90 Days of Engagement Star Liz already moved from Big Ed and opened up about her new boyfriend to ET. ET’s Melicia Johnson sat down with Liz to talk about the heartbreaking breakup and Ed and she also responded. Ed’s interesting comments to ET about his girlfriend.
Ed defense of Liz for good in this season of 90 Day Engagement: Happily Ever After? despite both break up and get back together several times a month. Ed callously called their wedding without even telling her, and Liz told ET the experience was “traumatizing.” But after their breakup, they find love again by accident. Liz shares her new boyfriend’s reaction to Ed – who is one of the most recognizable faces in the world 90 Days of Engagement franchise – to be his ex.
“He said if I ever talk to you like Ed once talked to you, you better tell my family and get away from me right away,” she told ET. “He said that I shouldn’t worry about paying as much as I did and that he would continue to grow with me as a person, and he really has been by my side and allowed me to heal and grow as a person without asking. I would change one thing.
“Yeah, so when he found out (Ed is my ex) he had a lot to deal with, but he wasn’t just like a blanket for me,” she continued.
In an interview with ET, Ed revealed that he has met his girlfriend Liz, calling him an “idiot.” But he also has some doubts about their relationship, because he feels that Liz has some issues that still need to be fixed. Ed told ET in part, “I mean I like her … my only concern is that we all have things to work on and deal with and if we don’t she’s going to rear her ugly head. And I’m afraid she won’t … she won’t last because Liz will never go through the same thing as me.
Liz disagreed with that comment.
“I don’t think Ed walked through the mirror,” Liz said. “Don’t suggest that you can’t take your own advice. I don’t appreciate that comment. I think he should take that self-reflection. … If you’ve talked about my relationship, there’s always something you’re still holding on to, so.”
But Liz admits she has some things to work on with two previous failed marriages and a failed engagement with Ed.
“I like red flags,” he says, laughing about his past relationships. “No, there is a pattern. There is a very big pattern… I think from the beginning I was also always independent, but then I grew up, I was happy, I grew up so much that I felt like I didn’t really have a father figure in my life, so maybe there were some problems there.”
“It could be a father issue, there’s just a pattern with me being more in touch, like he’s telling me what to do,” he continued. “It’s easy for me to take direction and I can give direction, but I’ve always let people have the upper hand and people are more in control. I’ve never felt the same and I know there’s a pattern because all my relationships have been the same.”
But Liz shared how things have changed since her split from Ed.
“I’ve set a lot of boundaries,” she notes. “I speak my mind all the time. I don’t hold onto things. I think the hardest thing is to solve the problems that bother me, instead of bottling them up. I always feel like I’m in a free place. Now I can express my emotions and say how I feel But as far as as a pattern, I have definitely not chosen a healthy relationship I have been in a relationship where I also help others change, no Yes, I like to fix people.”
Liz sees nothing but positive attributes when it comes to newcomers.
“This man allowed me to experience all my emotions, allowed me to change, he never asked me to change,” she said. “There were times when I actually cried with this person about Ed at the beginning because, like friends and others. — I wasn’t given permission — but I said you have to open up through every emotion, say what you have to say, what to do to close this thing I’m the one who took a lot for people to come into your life and do what I’ve never been asked to change, I can go out I can hang out with friends, I can say what I feel… I’ve heal a lot, I smile, I’m in a good mood.
Liz says that her boyfriend has found her his daughter, Riley. If she’s done with reality TV now that she and Ed have ended their relationship, she’s not sure. But like Ed also told ET about his attitude remained on the showhe didn’t want the camera to affect his progress in life.
“That’s a question I can’t answer, but I don’t want anything to happen to my current health in my life and the time it took to get here,” he said.
