90 Day Fiancé star Michael Ilesanmi has a message for his estranged wife Angela Deem
90 Day Fiancé star Michael Ilesanmi recently stirred the pot with a message directed at his estranged wife, Angela Deem. As the couple’s tell-all drama unfolds on TLC, Michael posted a series of photos on Instagram with a pointed caption: “People will notice the change in your attitude towards them, but won’t notice their behavior that made you change.” The photos, taken against a lush green backdrop, were tagged in the “United States.”
Michael’s post garnered support from his 90 Day Fiancé co-star Kobe Blaise, who commented, “No human born of a woman can prevent the sun from shining its light across the earth. You are blessed, my friend.”
On August 8, In Touch confirmed that Angela, 58, filed for an annulment from Michael on June 20 in a Georgia court. The couple, who were married in Africa on January 27, 2020, have been living separately for 30 days preceding the filing, according to the court documents.
Angela claims that Michael “fraudulently induced” her into marriage to obtain legal permanent resident status in the United States.
Her petition states, “After [Michael] abandoned [Angela], [Angela] discovered that [Michael] was engaged in a conspiracy with other Nigerian men to induce U.S. citizens into marriage for the purpose of gaining legal permanent resident status.” Angela also noted that they have no children together.
Michael Ilesanmi and Angela Deem’s relationship has been a trainwreck since his arrival in the US
During the Season 8 tell-all of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, viewers saw Angela’s harsh treatment of Michael following his arrival in the United States in December 2023. The situation escalated when Angela reported Michael missing on February 26. Michael was found safe later that day after he contacted authorities, explaining he left because he “feared” for his life.
A week after his return, Michael addressed the situation on social media. In a video shared by Instagram blogger Kiki and Kibbitz, Michael stated, “Hello, everyone, this is Michael. I just want to quickly let you know that I’m not on any social media platforms at the moment. When the time is right, I’ll make an official announcement. Thank you, and God bless you.”
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight on July 25, Michael explained why he left Angela’s home, saying, “The reason why I left Angie’s house is because — it’s very, very sad — I wasn’t treated like I’m her husband. I was treated like I’m just a nobody. Every day we fight.”
He expressed that his relationship with Angela had become unbearable, adding, “I thought when I got here, things would be better for us. But I was wrong, you know? Things got worse when I got here.”
Fans can revisit Michael and Angela’s dramatic relationship on former seasons of 90 Day Fiancé, which are available to stream on Max and TLCGo.
