90 Day Fiancé: The Real Reason Liz Woods Hides Her Boyfriend's Face On Instagram

Summary Liz repeatedly got back with toxic ex Big Ed, but now hides new boyfriend Jayson from the public eye.

Big Ed canceled their wedding over taco pasta, predicting divorce. Liz quickly moved on to Jayson.

Liz might quit 90 Day Fiancé, inspired by friends hiding relationships. Fans are eager for her to reveal Jayson.

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star Liz Woods’s boyfriend, Jayson Zuniga, is one of the biggest mysteries in the 90 Day Fiancé universe at the moment. Liz and Big Ed Brown began dating in 90 Day: The Single Life season 1. The couple should have seen their breakup at the end of the season as a sign, but they got back together and broke up 14 more times. Big Ed turned into a franchise villain for being disrespectful towards Rose Vega. He was the one who lied to her and manipulated her but always begged for sympathy by playing the victim.

Big Ed did not change when he started dating Liz. He repeated the same mistakes as fans, even came across a leaked phone call between them where he called her stupid and dumb a total of eight times and dropped the f-bomb 19 times. Liz somehow agreed to be with him every time he broke up. Fans assumed it may have been a case of low self-esteem because Liz even quit her job in San Diego and moved with Big Ed to Arkansas. Liz did not realize that Big Ed canceling their wedding was like her winning the lottery.

The pair had launched a wedding website on TheKnot which had details about the venue, the timings for the ceremonies, and the wedding theme, which was supposed to be Bohemian. Guests were asked to avoid wearing white and were informed in advance that they were going to be filmed.

“I have absolutely no idea what I would next if this is the end. I don’t want to meet anybody else,” she said.

Funnily enough, Liz did meet someone else within a few months of her canceled wedding. Liz is currently dating a man named Jayson who also happens to be from San Diego. A single parent, Jayson, is about the same age as Liz. Liz’s Instagram Stories in the last few months have been all about Jayson even though she is yet to post about him on her feed. She’s showing him off but also hiding his face. She’s not even officially revealed his name yet. Information about Jayson was posted by an Instagram blogger, mac.and.chisme.

Liz Started Dating Jayson In November 2023

Liz & Jayson Have Celebrated Their Six-Month Milestone

Liz started sneakily posting photos of her dates with Jayson sometime in October-November 2023. She tried to make it look like she was out with Big Ed as she didn’t want to ignite split rumors. However, fans were soon able to tell it wasn’t Big Ed when they saw a glimpse of the man’s physique in Liz’s Stories. In November 2023, u/cuddlyturtle945 reposted a screenshot from Liz’s Stories on Reddit. They informed fellow viewers about how the man in the picture was “clearly not Ed.” Liz was enjoying spicy margaritas and clinking cocktail glasses with Jayson in the boomerang.

It was when fans started taking notice of Liz’s date night Stories to conclude that she was now in a relationship with someone else. What Liz was doing was soft-launching her boyfriend. According to The Knot, a soft launch is a “light-handed, slow-moving way to show just enough of your new boo on your Instagram stories” so that onlookers assume one is in a relationship but isn’t quite ready to spill all the details just yet. Liz has been at it for the last seven months and viewers are surely getting impatient to meet her boyfriend.

It’s not like Liz hasn’t shared pictures showing Jayson’s face on her IG. She’s done so sneakily without tagging him in unassuming photos where he might come across as just one of her friends. One such picture was reposted by Instagram blogger 90daythemelanatedway and Liz seemingly confirmed that the man in the picture was her boyfriend by commenting “very blessed” on it. Liz celebrated her 32nd birthday on May 20, 2024. She reposted Stories that Jayson had shared from his IG and his face in his profile picture was visible until he quickly changed it to the logo of San Diego Padres.

Liz is currently a part of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? with Big Ed, which is still on air for the next couple of months. Her revealing the face or identity of her new boyfriend would mean her breaching her contract. Liz would be spoiling her own storyline if she made her relationship with Jayson Instagram official. Liz still has pent-up feelings for Big Ed on the show and would get back together with him in a heartbeat if he took her back. After all, she did get back together with him after breaking up 14 times.

Liz Has Been Inspired By Kalani & Miona

However, Liz has moved on for good and might have even gotten engaged to Jayson. The couple recently threw a major hint at their potential engagement. Liz took a mirror selfie with Jayson, potentially revealing their relationship status. The seating chart for the wedding/engagement she attended with Jayson had both of their names printed with the last name “Zuniga” on a paper stuck to the mirror. Liz is keeping her new relationship under wraps but just revealing enough information to tease fans and keep them guessing about what she is up to without Big Ed.

A similar strategy was applied by Kalani Faagata who started dating a named Dallas Nuez who was her “hall pass guy” after Asuelu Pulaa allowed her to go kiss someone else. Kalani started dating Dallas in November 2022 and has still not revealed his face in her photos. Liz was one of the first few people Kalani told about Dallas on 90 Day: The Last Resort. It’s not surprising that Liz has been inspired by her cast member friend. Like Kalani, Miona Bell also kept her boyfriend’s face and name private until finally making her relationship with Terzel Ron official in May 2024.

Liz has not been spotted filming anything new since her split with Big Ed. There have been no rumors that she will supposedly star in a new spin-off anytime soon. Liz was never a “90 Day Fiancé” she was introduced as Big Ed’s girlfriend from the U.S. in The Single Life. Now that her association with Big Ed is over, Liz might take a break from reality TV itself or quit the franchise entirely after 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8. Liz won’t be under any obligation to post about her relationship on social media in that case.

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
