The latest news on 90 Day Fiancé star, Michael Ilesanmi, is that he has finally made it to the United States to be reunited with his wife, Angela Deem, after enduring six years of a long-distance relationship. Excited fans were quick to spot the TLC couple in Georgia and promptly shared their photographs online.
One enthusiastic 90 Day Fiancé fan took to Reddit on December 25th to post a picture of Michael, aged 32, and Angela, aged 57, as they were seen checking out at a local Walmart. Although some skeptics speculated that the photograph may have been taken during one of Angela’s previous visits to Michael in Nigeria, one observant user noticed that the nearby refrigerator displayed Pepsi bottles featuring the brand’s new logo, which only started appearing in stores in the current fall season. This suggests that the picture was taken recently in Georgia.
It’s heartwarming to see this couple finally together after enduring years of separation, and it’s clear that fans of the show are overjoyed to witness their journey unfold.
There was another piece of evidence suggesting Michael’s arrival in the United States, apart from the previous claim. On December 22, a popular blogger named Shabooty shared screenshots on X of a supposed text conversation with a fan who ran into Angela at a Food Lion. The fan even provided a photo showing Angela with her arm around them, while pointing at the camera.
According to the fan, Angela mentioned that Michael was waiting in the car, so they went to greet him. The fan also claimed that Angela was wearing a ring and revealed that she and Michael were engaged. When asked if Michael was staying in the U.S. permanently, the fan replied affirmatively, saying that Angela had confirmed it.
Angela and Michael first appeared on the second season of “90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days” in 2018. Their relationship began online and they documented their first in-person meeting on the show. Since then, they have become regulars in the franchise, appearing on multiple seasons of “90 Day Fiancé” and “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?”

Angela and Michael have faced numerous challenges throughout their relationship, primarily due to the trust issues stemming from Michael’s infidelity. Despite tying the knot in Nigeria in January 2020, their problems were far from resolved. Michael betrayed Angela once again in 2022 by cheating on her with an unknown woman he met on Instagram. Angela provided voice recordings of their conversations, which revealed Michael expressing love, longing, and even promising financial support to the other woman.
With their marriage hanging by a thread, Angela and Michael made an appearance on the inaugural season of “90 Day: The Last Resort.” The show, filmed in January and aired from August to October, featured five couples attending a therapy retreat, their last-ditch effort to salvage their relationships. Angela’s trust issues persisted, and Michael’s virtual participation through video calls only worsened matters as she accused him of cheating once more. During a poignant therapy session, Michael sincerely apologized for his past mistakes.
“I am fully aware of my faults and the pain I have caused Angela. Yet, she still finds it in her heart to forgive me and stay with me,” he admitted. “Baby, I genuinely love you with all my heart, and I am deeply sorry for everything.”
Although Angela had initially intended to divorce Michael, even presenting him with the necessary documents at the recommitment ceremony, she ultimately chose to give their relationship another chance.
“When I arrived here, I believed that Michael needed to put in all the effort,” Angela confessed in a private interview. “However, I realized that I also need to work on my own shortcomings, such as my temper, and prioritize our relationship. This retreat has truly saved us from a divorce.”
