Michael Ilesanmi, a familiar face from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, is currently navigating significant financial and personal challenges in the United States. After connecting through Facebook, Michael married his American partner, Angela Deem, in January 2020. Unfortunately, their journey took a tumultuous turn when Angela discovered Michael’s infidelity, which involved inappropriate conversations with another American woman. In an effort to rebuild their relationship, Angela decided to give Michael another chance, leading to their participation in the first season of 90 Day: The Last Resort, where they focused on addressing trust issues. Through therapy, Angela managed to forgive Michael, and they rekindled their relationship.
As of December 2023, Michael moved to the United States with optimistic hopes of a thriving marriage with Angela. However, by February 2024, he found it necessary to leave Angela’s residence, citing her alleged abusive behavior as the primary reason. Following this decision, Michael made the move to Houston, Texas, where he began to establish his own community. Seeking financial assistance, he appealed to fans of 90 Day Fiancé to help raise funds for legal fees, successfully collecting $52,000. Now living independently, he has secured his own apartment and shares uplifting videos on social media while spending time with friends in the African American community.
Michael’s Financial Struggles
A Struggle to Maintain a Lavish Lifestyle
Despite the considerable amount he raised, Michael hinted at ongoing financial issues. In a recent Instagram Story, he shared a video that humorously depicted someone counting cash repeatedly, a clear reflection of his current financial woes. While he did not explicitly outline his struggles, the shared video resonates with his circumstances, suggesting that the land of opportunity has not translated into the luxurious lifestyle he envisioned.
Lack of Stable Employment
Challenges with Consistent Income
Michael has long aspired to use his reality TV fame to carve out a successful career as a social media influencer. His previous frustrations with Angela’s restrictions on his social media use have subsided, now that he has established accounts on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. Yet, despite his efforts, he appears to be lacking a stable job in the United States, which has intensified his financial difficulties. As he strives to build his online presence, he unfortunately finds himself without a reliable income source.
Content Creation Challenges
Inconsistent and Uninspired Content
Since launching his social media presence in May 2024, Michael has struggled to make an impact as a content creator. His participation in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise has not translated into a steady flow of income due largely to a lack of consistent posting and engagement in his content. Despite amassing 228K followers on TikTok, many of his videos have failed to garner significant views, with some receiving fewer than 50K. This discrepancy suggests that while Michael may desire to become a prominent influencer, the effort to create engaging and inventive content is currently lacking.
Fans can catch the latest developments in the lives of Michael and Angela on 90 Day: The Last Resort, airing Mondays at 9 p.m. EST on TLC.
