90 Day Fiance star ‘Big’ Ed Brown reveals his glamorous daughter Tiffany didn’t speak to him for a year and a half because she ‘couldn’t handle’ his reality TV fame

Reality TV star ‘Big’ Ed Brown has revealed how his only child stopped speaking to him for a year and a half after he became a household name starring in the hit TLC series 90 Day Fiancé.

In an exclusive sit-down interview with DailyMail.com, Ed opened up about his “beautiful” daughter Tiffany and how “people took after her” when he was catapulted to fame in 2020.

When asked how Tiffany, 32, deals with his celebrity status, Ed replied, “She walked away,” further confirming that she had nothing to do with him for about 18 months.

‘We didn’t talk for about a year and a half, we had no contact. People were coming after her and she couldn’t handle it and she started to get depressed and her mother said, “Ed, she had to withdraw.”

Ed, who recently shared his regrets over the way he dumped fiancée Liz Woods, continued: “And I left her alone. I didn’t want her to be part of the public spectacle.’

Tiffany’s mother is Sandra “Sandy” Heckman, who was married to Ed for a short time before they divorced in 1992.

Referring to Tiffany’s glamorous looks and her heritage, Ed explained: ‘Her mother is Portuguese, and my mother is Spanish, Mexican, German and Irish, so she has some really good genes. She is beautiful.’

The father-daughter duo seems to be on much better terms these days, and last month Tiffany shared a sweet birthday post on Instagram to mark Ed’s special day on April 28.

Tiffany, who works at Omalza Fitness Las Vegas, captioned the sweet montage video: “Happy Birthday Dad! Now that it’s officially your birthday. Best wishes to you! Love you!’

However, the brunette didn’t know how old Ed actually was and thought he would turn 60 a year early, which Ed described as a “funny story.”

‘Well, my daughter asked her mother, “How old is dad now?” and she says, “He’s three years older than me,” that’s all she said to her.

“So she surprised me, they threw a big surprise party and I see ’60’ on the cake and I’m like, ‘I’m not 60’ and she’s like, ‘Yes, you are,’ and I’m like, ‘No, I’m not that!”

“So I turned 59 this year, but I’m actually going to count backwards, so next year I’ll be 58.” Ed revealed before admitting that ‘age is just a number.’

The 59-year-old revealed his daughter ‘started getting depressed’ when people ‘started chasing her’

“I have a lot of friends that I’m getting reacquainted with now because I went to high school [with] and we talk about that like, ‘look, yeah, we might be 58, 59, but we feel… mentally we’re 30.'”

‘I don’t want to grow old. I started dying my hair again and my daughter said, “Don’t dye your hair!” Ed revealed.

TLC fans will remember that Ed once admitted to putting mayonnaise in his hair during an unforgettable episode of 90 Day Fiancé.

When asked by DailyMail.com if he would ever do that again, Ed replied: “Absolutely, because it’s killing me again,” before admitting that the seasoning “stinks” when used as a hair product.
