Although there have been many life-changing experiences in the 90 Day Fiancé universe, Michael Ilesanmi's most recent chapter may be his most personal one yet. The Nigerian native has finally made it to Houston and started chasing his lifelong ambition of being a social media influencer, after years of battling to get to the United States and a turbulent relationship with Angela Deem where he wasn't allowed to be on social media.
In December 2023, 90 Day Fiancé's Michael received his U.S. visa and promptly began a new chapter in his life. His latest YouTube channel debut is a significant milestone in a journey that has motivated millions of followers of reality TV.
After overcoming several hurdles related to his visa and thankfully ending a toxic relationship, Michael is now concentrating on creating a new, independent life that offers him the potential to grow personally, take advantage of new chances, and eventually pursue a successful job.
The 90 Day Fiancé star's tale stands out as a testimony to resilience and personal reinvention, and the TLC program that made him famous still serves as a platform for unanticipated life changes.
90 Day Fiancé’s Micheal Ilesanmi starts over in America
Michael's journey took a dramatic turn when he finally secured his U.S. visa after years of rejection. He left his marriage to Angela Deem behind, moved to Houston, and started looking for fresh possibilities right away.
On Instagram, he posted, "Yo family!" to announce the opening of his YouTube account. He added, "Kindly subscribe," which marked the beginning of his career as a content creator.
His first-ever video, which showed his enthusiasm for his new life, captured something American: a snowfall in Houston. Michael already has around 200,000 Instagram followers under the username @Mykol_01, who are all excited to see what he does next.
Michael is pursuing several content opportunities since he has decided once and for all that he is going to become an influencer. He has been dancing on Instagram, presenting TikTok Lives, and even going down the traditional route of expressing interest in food videos and restaurant reviews. His fundraising efforts have already netted over $50,000, and he has invested in hiring a manager and PR agency.
According to a report by ScreenRant:
"Michael has not revealed whether he has managed to grab a full-time job, but he will use his celebrity status to earn an income for himself."
Michael's personal life has been equally dramatic. Angela filed for annulment in June 2024, alleging marriage fraud. Michael filed his claims in response, calling her out for "cruel treatment" and asking for spousal assistance.
It appears that their relationship, which was marked by ongoing turmoil, has come to an end. As reported by Collider:
"They have spent more time locked in conflict and resentment than in love."
The future for 90 Day Fiancé's Micheal Ilesanmi
The launch of his YouTube channel represents more than just a career move for Michael. It is a declaration of independence, a chance to reshape his narrative after years of being defined by his relationship with Angela. His glow-up has been making headlines, with fans eagerly following his journey of self-discovery and reinvention.
As Michael continues to build his brand and explore content creation, one thing becomes clear: this is a new chapter, written entirely on his terms.
Michael's path signifies more than merely a shift in his career - it embodies a deep cultural change. Relocating from Nigeria to Houston represents a major life transition, as Michael adapts to both a fresh job and a completely different lifestyle.
His social media posts have turned into a glimpse of this change, demonstrating to followers how he is adjusting to life in America, from experiencing snowfall to seeking new opportunities.
The encouragement he has received from 90 Day Fiancé fans has been essential in Michael's transformation. His increasing social media audience reflects the public's true desire to witness his independent success. While he expands his content and personal brand, Michael demonstrates that reality TV can serve as a springboard for true personal and professional development.
