Michael Ilesanmi from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? dumped Angela Deem as soon as he arrived in the United States and has since been happily showing off his new social circle and joyful life. Angela and Michael first appeared in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days in 2018. Despite Angela’s doubts about Michael’s intentions, she decided to give him a chance, and the couple married in January 2020. However, things took a turn for the worse as they waited for Michael’s spousal visa to be approved. Michael cheated on Angela with another American woman he met online.
Angela was devastated to see her marriage falling apart but still made an effort to salvage it by joining 90 Day: The Last Resort for marriage counseling with Michael. Surprisingly, the therapy proved successful, and Angela chose to stay married to her Nigerian husband. Even after discovering he was the admin of a suspicious visa group called “paradise men,” Angela still placed her trust in Michael. Finally, in late 2023, Michael moved to the United States on a spousal visa. However, Angela continued to express concerns about his suspicious behavior. Ultimately, in February 2024, Michael ran away from Angela’s house.
