Ed, a 4'11" professional photographer nicknamed "Big Ed" because of his huge personality, has a 29-year-old daughter Tiffany, whom he had welcomed with his former wife. His marriage of two years apparently didn't work out because he was unfaithful.
Ed essentially gave up on finding love again for about eight years, but then he met Rosemarie -- whom he calls "Rose" -- on social media and, in his words, "everything changed."
Ed, claiming Rose was way out of his league and he was in love, became boyfriend and girlfriend with Rose, and he dubbed her a "queen" to his "king."
After four weeks of dating Rose, Ed began sending gifts to the Philippines, although it took quite some time for them to arrive. He spent over $5,000 on shipping and presents -- including shoes, pillows, and a grill for his girlfriend, who is single mom to a four-year-old son Prince.
Ed acknowledged family and friends were "skeptical" and "worried" about his new relationship, and his mother feared Rose was just interested in him for his money. Ed's daughter Tiffany was also upset about him dating a woman even younger than she.
But Ed believed Rose was The One and he was excited to finally be in a relationship a whole 28 years after his divorce.
Ed therefore purchased an engagement ring and planned a trip to the Philippines so he and Rose could finally meet in person and solidify their love.
Ed just hoped Rose would still want to be with him after finding out he's shorter than he said he was and wants to get a vasectomy. (Ed told Rose he was 5'2" and Rose has made it known she wants more kids).

Rose told the cameras she wants to get pregnant two more times and have a girl and another boy with Ed, so she had a big shock coming her way.
RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOWEd was then shown flying into Manila to meet Rose on the show, but Rose actually lived with her mother and sister three hours north of the city in a remote village with no plumbing or AC.
Ed thought Rose was stunning when he finally got to see her face-to-face, but Rose had been expecting her man to be a bit taller and thinner.
Rose's sister, Maria, however was totally fine with Ed's looks because she said "he is rich," and Rose looked forward to a better life and having a father for her beloved son.
Rose spent the night with Ed in a nice hotel and said she felt like a princess, and Ed remained a gentleman and suggested they sleep in separate beds as to not rush intimacy.
The next day, Ed surprised Rose with breakfast and bed and took her shopping in Manila, but the experience turned sour for Ed when Rose kept taking out his wallet to buy things and tip local vendors.
Ed called Rose's behavior "borderline inappropriate" and began worrying she and her sister were using him for money. Ed also grew fatigued and exhausted from walking around in the heat, so he called their date in the marketplace "a disaster."
Later on, while enjoying lunch at a restaurant, Ed noted Rose had a lot of friends on Facebook and that concerned him, and he asked if she was friends with any of her ex-boyfriends.
Rose said she met one of her exes on Facebook, but then she claimed she wasn't friends with any of her exes on Facebook. Ed was therefore confused and wondered if the language barrier was presenting problems for them.

Rose insisted she had blocked her ex and didn't speak to any other guys on social media, but she didn't want to dive into her past any deeper.
However, Rose shutting down didn't give Ed much reason to trust her.
Ed promised to stop asking about her ex-boyfriends and never bring them up again if Rose would be willing to take an STD test, but she was completely offended, "very hurt" and disappointed by his request.
Rose worried that Ed viewed her an "an easy girl" rather than a beloved girlfriend, and so she was angry. Rose told Ed that she loved him but wanted to go home by herself.
Before Rose left, she told Ed that Prince's father was a bachelor who moved on and got married and welcomed a child with someone else.
Rose said she had met Prince's father four years prior and had two serious relationships in her past, both of which left her hurt. Rose hated that Ed didn't trust her, and Ed felt he might have just ruined his relationship by harping on his girlfriend's past.
Ed woke up in his hotel room alone after a fight with Rose, and he was admittedly feeling regretful and upset.
"I may have lost Rose and I feel sick to my stomach. I have to fix this. I put way too much into this relationship not to," Ed said in a confessional.
Since she wasn't picking up her phone, Ed texted Rose through a language translation app and asked her to meet him at a cafe so they could talk face-to-face and he could explain himself. Ed hoped this was going to work or else he said he'd be devastated.

Ed apparently waited in the cafe for 90 minutes and feared his trip to the Philippines might've been all for nothing, but then Rose decided to show up.
Rose clearly wasn't happy, and after sitting down, she just said, "What?"

Rose said she was angry and still felt hurt, but Ed insisted in tears she didn't need to take the STD test and he would always love and trust her from that day forward.
Rose wanted a future with Ed, so she decided to give him another chance. Rose still wanted to be Ed's wife, but she felt the need to protect her heart going forward.
Ed asked Rose if she wanted to spend one more night with him in Manila so they could relax and enjoy each other's company before traveling to her village and meeting her parents and Prince.
Rose was totally onboard with that, and Ed felt "so happy" they were able to work things out. But they only had 19 days left together, so Ed began worrying they didn't have enough time to feel comfortable enough to get engaged.
Once the pair returned to Ed's hotel, he asked Rose to put her robe and slippers on for a day of relaxation, and he ordered a bottle of champagne for them to enjoy.
"I don't have her temperature yet when it comes to romance, but I want to show Rose how romantic I can be," Ed said in a confessional.

When Rose exited the hotel bathroom, he gave her a glass of champagne with a strawberry in it and toasted to his "queen." Ed then gave Rose a foot massage, but she seemed totally weirded out by it.
While rubbing her feet with oil, Ed asked Rose if he could kiss her. Rose allowed Ed to kiss her on the cheek, and then she let him give her a little sweet kiss on the lips.
Ed said the kiss was amazing and he wanted Rose to feel his love, but she appeared a little uncomfortable. The pair then exchanged professions of love.
After sleeping in the same bed that night, Rose refused to tell the cameras what happened the next morning. However, Ed shared that he and his girlfriend had "made love" and "it was awesome." Ed gushed about how he was on Cloud 9 and couldn't wait to have sex again.

Ed finally met Rose's "adorable" son Prince, who called Ed "Daddy," and Ed said he was "enamored with" the little boy.
Ed knew if he proposed to Rose, he was going to be a father again at 54 years old. Ed also met Rose's parents as well as Maria.
Based on what he observed, Ed began having doubts that Rose truly loved him. He worried he was Rose's ticket out of the Philippines and to a better life in America.
Ed's first night in Rose's village was apparently a nightmare. Ed said the 1,000-threat count sheets he had shipped Rose for her mattress pad never arrived and he was sweating and wet under a leaky roof.

Ed said his body felt "broken," and it didn't help when he had to bathe the next morning in a bucket -- with Rose's father watching.
"After seeing Rose's village and how she lives, it makes me wonder: Who wouldn't want to come to America for a better life?" Ed asked the cameras.
"I already have questions about money and her sister Maria, who asked me for money. Is that what it's all about for Rose... Am I just her meal ticket and her way out?"
Ed asked Rose's father if he could take Rose on a vacation in order to escape that environment and get to know each other under better circumstances, and Freddie obliged.
So are Ed and Rose still together or has the 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days couple split and broken up?
Ed and Rose's relationship appears to be over and done with, and Rose is making it known she's very hurt and angry.Rose took to her Instagram Live this past week and posted a video in which she blasted Ed for being full of lies. She claimed Ed doesn't love her or care about her and that he just wants to be famous.

"He did not give me any gifts except bra and panty. Everything out of his mouth are lies. They aren't true. He did not care about me or especially my son [Prince]. You always embarrass me."

Rose seems to be referring to Ed's claims he spent over $5,000 on gifts and shipping to provide her with shoes, pillows, a grill and other items she supposedly never received.
Ed also said in a recent episode of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days he had shipped Rose expensive new bedsheets for the couple to use while he was overseas but they had also never arrived.
Since Ed has not appeared to have said anything negative about Rose in the press in her numerous recent interviews, it appears Rose is slamming Ed for things he has said on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days.
For instance, Ed has questioned whether Rose was using him for money and a way out of the Philippines, and Ed also accused Rose's sister Maria of asking him for money in order to save her shop in the Philippines.
Ed told the cameras Maria had asked him not to tell Rose, but Ed wasn't sure whether Rose was in on it the entire time.
"You're always such a liar," Rose continued in her Instagram video. "People always ask Ed about my sister [asking] Ed for money. No, it's not true! He's a pig... It's not true. He always just lies."
"So please don't believe Ed. Always what he says is not true. He wants to be famous. That's all."
Rose concluded, "He [does] not love me. He [does] not care for me. He always embarrassed me, and I always [was] quiet. But I feel hurt right now. I want to say I feel hurt right now, so [he's] not caring [for] me. It's not true. It's not true. Please, don't believe Ed. It's not always true, what he said."
Rose has apparently also moved on, as screenshots began circulating online recently of her alleged Facebook page, which shows Rose announcing she's engaged.

In one photo Rose allegedly posted on March 10, she is flashing a silver sparkly ring on her ring finger and leaning in for a kiss on the lips -- with a person who appears to be a woman.
Reports swirled that Rose is engaged to a woman named Ejhay, who is also from the Philippines.
The Instagram account 187anonymousgossip reposted screenshots of the photos, including one of Rose and her partner smiling together in a selfie, earlier this month.
"I guess everyone was right, Rose is now engaged to a female and Big Ed says hes single," 187anonymousgossip captioned the selfie photo.
Rose, however, allegedly recently denied she's engaged to a woman in an Instagram reply to a follower.
"Is it true that you are [engaged] to a female from your country?" a follower asked Rose, according to a screenshot posted on Reddit.
"The rumor that I'm engaged to a woman is NOT TRUE. #stopthelies," Rose responded.
While the account 187anonymousgossip continues to stand by its original claim with photos retrieved from late February of Rose and her partner taking selfies, it's possible Rose's partner is a man with softer features.
"You cannot tell me this is not Rose.. That IS Rose for everyone who kept saying it wasnt on my previous posts. that's Rose's wall, Rose's son, that's Rose dammit! The date on this is February 22,2020," the Instagram account captioned the slideshow of photos. "#SoMuchDamnConfusion #CantDenyItNow #RoseVega #BigEd."

In response to the rumors Rose is engaged to a woman, Ed told Entertainment Tonight on April 16 he had "no idea" if it's true and hadn't heard the rumors until ET mentioned them to him.

"It's people grabbing information, and bits and bits of information, and they're just creating fake news. They don't know what's going on. I know what's going on in my heart."
Ed told ET in a March interview that he and Rose were "in a really good place," but Rose clearly disagrees, or the former couple's dynamic has changed drastically over the last few weeks.
"That's all I can say," he noted at the time, adding that his relationship was "real" and he has "no regrets" from his 90 Day Fiance experience overall.
Ed teased in the ET interview his journey with Rose on the show is "going to be a roller coaster" for viewers with "a lot of ups and downs."
"It's the most surreal experience I've ever done in my life, that I'll probably ever do in my life. You have to stay tuned. It's going to get crazy -- good crazy... I don't think I could've made a bigger fool of myself," Ed joked.
"When you're in love, you're not thinking about anybody else but yourself and the person you're in love with."
"It's going to be exciting," the photographer added. "It's going to be a lot of fun, a lot of heartbreak, a lot of emotions. You just gotta pay attention. You've got to watch the show."
