Michael Ilesanmi famously went missing two months after finally arriving in America to join his wife, Angela Deem, on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days.
Even before his disappearance, there were rumors that the couple was fighting and heading for a divorce. Things have been unusually quiet between them for a few months, but now Michael has resurfaced on social media.
On May 3rd, Michael posted a series of photos on Instagram, giving his first update to fans in some time. The photos were simple selfies of Michael posing in front of a mirror and wearing casual clothes. “You either get bitter or get better,” he captioned.

Fans immediately noticed that he was no longer wearing a wedding ring on his finger. The caption continued saying, “It’s that simple. You either take what has hurt you and allow it to make you a better person, or you allow it to tear you down. The choice does not belong to fate. It belongs to you.”
His comments were filled with support from fans. Many of them said that he looked happier, and they were glad to see it. Others told him to live his best life and keep Angela from bossing him around.
Michael’s return to social media follows a long silence. During his disappearance, he told fans that he was going to be stepping away from social media. He’d return when the time was right. It seems now is that time.

Angela Learned that Michael Had An Affair In Nigeria
Michael is originally from Nigeria, and he met Angela online. A romance sparked, and they started dating long-distance for several years. Eventually, Angela went to Nigeria, where the two got married. When she returned to the United States, she started to put in paperwork for her husband’s visa.
Then, things got complicated. First, the country was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Travel between countries became limited, and visas were extremely delayed. Angela also later learned that Michael was having an affair with another woman in Nigeria.

She obtained voice messages that Michael had sent to this other woman. They devastated her because they were things that Michael said to her, too. Despite the cheating scandal, the couple made up, and Michael was able to eventually receive his visa.
He made it to the United States, where the couple lived together for a couple of months. Then, something wild happened.
Michael Went Missing After Arriving to the U.S.
Just two months after moving to the United States, Michael disappeared. Angela posted a video on TikTok saying that she couldn’t find Michael and all of his things had been left behind. His passport, ID, clothes, even his toothbrush were still at her home.
Michael later used a burner phone to contact the police to tell him he had left and was in fear for his life because of Angela. It was at this point that Michael told his fans he’d be leaving social media for a time and would return later.
With Michael’s recent return, and without his wedding ring, it seems the drama between the two may finally be coming to an end.
