Safe to say this wasn’t on anyone’s 2026 bingo card.

Rumors of Big Ed Brown and ex-girlfriend Rose Vega getting back together are abundant, and the main person fueling the gossip is Rose herself. The Philippines native has posted no less than 15 times about potentially rekindling her relationship with Ed and healing her vision of romance. 

Fans of 90 Day Fiancé watched Ed and Rose’s romance play out five years ago on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, with Ed taking a trip to the Philippines that turned disastrous after he gifted Rose a toothbrush to remedy her “not pretty” breath and requested over dinner that she take an STD test. 

To nobody’s surprise– except maybe Ed’s– the couple’s relationship didn’t survive the trip. However, Rose’s Instagram has recently painted a picture of possible reconnection. 

Her first post on Thursday featured clips from her and Ed’s season of “Before the 90 Days” with text overlaid reading, “Maybe the reason I haven’t met the right man… is because of you.” 

She then posted, “Maybe I haven’t found the right man yet…because our story needs a second chapter.”

“Maybe the universe didn’t let me meet the right man yet because our story wasn’t finished,” she captioned the post. “Life is crazy like that– plot twists, lessons, healing, and unexpected reunions. I never imagined we’d cross paths again… but here we are.” 

Rose went on to comment on her post, asking, “Do you want a second chance… or was the first one enough?” 

Rose’s follow-up posts have been just as cryptic. On Friday, she shared similar clips from her and Ed’s “90 Day Fiancé” journey, along with the text, “Not late. Just perfect timing. Years of waiting taught me patience… and standards.” 

“The universe doesn’t use clocks. It uses alignment,” she continued in her caption. “Sometimes it takes years for two timelines to match, two hearts to open up, and two souls to recognize each other. When it’s right, it just happens. It’s destiny… you’ll see. Stay tuned.” 

Fans are (rightfully) shocked that Rose appears to be considering a reunion with Ed, with one person pointing out that she “isn’t even following [Ed on Instagram] but wants us to believe they are restarting.”

Others agreed that the slew of online posts made by Rose seem fake. 

“Kinda want to unfollow at this point [because] she’s dragging it on for engagement,” one person wrote in the comment section of one of Rose’s lovesick posts. “It’s getting old though.” 

In response to those advising her to stay away from Ed, Rose made a post arguing that this may finally be “the right time for a second chance after everything.” 

“We’ve seen what life looks like without each other… and maybe that’s why this second chance makes sense,” she captioned the post. 

While Ed hasn’t responded to Rose’s post-a-thon or posted anything similar to his own Instagram page, the TLC star has been in contact with his ex recently. As The Ashley reported last month, Ed shared on the KTU Radio Show that he and Rose are looking to create a reality show together after a failed Asian dating show pitch. 

“It wasn’t going to work out,” Ed explained, while noting that he was intrigued by the idea of collaborating with Rose. 

“The four of us [Ed, Rose, and their managers] were knocking out some ideas of what we can do and we’re kind of toying with the idea where we travel and I’m trying to find love and she’s my dating coach,” he detailed, later assuring fans that he was “not looking for anything romantic with Rose.” 

Despite talks of a potential reality show collab, neither Ed nor Rose have confirmed the rumors of their reconciliation and there’s a really solid chance that Rose’s latest social media posts are nothing but an attempt to score herself and Ed a spot on a future “90 Day Fiancé” spin-off.
