Michael Ilesanmi is currently settling into life in the United States, and it seems unlikely that he will rejoin the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. The Nigerian national, in his late 20s, first connected with Angela Deem through Facebook, leading to a whirlwind romance that culminated in her visit to Nigeria, where he introduced her to his family. Their journey was featured on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, revealing a relationship that, despite significant cultural and age differences, showcased genuine affection between the couple.
After their initial season, however, I expected to see Michael and Angela thrive as a couple. Unfortunately, their subsequent appearances showcased a rather different narrative. Michael’s admission of infidelity and Angela’s contentious behavior highlighted serious issues in their relationship. By late 2023, Angela had brought Michael to the United States, hoping to mend their fraying relationship. However, he only remained with her for a few months before leaving. Michael claims that their marriage failed due to Angela’s controlling and suspicious tendencies, and he has since found his own place in Houston, Texas.
Michael Needs a Break from Love
Ongoing Legal Struggles with Angela
Given the recent difficult breakup with Angela, I doubt Michael will return to the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. Michael’s experience in this unconventional relationship, coupled with an age gap and cultural differences, proved tumultuous after six years. Currently, Michael seems weary from this battle, and I believe he needs time away from dating to recuperate.
Additionally, he is busy managing his new life in the U.S., which includes the complexities of a legal dispute with Angela. She has publicly stated her intentions to seek his deportation, believing he deceived her. Conversely, Michael insists on his innocence. He has recently launched a fundraising campaign, gathering over $50,000 to secure legal representation in his ongoing court battle. This legal conflict indicates he is likely not ready to explore romantic relationships again soon.
Michael Prioritizes His Well-Being
Desire to Avoid Further Drama
Upon ending his relationship with Angela, Michael mentioned that he left her home due to persistent emotional abuse. He expressed a yearning for a peaceful lifestyle free from turmoil. I believe he is dedicated to seeking inner peace, and any return to reality television would only reignite drama and stress, interfering with his pursuit of the American dream.
Michael Embraces His Current Image
Concern for His Public Persona
Michael has cultivated a positive public image, particularly on social media, amassing an audience that empathizes with his journey. Returning to reality TV could jeopardize this hard-earned reputation, shifting perceptions of him from a victim to a more controversial figure. His ambitions of becoming a social media influencer might not align with participating in a 90 Day Fiancé spin-off.
He likely values the tranquility of his life away from the cameras, preferring to avoid further scandal and impact his image negatively. Michael seems focused on building new friendships and integrating into his American lifestyle rather than seeking fleeting fame. He would likely not exchange this newfound peace for temporary notoriety.
Michael’s Screen Appeal Challenges
Profile of Reality TV Cast Members
The network tends to favor cast members with dynamic and provocative personalities, like Angela and Big Ed Brown. Michael’s calm demeanor, in contrast, may render him less appealing to producers. His inclination to avoid drama makes him less likely to attract the viewership numbers network executives desire.
Legal Woes and Future Prospects
Discretion in Personal Matters
Given his current legal challenges against Angela, Michael may not have the time or desire to participate in a reality show. Unlike other cast members who thrive on the drama of 90 Day: The Single Life, Michael must focus on navigating his annulment proceedings. Uncertainty surrounds his legal status in the U.S., with potential deportation looming in 2025.
Angela is relentless in her pursuit of consequences for Michael’s departure, and his on-screen presence could provide her with fodder for criticism. To safeguard his reputation and mental health, it would be wise for Michael to keep future relationships private and avoid social media speculation. Instead, he should concentrate on positive aspects of his life, such as overcoming legal challenges, as it is a topic likely to garner support from fans of 90 Day Fiancé.
90 Day: The Last Resort airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
