Reality TV star ‘Big’ Ed Brown has revealed how his only child stopped speaking to him for a year and a half after he became a household name starring on the hit TLC series 90 Day Fiancé.
In an exclusive sit-down interview with DailyMail.com, Ed opened up about his ‘beautiful’ daughter Tiffany and how ‘people went after her’ when he was catapulted to fame back in 2020.
When asked how Tiffany, 32, deals with him being famous, Ed replied: ‘She walked away,’ and went on to confirm that she had nothing to do with him for around 18 months.
‘We didn’t talk for about a year and a half – we had no contact. People went after her and she couldn’t handle it and she actually started to get depressed and her mom was like, “Ed, she had to pull out.”‘
Ed, who recently shared his regret over how he dumped fiancée Liz Woods, continued: ‘And I left her alone. I didn’t want her to be part of the public spectacle.’

Tiffany’s mother is Sandra ‘Sandy’ Heckman, who was married to Ed for a short period of time before they got divorced in 1992.
Referring to Tiffany’s glamorous look and her heritage, Ed explained: ‘Her mom’s Portuguese, and my mom’s Spanish, Mexican, German, Irish, so she got some really good genes. She is beautiful.’
The dad-daughter duo appear to be on much better terms these days, and just last month, Tiffany shared a sweet birthday post on Instagram to mark Ed’s special day on April 28.
Tiffany, who works at Omalza Fitness Las Vegas, captioned the sweet montage video: ‘Happy Birthday Dad! Now that it’s officially your birthday. Best of wishes to you! Love you!’
However, the brunette wasn’t aware of how old Ed actually was and thought he was turning 60 a year early, which Ed described as a ‘funny story.’
‘Well, my daughter had asked her mom, “how old is dad now?” and she’s like, “he’s three years older than me,” that’s all she said to her.
‘So, she surprises me, they threw a big surprise party and I see “60” on the cake and I’m like, “I’m not 60” and she goes, “yeah, you are,” and I’m like, “no, I’m not!”
‘So I did turn 59 this year, but I’m actually gonna count backwards so next year I’ll be 58.’ Ed revealed before admitting that ‘age is just a number.’

The 59-year-old revealed that his daughter ‘started to get depressed’ when people ‘went after her’
‘I have a lot of friends that I’m now being reacquainted with that I went to high school [with] and we talk about that like, “look, yeah we might be 58, 59, but we feel… mentally we’re 30.”‘
‘I don’t want to get old. I started to dye my hair again and my daughter’s like, “don’t dye your hair!”‘ Ed divulged.
TLC fans will remember that Ed once admitted to putting mayonnaise in his hair during an unforgettable episode of 90 Day Fiancé.
When DailyMail.com asked him if he would ever do that again, Ed replied: ‘Absolutely, because I’m dying it again,’ before admitting that the condiment ‘stinks’ when used as a hair product.
