Big Ed Brown is James Caldwellsaying goodbye to his 24-hour fiancée. 

Less than a week after announcing his engagement, the 90 Day Fiancé star revealed that he and Porscha Raemond—who he proposed to just one day after meeting her at a fan event—have called it quits. 

"Love is a crazy thing, and I did something impulsive—I asked this girl to marry me," Ed explained in a video shared to his Instagram Sept. 23. "After considering, it's too soon and it's not really what I want obviously."

And the 59-year-old didn't make the difficult decision on his own, noting that he discussed the breakup with his family. 

"I realized that I don't want to get married," he continued. "I want to be single."

As for how he feels about Porscha, the reality TV personality has no ill will toward his ex. As he put, "I wish her, Porscha, the best in life."

Ed added, "I'm gonna be single for a while I think. That's the best move."

Just a few days prior to announcing their split, Ed—who shares daughter Tiffany, 29, with ex-wife Sandra Heckman—detailed the "sparks" he felt while meeting Porscha at a paid appearance at Florida sandwich shop Capriotti's earlier this month. 

“I’m there carrying out these big sandwiches with sparklers," Ed told Page Six in an interview published Sept. 19. "It’s crazy. And in walks this beautiful Italian dish.”

Referring to Porscha as his "dream girl," the TLC star went on to describe how the two immediately "hit it off."

“She comes up, gives me the warmest hug,” Ed continued. “She gives me a kiss on the cheek.”

And after having one PDA-filled date in his hotel lobby, Ed—who has previously been engaged to Liz Woods and Rose Vega—decided to get down on one knee.

“Everyone goes crazy,” Ed recalled. “I said, ‘Look, I never want to let you go, I think I’ve met the one. I want to marry you.’ And she said yes.”
