’90 Day Fiancé’: Michael Ilesanmi Hints He’d Be Open to Appearing on ‘The Single Life’
Does Michael Ilesanmi have a future in the 90 Day Fiancé universe? Though his marriage to Angela Deem appears to be over, the same isn’t necessarily true of his relationship with TLC. Michael says he hasn’t ruled out possible future appearances on other 90 Day shows.
Michael Ilesanmi joined the ‘90 Day Fiancé’ universe in 2018
Michael and Angela made their TLC debut in 2018 in season 2 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days.
The couple went on to appear in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 3, 90 Day Fiancé Season 7, 90 Day: The Last Resort, and multiple seasons of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? For years, they had a long-distance relationship as they struggled to get Michael a visa that would allow him to move from Nigeria to the U.S. The pair eventually married in 2020, but it wasn’t until late 2023 that he finally got permission to come to America.
Unfortunately, by that time, Michael and Angela’s relationship was in bad shape. She didn’t trust him to be faithful and feared he might be scamming her for a green card. The couple argued frequently, with Angela often lashing out at her husband in anger. Just a few months after Michael arrived in the U.S., he fled Angela’s home. He said his wife’s volatile behavior often left him feeling “scared.”
“The reason why I left Angie’s house is because, I mean, it’s very, very sad, you know. I feel like an unwanted guest,” the reality star said in an interview with ET (via Facebook). “I wasn’t treated like I’m her husband, you know.”
“For me to have left, it had gotten to the point where I couldn’t just bear it anymore,” he added.
Recently, Angela requested that a Georgia court annul her marriage to Michael on the grounds that he “fraudulently” tricked her into saying “I do.”
In documents obtained by Showbiz Cheat Sheet, Angela claims Michael “was engaged in a conspiracy with other Nigerian men to induce US citizens into marriage for the purpose of gaining legal permanent resident status.”
Michael addresses what’s next for him after ‘90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?”
With Michael and Angela’s marriage apparently at an end, it doesn’t seem likely that they’ll appear on future seasons of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? But Michael isn’t ruling out appearing on 90 Day: The Single Life, which follows past 90 Day cast members as they embark on a new search for love.
“I don’t know. I have no idea,” he said when asked if he’d join the cast of the 90 Day spinoff. “We’ll see. Right now, I have no idea. I just want to get myself together, you know, by myself.”
For now, Michael says his main goal is to take advantage of the opportunities living in America offers.
“Make money, chill, work, just normal things a young man needs in life,” he said. “And if any opportunity comes and I look into it and it’s good, I’ll pick it up.
Michael knows he’s a favorite of many 90 Day fans. He’s keeping that in mind when considering his future.
“I’ll take advantage of me being popular,” he said. “And if I get an offer from the network or any other TV show, I’ll grab it. I’ve been on TV for the past six years. I think I’m used to it now.”
