It seems inevitable that Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi, the infamous couple from 90 Day Fiancé, will find themselves back together on-screen in the franchise. Since their first appearance in season 2 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days in 2018, viewers have witnessed the rollercoaster of their relationship unfold across numerous spin-offs. At 58, Angela is 22 years older than her partner Michael, who is only 35. While Angela resides in Hazelhurst, Georgia, Michael’s roots trace back to Lagos, Nigeria.
As a proud “meemaw”to six grandchildren, Angela also has two children, Scotty and Skyla Deem. Although she initially worked as a hospice care provider, Angela has since embraced a new career as a content creator and brand promoter, thanks to her recognition in the 90 Day franchise. Known for her fiery personality, Angela has garnered both admiration and criticism for her treatment of Michael, alongside her own physical transformation. Given her larger-than-life character and the tumultuous dynamics with Michael, it’s likely that they’ll continue to engage in future on-screen confrontations.
Michael & Angela’s History & Breakup
They Are 90 Day Fiancé OGs
Angela and Michael’s journey began when they met through Facebook, leading to their first encounter on-season two of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Following their engagement, they encountered visa challenges, which were prominently featured in season 7. Opting for a wedding in Nigeria, they later sought a spousal visa for Michael. Throughout their appearances on Happily Ever After?, Angela made several trips to Nigeria while awaiting the visa process.
During season 6 of Happily Ever After?, Angela underwent significant weight loss due to bariatric surgery and a breast reduction, ultimately shedding over 100 pounds. Unfortunately, Michael was perceived as unsupportive throughout her transformation. In season 7, turmoil hit in their relationship when Angela uncovered that Michael had emotionally cheated by communicating with another woman. Despite their turbulent marriage, they participated in the therapy-focused spinoff, 90 Day: The Last Resort, where they emerged recommitted to each other by the season finale.
As they entered Happily Ever After? season 8, Michael attended his spousal visa interview, and they finally moved to the U.S. together in December 2023. However, Angela’s trust issues remained unresolved, which was evident during the season 8 Tell All. By February 2024, Michael left her home, seeking refuge in Houston as he embarked on a new chapter away from Angela.
Throughout their tumultuous marriage, it was heartbreaking to observe Angela’s pattern of berating and controlling Michael, marking her as one of the franchise’s most controversial figures. However, it’s worth noting that Michael’s actions also contributed to their conflicts. Their dramatic relationship has undeniably produced compelling reality television, and it seems neither party is eager to step away from the spotlight that 90 Day Fiancé has provided.
Angela & Michael’s Lives Post-Split
Things Have Been Messy
Following Michael’s sudden departure after spending just two months in the United States, Angela labeled him a scammer, which initiated a public campaign against him. She has since pursued annulment of their marriage and is advocating for Michael’s deportation.
Angela’s ongoing animosity is evident across her social media, where she publicly accuses Michael of exploiting her for his visa. Meanwhile, Michael appears relieved to be distanced from Angela’s mistreatment. Despite this newfound freedom, some have questioned the timing of his actions, particularly when he launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover legal fees associated with Angela’s case against him. Surprisingly, Michael seems to be doing well, having purchased a new car and initiated a new life in America, stirring controversy as fans allege misuse of the $50,000 raised.
Will Angela & Michael Appear In The 90 Day Fiancé Franchise Again?
It’s Very Likely
While Angela and Michael may not be actively communicating due to their legal disputes, it seems highly probable that their paths will cross again within the franchise. If they do reunite for a new spinoff, 90 Day: The Single Life might be the likely platform to showcase their journeys toward seeking new relationships.
The combustible mix of their volatile history and Angela’s unpredictable nature would certainly lead to memorable confrontations should they share the same space again. It’s clear that Angela and Michael are a reality TV sensation, and it would benefit the 90 Day Fiancé franchise to feature them once more, potentially with conditions to ensure no physical altercations ensue. I strongly believe they will reunite in a Tell All format after being featured on 90 Day: The Single Life.
Additionally, it’s likely that both Angela and Michael’s individual experiences will continue to unfold in a subsequent season of Happily Ever After?, increasing the chances of their reunion at a Tell All event. Whether appearing virtually to bypass potential drama or in-person, Angela and Michael are undoubtedly prime material for reality television. The franchise would do well to capitalize on their engaging storylines, which consistently attract viewers.
90 Day: The Last Resort airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
