Angela Deem has not been fired from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 despite several clues suggesting it after her latest drama with Michael Ilesanmi. Angela and Michael became a well-known franchise couple since their 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 2 debut. Angela and Michael had met on Facebook Messenger, and she flew to Nigeria to meet him for the first time despite their 22-year age difference and contrasting cultures.
Over the past few years, fans watched Angela’s insecurities coaxing her to get into constant fights with Michael, some of which even took a violent turn. Angela suspected Michael was always cheating on her after an incident where he received oral sex from a local woman. Moreover, Michael faced difficulties securing a visa. Angela and Michael married in January 2020 and four years later, he finally got the chance to relocate to America. However, they spent just three months together before Michael disappeared.
Angela & Michael’s Storyline For 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After Season 8
Angela and Michael were featured in February 2024 in 90 Day Diaries. Angela traveled to Nigeria on the show after Michael had secured an interview date, so he could attempt to obtain a visa. Angela claimed she and Michael were in a good place. They had managed to work their issues out through therapy on 90 Day: The Last Resort. Angela was hopeful that they were going to have a happy future together. Michael’s visa interview meant they were just one step away from him coming to the U.S. to live with her, provided the interview worked in their favor.
“I need to get my man home to America.”
Angela flew to Nigeria after Michael’s appointment was scheduled. While the results of the interview were not revealed on this particular spin-off, Michael and Angela were announced as cast members for 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8. The trailer showed Angela talking about the most important day in their lives as she nervously waited to get some good news from Michael. While Angela looked hopeful about finally getting to be together with Michael, she also added that their marriage would be “over” if Michael couldn’t leave Nigeria.
When Did Michael Come To The U.S.?

Michael seemingly came to America just in time for Christmas. In December 2024, Blogger @shabooty had a follower sending them a picture they took with Angela at the Food Lion in Georgia. They met Angela who was wearing her “engagement ring” and told the fan that Michael was outside in the car. Redditor u/lexi4020 posted proof of Angela and Michael being together in America a few days later, on December 25, 2023. They shared a photo captioned, “Michael and Angela spotted at Walmart.” Reddit user u/JuggleMeThis saw “Angela and Michael IRL” on January 12, 2024, at LAX with an entourage (via 90dayfianceupdate).
What Happened When Michael Went “Missing?”
Angela posted a shocking TikTok video on February 26, 2024. She claimed Michael was missing, and he hadn’t been seen since February 23, 2024.
“Michael’s been missing since the 23rd. The police are involved, we can’t find him.”
Angela told 90 Day Fiancé blogger John Yates (via StyleCaster) that Michael had left “everything” at home. She said he didn’t have any ID on him to show his name, no clothing, and no toothbrush. Angela spoke about Michael having disappeared with the clothes on his back and only $40. Angela didn’t want to believe that Michael had planned his disappearance all along. She told fans to inform her with any information.
John Yates posted a YouTube video the next day to inform fans that Michael had been found safe. Angela had received a phone call from the police stating that Michael had contacted the authorities. Michael had apparently verified his identity by showing them pictures of his passport he had been able to take on a burner phone. Angela clearly had no idea about the phone. Meanwhile, Michael told the police he was in fear of his life. He told the police he didn’t want Angela to know where he was. As per Yates, Angela was “f****** mad as hell” upon finding out.
Have Michael & Angela Split?
Angela had thought Michael was hurt when he was seemingly hiding from her. Angela told Yates that while she loved Michael, she was not going to take him back because what Michael did proved he “don’t give a f***.” Angela added she had three lawyers. She hinted she planned to file for divorce from Michael. Angela sent out a warning to “Nigerians, people that backed him.” Angela told them to get Michael a good lawyer. She added that her lawyer was charging her $10000 an hour. Angela has since made it her mission to prove how Michael did her wrong.
Fans Suspect Angela Deem Was Fired From 90 Day Fiancé
By March 2024, there were rumors that Angela and Michael were fired from the franchise. The couple didn’t appear in the March 24, 2024, episode and fans wondered if Angela and Michael’s storyline was cut from the season. They didn’t feature in the preview clips for the next episode on March 31, 2024, either. Angela and Michael haven’t been featured on the 90 Day Fiancé Instagram for months. Angela changed her name and information on Instagram. Angela seemingly removed “90 Day Fiancé” from her title and bio. Eight episodes passed and there was still no sign of Angela.

Angela and Michael are still a part of the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 cast list on the network’s website. When a fan commented on Angela’s Instagram about how she would no longer appear on the show, her reply was “lies.” She told another fan that her episode on HEA was “coming soon.” Angela also joined a livestream by YouTuber Auntie’s Advice on April 26, 2024, and told viewers to “stay tuned” and that she was just getting started.
“I am not fired. I am here to tell y’all … I’m not fired. I’m coming soon.”
Angela’s claims were confirmed when the official synopsis for 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 episode 10 was released. As posted by MerryPants, the episode titled. “The Couple Grim” airs on Sunday, May 19, 2024. It mentions Angela and Michael in the summary. It notes that “everything is on the line” for Angela and Michael as his final visa interview approaches. Angela and Michael’s segments will likely replace Big Ed Brown and Liz Woods’ storyline since the couple’s wedding was canceled, leading to their breakup.
Will Angela & Michael Be On The Tell All?
Angela is suggesting that she will feature in more episodes of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8, perhaps all the way until the Tell All. She wants fans to watch the episodes carefully. Angela may have been addressing rumors that she was fired because she spoiled her own storyline when she revealed that Michael was “missing” in America.
“Just pay attention to the episodes closely. It was a living hell.”
According to Yates, Angela and Michael traveled a lot in the two months he was with her in America. They’d flown to California for a week. They went to New York and even went to Florida. According to John Yates’ post from February 21, 2024, the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 Tell All was filmed that weekend in New York. It was a first because the Tell All was reportedly filmed before the show even aired. Angela and Michael were still together then and seem to have filmed the reunion when they went to New York.
