90 Day Fiance star Big Ed, 59, steps out alone in NYC… after whirlwind engagement to Porscha Raemond, 29

90 Day Fiance star Big Ed Brown was spotted out alone in New York City on Friday, days after his spontaneous proposal to Porscha Raemond.

The 59-year-old reality television sensation — who popped the question 24 hours after meeting 29-year-old Porscha — wore a dark V-neck T-shirt and matching joggers during the solo outing.

He sported a navy blue New York Yankees baseball cap and added white, orange, and black sneakers as he grabbed coffee.

Missing from the scene was Ed’s fiancée, to whom he proposed with a paperclip in lieu of an engagement ring. 

Big Ed looked smitten with Raemond as he proposed last weekend at YOLO restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but the two have not been seen together since that evening.

Using a paperclip that he borrowed from the restaurant’s manager, Ed presented an impromptu ‘engagement ring’ and asked Porscha to marry him.

Ed was in Plantation, Florida for a meet-and-greet at a sandwich shop called Capriotti’s when he first laid eyes on the young brunette.

Despite the speedy timeline, sources told TMZ the engagement is real.

Ed later told Page Six that upon meeting Porscha, it was ‘love at first sight.’

‘So I’m there carrying out these big sandwiches with sparklers. It’s crazy. And in walks this beautiful Italian dish. Her name is Porscha,’ he told the publication.

He added, ‘She comes up, gives me the warmest hug. She gives me a big kiss on the cheek.’

Following his engagement, Big Ed appeared on the podcast Stefs Rock Show and shared his plan for a bachelor party on Sunday.

It comes months after he opened up about his regret over dumping Liz Woods.

Brown rose to fame when he first appeared on the TLC reality series 90 Day Fiancé in 2020.

He was engaged to Rosemarie ‘Rose’ Vega during the show’s season four installment, but following the end of their courtship, he became involved with Woods.

Big Ed and Liz got engaged in 2021 but ended their romance in April this year.

He shares adult daughter Tiffany with ex-wife Sandra Heckman, from whom he split in 1992. 

Ed said of his latest engagement, ‘For me, this was the realest thing ever. For [my family], everybody is freaking out, including my daughter. But in my heart… I can’t wait.’
