Why did Michael Ilesanmi and Angela Deem break up?
Once Michael finally arrived in America — it took nearly four years for the 90 Day star’s visa to get approved — their previously long-distance arguments only got worse. He told viewers, “I thought when I got here things would be better for us, but I was wrong, you know? Things got worse when I got here.”
After moving in with Angela in late 2023, Michael was reported missing in February 2024, a terrifying fact that Angela revealed on a social media live stream. She told followers, “Michael’s been missing since the 23rd. The police are involved. We can’t find him. Michael left everything here… Clothes on his back is what he left with on Friday.” Days later, he was found safe, telling police he “feared for his life.”
He later told Entertainment Tonight, “The reason why I left Angie’s house is because I mean, it’s very, very sad, you know. I feel like I’m an unwanted guest. I wasn’t treated like I’m her husband. I was treated like I’m just a nobody… I’m telling you, every day we fight, we argue.” He revealed that he got to the point where he “couldn’t just bear it anymore.” After his disappearance, the duo began their road to divorce.
