What Angela & Michael Separating On Instagram May Mean
Michael Ilesanmi and Angela Deem from 90 Day Fiancé shared an Instagram account for the longest time, so viewers think the Nigerian man reactivating his old page confirms they’ve split. Single mom of two and grandmother to six Angela met Michael on Facebook after promising herself she’d never get married again. Michael wooed Angela by sending her a “you look pretty today, good morning” message on Facebook. The couple has since been a part of several 90 Day Fiancé seasons and weathered many break-ups and controversies, including Angela claiming someone was impersonating Michael on Instagram.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY
Back in November 2019, Angela and Michael launched their mutual @deemangela account. Angela was on a mission to delete any imposter accounts of Michael from Instagram. Amongst them was a page called @babakeke26_ that 90 Day Fiancé viewers thought belonged to Michael for the longest time as it often posted photos of the couple. Suddenly, Angela started asking her followers to report the page to Instagram. Some viewers suspected it was Michael’s page but Angela kept insisting it was someone impersonating her then-fiancé. The account supposedly had over 55,000 followers then and changed its usernames to @__no_user_found__b and later started feuding with Angela by calling itself @youreabullyandoldpigangela.
At the same time, Michael also had a page @babakeke, which he’s now changed to @its__mrmichael, as highlighted by his fellow Nigerian 90 Day Fiancé cast member Usman Umar. Usman posted about Michael on February 1. This is when viewers realized that Michael had separated himself from @deemangela to relaunch not just his solo Instagram page but also TikTok and Cameo accounts.
It was after Angela reposted the photo of Michael and Usman with the caption, “birds of a feather flock together,” that Usman ended up calling Angela a “scammer.” He claimed Angela used all of Michael’s money from Cameo to buy herself a house and still refused to take him to the U.S. While this explains why Michael is promoting his Cameo page, it also seems to confirm rumors of Michael and Angela’s break-up or maybe even a divorce. While Angela and Michael seemingly called it quits during the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 6 Tell-All, the couple appeared to be together until November 2021. Angela sparked rumors of her single status in December 2021. Moreover, Michael’s caption for his January 29 post, “A human being is a single being, Unique and unrepeatable,” somewhat cements the speculation.
Michael and Angela’s 20 plus year age gap often created distress in the couple’s relationship. The pair broke up by the end of their first-ever 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season. Over their next few appearances, Angela not being able to give Michael and his family a baby was the biggest part of their storyline along with his visa issues. However, Angela and Michael did marry in Nigeria in January 2020 only to get into a long-distance marriage for the next two years. While Angela kept waiting for Michael to get his spousal visa, she received a gastric sleeve, breast reduction, and liposuction, which bothered her husband further.
Now, Angela wants to enjoy her new body and newfound confidence rather than have a baby. Plus, 90 Day Fiancé viewers have seen her openly flirting with her doctors on screen, when she had issues with Michael even glancing at other women. With Usman claiming that Angela won’t be taking Michael to the U.S., some people suspect she might be filming for 90 Day: The Single Life next. Additionally, Angela’s recent string of romantic posts with a mystery man might have made Michael finally want to break free from their shared Instagram. Angela also recently announced that she’s blocked Michael on IG. Still, it’s highly likely that Angela and Michael’s latest break-up is simply a publicity stunt to perhaps distract viewers from his arrival in America, which could be their storyline for an upcoming season.
