Angela Deem, known for her tumultuous relationship with her Nigerian husband Michael Ilesanmi on 90-Day
Fiancé: Happily Ever After, appears to be struggling significantly. Once optimistic about her marriage, Angela now
grapples with the fallout from Michael’s repeated infidelities and the subsequent deterioration of their relationship.
Initially, Angela was grateful for her connection with Michael, but after they wed, she faced a series of betrayals that forced her to reassess their union. Despite the heartache, Angela gave their marriage another chance and brought Michael to the United States on an spousal visa in December 2023. However, problems escalated once the couple moved in together in Georgia in February 2024. Michael cited Angela’s aggressive and accusatory behavior as reasons for his departure, leading him to relocate to Houston, Texas, where he has since started to rebuild his life.
Now, free from the constraints of marriage, Michael has embraced life as a content creator and influencer, successfully building a large following on social media. He celebrated the 4th of July and Thanksgiving in 2024 with a new group of friends, and even launched a fundraising campaign, raising $52,000 for legal fees to fight Angela in court. This newfound independence sharply contrasts with Angela’s current struggles, as she battles emotional distress and financial troubles.
Adding to her woes, Angela’s recent social media activity reveals her fragile emotional state. She shared a reposted message that encapsulated her pain, stating, “She did it alone. She did it broke. She did it bruised. Drained, lost, and terrified.” The emotional scars from Michael’s betrayal seem to weigh heavily on her, leaving her feeling abandoned and distrustful. Despite applying for an annulment of their marriage in hopes of having him deported, Angela is confronting the bitter reality that her love and trust for Michael may have been exploited to facilitate his pursuit of the American Dream.
Rumors abound that Angela has been dismissed from the 90-Day Fiancé franchise, adding to her financial woes as she is the primary provider for her grandchildren. In a shocking turn of events, Michael has reportedly sought a fair division of their assets and spousal support amid these financial challenges. Moreover, Angela has faced accusations from a TikToker alleging her involvement in an online flight ticket scam, to which she vehemently responded with frustration and denial.
Having met through Facebook and later in person while filming the show, Angela and Michael’s relationship quickly spiraled. Initial misunderstandings over money soon gave way to affairs, leading Angela to make the painful decision to keep giving Michael opportunities in the hopes of reconciliation. Despite her efforts, Michael’s abrupt departure blindsided her, leaving her emotionally shattered.
While Angela continues to refer to herself as the “queen of reality TV,” public sentiment appears to be shifting against her. Many fans feel that Michael endured enough turmoil during their relationship and deserve to find his footing in the United States. With mounting challenges and dwindling support, Angela seems lost, reflecting on the lessons learned from her tumultuous journey with Michael as she tries to pick up the pieces of her life. As both parties navigate their new realities, only time will reveal the full impact of their relationship on their respective futures.
