90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star Liz Woods and boyfriend Jayson Zuniga’s relationship has been the talk of the town since his debut in the Tell All and Big Ed Brown predicting the couple wouldn’t stay together for over six months. Liz began her reality TV journey as Big Ed’s girlfriend in 90 Day: The Single Life season 1. He had been a regular at the restaurant where she worked and had said yes when Big Ed asked her out. Single mom Liz had been in a bad place after two failed marriages and Big Ed gave her hope.
Big Ed and Liz’s toxic relationship ended during the first season itself, but instead of treating their split as a lesson, the couple got engaged immediately after reconciling. They broke up 13 more times after that, which Big Ed claimed was due to Liz’s short temper. Big Ed never admitted that he was at fault too for being a hypocrite and wanting to play the victim under all circumstances. Their last split was documented on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 after which Liz moved on with a new man named Jayson.
