of my life with her, but I don’t know how,” adding that he doesn’t “know how to be in a relationship.”
During the episode, Ed also admitted that he currently “can’t accept who [Liz] is”, which makes him question their connection.
Ed and Liz’s relationship has been a roller coaster throughout the season. At first, they had a fight and a temporary breakup, after Ed accused Liz of secretly being a lesbian. Although she strongly denied being attracted to women, Ed clung to an encounter with her co-worker, which he perceived as flirtatious.
Although they have since repaired their connection, Ed and Liz no longer live together. Apparently, in another off-camera breakup, Ed asked Liz to move out. They’ve been hanging out ever since, splitting time between Ed’s house and his own space, which works well for Ed.
“When she’s upset, or I’m upset, we break up. And we don’t fight,” he said on the series, adding that “s — it’s gone down.” “Being apart, I’ve never felt more secure in our relationship since I met her. I’m not jealous.”
However, Liz is not convinced of the new deal. “It’s not fair to constantly walk away and push myself back because I’m on my last straw,” Liz replied.
