Big Ed Brown rose to fame on season 3 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. His relationship with his then-girlfriend Rosemarie Vega didn’t work out but his time on the show did solidify him in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise and secure his spot in several spinoffs. Since first appearing on the show, Brown has been looking for love and he recently got a serious makeover to assist in his search.

’90 Day Fiancé’ star Big Ed Brown lied about his looks

Before meeting Vega, Big Ed wasn’t honest about what he looked like. He had been dying his hair to look more youthful, which in turn dried his scalp out, causing him to have to use mayonnaise on his hair. When he finally met Vega, she was shocked at his appearance.

“So, I wasn’t completely honest with Rose about [my height] and a couple of other things,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s never a good idea to lie. You have to be honest and I’m learning that even if you have strong feelings for someone, it’s better to get it out in the open. If not, it’s gonna come back and bite you.”

Big Ed and Rose’s breakup

Though Vega initially agreed to continue dating Big Ed after discovering his lies, they eventually became too much for her.

“I know who [you are]. I think,” Vega said to him on the show. “First [you] lied to me about [your] height. Right? Then, you want to give me an STD test right? And about mouthwash, why you tell me? You know I [am] sick, I have [an] ulcer.

“I’m disappointed because you always embarrassed me,” she continued. “I think [you] don’t love me. I’m done.”

The transformation

Big Ed has been focusing on becoming healthier over the past few months and has been spending a lot of time in the gym. According to ScreenRant, the reality star has lost 25 pounds in just a few months. Recently, he took to Instagram and posted a TikTok showing off his slimmed body. In addition to trimming down, Big Ed cut his signature long locks.

“Let’s go put in the time with no excuse and look what can happen..!” Brown captioned a photo of his progress.

“Look so much better Omggg,” one fan commented.

“OMG YAAAAAAAS!!! I’m so happy you decided to cut your hair! It looks soo good! Don’t color it either, you are rocking the salt & pepper,” another fan wrote.

“Your hair looks so good! The salt & pepper is great too,” another person said.

“The change started within and now it’s radiating on the outside too!” one fan commented. “Well done!”

“Your hard work is paying off! Great job, that’s not easy to do. Love the new haircut!” another person echoed.
