Michael Ilesanmi is currently enjoying life in the United States and I don't think he will return to 90 Day Fiance franchise again. At almost 20 years old, the Nigerian fell in love with Angela Deem on Facebook. He stalked her online and ended up inviting her to Nigeria to meet him and his family. Michael and Angela appeared in 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days to show your unique love story. Despite significant cultural differences, the couple seemed to get along well good. Michael and Angela were clearly in love despite their 22-year age difference.
I had high hopes for Michael and Angela's relationship after the first season, but I was surprised by their drastic personality changes in subsequent reality TV appearances. Michael shocked me by cheating on Angela while she verbally abused and tried to control him. In late 2023, Angela brought Michael to the United States in hopes of mending the relationship, but she only stayed with her for a few months before running away from home. Miguel attributed the failed marriage to Angela's suspicious and abusive behavior. He is now living in his own home in Houston, Texas.
Michael needs a break after dating Angela
Michael is currently involved in a legal battle with Angela
I don't think Michael will return to 90 Day Fiance franchise for a few reasons, his recent tragic breakup with Angela being the most prominent. Michael met Angela at a young age and put significant effort into their unconventional relationship despite major red flags such as their age difference and cultural differences. After spending six years with his American wife Michael is now battle-worn, bruised, tired and single. In my opinion, the 90 Day Fiance franchise alum isn't ready to start dating another woman anytime soon.
I also believe that Michael is too busy with his new life in America to date anyone seriously. He is involved in a legal battle with Angela, which could take months to resolve.
Angela has expressed her intention to deport Michael because she believes he deceived her. Michael, on the other hand, maintains his innocence. He recently raised over $50,000 through a fundraising campaign, with the intention of using that money to hire the best lawyer to defend him in court against his ex-wife. Due to this legal case, he may not want to engage in romantic connections.
Michael values his inner peace
Michael doesn't want any more drama
When Michael ended his relationship with Angela, he explained that he ran away from her house because he was tired of the constant abuse. He expressed concern for his own well-being and desire for a peaceful life. I believe Michael will remain committed to finding inner peace. If he were to appear on reality television again, he would have to face the spotlight and the drama that comes with it. This would likely bring personal challenges, relationship problems and other obstacles, adding more pressure to your mind and hindering your ability to pursue your American dream.
Michael Loves His Current Public Persona as Victim
Appearing on the show could negatively impact Michael's positive image
I believe Miguel He worked hard to make himself likable on social media. He has created a large fan base of social media users who genuinely care about him. I think he would not want to compromise his current public image by appearing on reality TV shows again. He wouldn't want to change his victim image by showing viewers a different side of him. Michael aims to attract viewers by becoming a well-known social media influencer and appearing on a 90 Day Fiance spin-off does not align with its objective.
I believe Michael has finally learned the value of living a peaceful life away from showbiz. He probably doesn't want to be involved in any more reality TV scandals or be a controversial figure on social media.
Michael probably wants to distance himself from anything related to 90 Day Fiance to focus on your new life. He seems more interested in making new friends and being an active member of his new family. He has been expanding his network, improving his routine and leading a relaxed life. I I don't think he would trade his quiet life for 15 minutes of fame.
Michael is not as interesting as Angela
Network Casts Controversial Cast Members
I also believe that the network will not choose Michael because of his passive personality. Unlike Angela, Big Ed Brown, and other controversial reality TV stars, Michael is a more down-to-earth person. He doesn't like to cause drama, which makes it predictable and uninteresting.
The show only hires people who enjoy creating chaos and being part of dramatic moments. In my opinion, they may not allow Michael to appear alone on the show, as his presence may not attract as many viewers as they hope. There's a greater likelihood of Angela appearing on TV again than Michael.
Michael is facing deportation
Michael should keep his romantic life off TV
I doubt Michael will be able to find time to appear on TV or meet the qualifications to be part of a spin-off show.
Unlike popular cast members like Big Ed, Natalie Mordovtseva, Debbie Johnson and Tania Maduro, who appeared in 90 Day: The Single Life, Michael is currently involved in an annulment battle with Angela. There is limited information available about Michael's legal status in the United States, so it is possible he could be at risk of deportation and have to return to Nigeria in 2025.
Angela will not rest until she sees Michael face the consequences for abandoning her in February 2024. Therefore, Michael should not give her additional reasons to criticize him by showing off his upcoming romantic relationship on reality television. It would be wiser for Michael to keep his future relationships out of the spotlight. THE the internet is full of critics and speculators, so it won't be in Michael's best interest to publicize his romantic life on social media. Instead, he should focus on sharing more about his legal case, such as 90 Day Fiance fans would be more supportive of that.
