90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? documented the end of Michael Ilesanmi and Angela Deem’s seven-year-long relationship but where is the Nigerian man after season 8? Michael is from Lagos, Nigeria. He contacted Angela from Georgia on Facebook Messenger by sending her a “Good Morning” message. Angela and Michael were in a long-distance relationship for a few months when Angela flew to see Michael in person in their first spin-off together. Angela wanted to bring Michael to America to marry him, but she soon started showing her true colors.

Angela began mistreating Michael on camera due to her trust issues, always assuming he was cheating on her. She never missed a chance to berate him and make him feel inferior to her. Angela accused Michael of being a scammer who was using her for a Green Card yet didn’t end the relationship because it guaranteed her a reality TV career. However, Angela’s 90 Day Fiancé career did come to an end because of what Michael did once Happily Ever After? season 8 was over.

Michael Plotted An Escape From Angela’s Georgia House

Why Did Michael Run Away From Angela?

Just a few days after Michael and Angela returned to Georgia after filming the Tell All in New York, Michael went missing. Michael disappeared without a trace from Angela’s Hazlehurst house on February 23, 2024. Angela revealed it on February 26, 2024, via a TikTok video in which she claimed Michael’s activity wasn’t captured on her home security camera either, which added to the mystery. Interestingly, it was also Michael’s birthday on the day Angela announced he had left her. A police investigation was launched to find Michael. Angela also offered a $10000 reward to those who’d help find him.

“I just had to leave.”

Michael called up the police himself to let them know he had gone of his own free will. He claimed he did it because he feared for his life. Micheal shared more details about his decision to leave at the end of the multipart Tell All. He said that his wife had gotten “angry” as usual and started giving him an attitude and saying all sorts of things. It got to a point where he had no option but to leave. Michael went to the closet, picked up his backpack, essential documents, and his jacket, and “I left the house.“

Angela Took Michael To Court Demanding An Annulment

How Much Did Michael Get From GoFundMe?

In August 2024, InTouch revealed that Angela had filed for an annulment from Michael to prove that there was never a marriage. Angela wished to make sure that it would ruin Michael’s immigration status since she would be able to prove there had been no marriage between them. However, the private investigator that Angela hired found no proof that Michael was cheating on Angela or had scammed her. Still, Angela went to court, accusing Michael of fraudulently inducing her into marriage so he could get legal resident status in America.

As soon as this was reported online, Michael (via InTouch) accused Angela of inflicting alleged physical and mental abuse on him and claimed he had experienced cruel treatment during the marriage. He also denied he was a fraud and asked for “both temporary and permanent spousal support.” This was after Michael had reached out to his fans to ask him for financial help. Michael started a GoFundMe for $25,000 for his legal fees. However, Michael didn’t stop the fundraiser when it reached its goal. This led to him receiving over $52,000, which was more than double his ask.

Michael Revealed His Clean & Neat Home In Texas

Where Is Michael Living Now?

90 Day Fiancé didn’t reveal Michael’s location during the Tell All. It was mentioned that he was living with some friends at an undisclosed location. By October 2024, Michael became comfortable sharing details of his current living situation. Michael posted videos of him dancing which showed his spotless kitchen and immaculately designed living room. It even led to rumors that Michael was living with a woman because a bachelor pad shouldn’t have looked so spick and span. However, 90 Day Fiancé has exposed Angela’s messy house where she lives with her two daughters, which she expected Michael to clean up.

Michael, who has been living in Texas since leaving, posted a YouTube video revealing whether he is being sent back to his country, as per Angela’s requests. “I want to talk about the situation of the country about the d-e-p-o-r-t, I don’t wanna say it,” Michael said in the update after reading comments asking him if he was safe and if “this [is] gonna affect you…blah, blah, blah.” He reminded his fans that he came to the U.S. on a spousal visa. “I’m eligible for a 10 years Green Card, which I already have it,” Michael added.

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star Michael has had his Green Card since last year. It allows him to work and do pretty much “anything” in America. Michael is able to legally continue staying in America, and he claims he will be okay as long as he isn’t a part of anything criminal. While Michael’s annulment case is still in court, he doesn’t know what happens next in his journey. However, Michael is positive that everything will be “sorted and good” and he will keep giving his supporters regular updates via social media.

90 Day Fiancé airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
