90 Day Fiancé: Does Michael Ilesanmi Have A Twin? (Learn About His Family Background Now & Life After Angela Deem Split)

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star Michael Ilesanmi’s real name has fans wondering if he has a secret twin! Michael from Nigeria lived in Lagos when he met Angela Deem in 2017. Angela often flew to Lagos to meet Michael and spend a few weeks with him every year along with 90 Day Fiancé cameras. Michael always wished to move to the U.S. but his K-1 visa being rejected was a huge setback for the couple. Their next best option was to get married in Nigeria itself, so Michael could come to America on a spousal visa.

Michael started his new life in “Paradise,” as he describes the U.S. in December 2023. He was dissatisfied with how Angela treated him in Georgia, so Michael left for Texas, where he began living with his new family. Angela filed for an annulment claiming Michael tricked her into marrying him so he could gain permanent resident status legally. She wants him to get thrown out of the country, but the smile on Michael’s face in every Instagram post he shares shows that he’s confident about spending the rest of his life living his American dream and without Angela.

Michael’s Real Name Is Kehinde Ilesanmi

In February 2023, Reddit user u/_R-Amen_, noticed that Angela and Michael wore matching necklaces. Both had a black thread as a necklace with a heart pendant with an initial. Michael’s pendant and an “A” initial while Angela wore one with a “K” initial. “Does anyone know if Michael has another name that starts with ‘K’?'” the fan asked fellow viewers. “It’s his Nigerian name. Michael is his English name,” wrote UnderstandingQuirky8. They further added that Michael’s name was Kehinde. Fans wondered why Michael didn’t use his real name on 90 Day Fiancé.
