“After some deep reflection and discussions with those closest to me, I’ve realised that rushing into this decision wasn’t the right move.”
He continued: “Love is a crazy thing… I did something that was impulsive, I asked this girl to marry me.”
Big Ed said he realised the engagement was “too soon” and in the end, ”not what I really want”.
“And after talking to my family, I realised I don’t want to get married. I want to be single.”
“I’m going to be single for a while, I think,” he later added. ”That’s the best move.”
Big Ed said he had nothing but respect and love for Porscha and wished her the best in life moving forward.
The reality star also thanked his fans for sticking by his side.

Things looked very different days earlier.
The reality star was giddy as he revealed he had popped the question to his former fiancée 24 hours after meeting her, he unveiled to Page Six.
It was “love at first sight”, Big Ed told the publication.
“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 said of their meeting.
“She comes up, gives me the warmest hug. … She gives me a big kiss on the cheek.”
The following night he took her out for dinner.
Ed got down on one knee and proposed with a makeshift paperclip ring.
Big Ed told the publication that he and Porscha instantly “hit it off” so he asked her to dinner the following night with friends. In that moment, he knew he wanted to marry her.

“I said, ‘Look I never want to let you go. I think I met the one. I want to marry you.’ And she said, ‘Yes,’ and we hugged and we kissed,” he told Page Six.
“I’m in love,” he added at the time.
Big Ed appeared on Season 4 of TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days in early 2020 and was engaged to fellow star Rose Vega.
The reality star was known for the controversial way he treated Vega in the series – he kept his vasectomy a secret and asked her to get an STD test – resulting in their split and his subsequent apology.
Following their breakup, Big Ed was engaged to Elizabeth “Liz” Woods. The pair had a whirlwind relationship on the first season of the TLC reality series 90 Day: The Single Life.
