In 2022, former 90 Day Fiancé duo Big Ed Brown and Rosemarie Vega’s lives are on different paths. However, the American man and Filipina single mother do have some lifestyle similarities despite having parted ways.
Rose and Big Ed had one of the most publicized relationships in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. The duo became an overnight sensation when they made their relationship public on TLC. Big Ed was slammed by viewers for being rude to Rose and insulting her body and living situation. Big Ed had far more material items than Rose. However, the single mother chose not to compromise herself for anyone else. This led to Rose dumping Big Ed and becoming single to the delight of 90 Day Fiancé viewers.
In 2022, Rose achieved enormous success. While Rose was previously impoverished and Big Ed was wealthy, both halves of the former couple have since done well for themselves. However, they have chosen to make money in different ways. Big Ed has continued in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise and profited from his notoriety. Meanwhile, Rose chose to leave the franchise and instead launched a successful YouTube career. She has also worked as a model. Therefore, both Rose and Big Ed have become successful public figures with lucrative careers following their breakup even though they pursued other interests.
While Big Ed and Rose have both found financial success since entering the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, they have each also found love. Big Ed has had a hard time dating, but he is currently engaged to his 90 Day: The Single Life costar Liz Woods. Meanwhile, Rose recently became social media official with her boyfriend Greg Scherwinski. While Big Ed and Liz have a messy and complicated relationship that featured a public breakup and a verbally abusive leaked call of Big Ed harassing Liz, Rose and Greg appear to have a healthy and happy romance. Both Big Ed and Rose opted for age-gapped relationships as Liz is nearly three decades younger than Big Ed, and Greg is nearly three decades older than Rose.
Overall, both 90 Day Fiancé franchise stars Big Ed and Rose have moved on to find success and love in 2022. However, they have received very different public perceptions. Rose is considered a feminist icon in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise after she refused to compromise herself for anyone. Many viewers support her finding happiness with Greg. In contrast, Big Ed and Liz are panned by many viewers for their unhealthy relationship. Big Ed is still considered one of the least likable 90 Day Fiancé franchise cast members of all time.
90 Day Fiancé airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
