In the premiere of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' fourth season, Ed gushed about his love for his only daughter and how she was the center of his universe.
But Tiffany grew angry at Ed for dating 23-year-old Rose, who's even younger than she, and his desire to appear on the 90 Day Fiance franchise and travel to a foreign country that could potentially present dangers and hardships for her dad.

"I found Rose on social media. We fell in love. We were FaceTiming about three to four times a day for about three months," Ed recalled.
"I bought a ticket [to see her] and I posted that online, and everybody [was] like, 'Oh, my God, you're doing 90 Day Fiance.' I never heard of the show."
"Well, my daughter and my ex-wife were huge fans, so they... could see into the future what was gonna happen to me because when you expose your life and everything that's personal about you, you basically open yourself up for ridicule."
Prior to Ed leaving San Diego, CA, on a flight overseas, he said he "kept calling" Tiffany on the phone with no response.
Ed therefore decided to send Tiffany a last-minute video message just to speak what was on his heart and mind.

"I basically said, 'Look, if I never see you again, I love you,'" Ed shared with the magazine while on the verge of tears.
"That was tough. It hurts when you're happy and people in your life that love you are hurting. It's not the same. I wasn't going to be able to be happy unless we were complete."
Ed admitted his strained relationship with his daughter was "the worst thing" he's "ever gone through," and matters were made worse when she allegedly "hung up on" him later on.
Ed said even just watching the scene back on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' fourth season got him all choked up again.

However, Ed was shown finally touching base with Tiffany before he took off on his flight to the Philippines, and the fact Tiffany was willing to talk to him left him feeling relieved and overjoyed.
"I love my daughter. She is -- and I say this with love and respect -- a pain in the ass, just like her dad," Ed told Us.
"Her mom tells her every day, 'You're just like your father,' and we are. We're very passionate about who we are. We're very honest people. She's a real estate agent in Las Vegas. She's doing really, really well. She never gives up. She's a fighter."
And Tiffany apparently never gave up on her dad, with Ed confirming their relationship is back on track and doing well.
Ed and Rose's romance continues to blossom and thrive on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' currently-airing season on Sunday nights at 8PM ET/PT on TLC.

However, Ed has been shown struggling with Rose's living conditions in her village, and he worried she was just viewing him as a meal ticket to escape her situation and move to the United States.
