Ed's weight loss journey began after his breakup with Liz, which was captured on 90 Day Fiancé. (He was previously engaged to Rose Vega, also featured on the show.)

According to Ed, he realized a few months ago that the relationship wasn't working out and he wasn't happy. Reflecting on a recent argument shown on the series, he mentioned the taco pasta night where Liz had a meltdown, a side of her that his sister had never seen before. His sister's reaction was clear - "Don't do it."

Ed recalled his mother's warning, "Go ahead and marry her, but you’ll be miserable for the rest of your life." This thought kept replaying in his mind.

He humorously named the incident "Pasta Gate," and it was the breaking point. The following morning, Ed made the decision to cancel the wedding. (Ed and Liz had been engaged since November 2021.)

"We never addressed our problems together," he shared with Us, mentioning that they would just ignore them instead of facing them head-on. "We never learned how to handle those issues, which eventually led me to realize that I didn't want to continue the relationship."

The reality star expressed his "regrets" regarding the way their breakup unfolded. He revealed to Us that he was unhappy with how Liz learned about their separation. Ed mentioned that there was no ideal way to deliver the news, so he had to end things abruptly.
