Ed “Big Ed” Brown has confirmed the end of his 24-hour engagement.
Just one week after the 90 Day Fiance alum, 59, proposed to Porscha Raemond, 29, a day after meeting at a meet-and-greet event in Florida, Ed has decided he doesn’t want to get married and described the whirlwind proposal as “very impulsive.”
“Love is a crazy thing and, you know, I did something that was impulsive, I asked this girl to marry me and after considering, you know, it’s too soon and it’s not really what I want, obviously. And after talking to my family, I realized that um, I don’t wanna get married. I wanna be single. So I wish her – Porscha – the best in life,” Ed told his fans and followers in an Instagram video on September 23.
“I’m gonna be single for a while, I think. That’s the best move,” he concluded.
Around the same time, Ed shared a message on his Instagram Story.
“Hey everyone, I want to take a moment to address some recent developments in my personal life. As many of you know, I recently proposed in what was a whirlwind and admittedly, a very impulsive moment,” he stated. “After some deep reflection and discussions with those closest to me, I’ve realized that rushing into this decision wasn’t the right move. I have nothing but respect and love for Porscha and I wish her the best moving forward.”
As 90 Day Fiance fans will recall, Ed proposed to Porscha at a restaurant in Fort Lauderdale earlier this month, presenting her with a makeshift engagement ring made out of a paperclip.
“I met her at Capriotti’s in Plantation on Friday where I was doing a Big Ed Meet & Greet,” he told Page Six shortly thereafter. “They serve the most delicious subs I have ever tried and everyone should know you could meet the next love of your life there!”
Also speaking to Page Six, an insider described Ed’s proposal, telling the outlet, “He was feeling it, so in the moment he took a paperclip from the restaurant manager and fashioned a ring out of it!”
