’90 Day Fiance’ Shocker: Angela Deem in Nigeria to Marry Michael Next Week
90 Day Fiance‘s Angela Deem is reportedly in Nigeria now to marry Michael Ilesanmi. She was spotted leaving Georgia to head back to Africa so they can pursue a spousal visa after their K-1 denial. The leak says that TLC camera crews traveled with Angela to film the wedding and it’s set for January 27. Check out the latest on Michael and Angela’s plans.
90 Day Fiance Wedding: Angela Deem Backtracks on Nigerian Wedding
On the most recent episode of the TLC show, Angela Deem insisted she wouldn’t marry Michael Ilesanmi in Africa. Because, she wants her family and friends to witness the ceremony and Angela can’ afford to fly them to Michael’s home country. We’ve seen her push back on the Nigerian wedding multiple times.
Most recently, at a dinner with Michael Ilesanmi’s extended family. The subject came up again and again, Angela said no. However, now it seems she’s decided to do whatever it takes to get her 90 Day Fiance to America. Recently, an immigration lawyer told Soap Dirt why their application for a K-1 was likely denied.
He attributed it to the age gap with the female being the elder. Plus, the slim chance for children. Then, both Angela Deem’s lawyer and the one Michael Ilesanmi spoke with told her the surest route to getting him to the US was a spousal visa after a Nigerian marriage. But, Angela said no on 90 Day Fiance. So, what changed?
Angela on the Way for Late January Wedding with Michael
Although Angela Deem’s in Nigeria on 90 Day Fiance on current episodes, those filmed months ago. However, the photo below is brand new shared by a fan that spotted Angela flying out of Savannah, Georgia. There’s no direct flights there to Nigeria, but she can hop one in Atlanta or New York.
And the other source (see above) says they’ve verified Angela Deem’s going to get married and even posted an invite. The date of her alleged wedding to Michael Ilesanmi is January 27, 2020. And, this aligns to other hints from Angela Deem that she planned a January wedding to her 90 Day Fiance.
Although Angela hinted at a mid-month marriage (the 17th). Now, it looks like Michael Ilesanmi marries Angela Deem in less than a week on his home turf in Nigeria. But remember, her lawyer cautioned Angela that even after they wed, it can take a year to 18 months to get approval for Michael as a spouse rather than a 90 Day Fiance.
90 Day Fiance: Will Michael Pay a Bride Price?
Recently, SD talked to a Nigerian local familiar with the customs for the Yoruba tribe. He explained to us why Michael Ilesanmi would push Angela Deem to bring a pricey gift like a microwave to his mother. And our source said it’s because she is an older bride and not what the family expected on 90 Day Fiance.
However, the same source said grooms in Nigeria usually pay the “bride price” to the family of the woman they wed. So, we’ll see if they’ll address that on 90 Day Fiance. Because, reportedly, Angela Deem is sending Michael Ilesanmi money because she doesn’t want him working there.
As of now, this season of the TLC show’s wrapped filming and they already taped the Tell-All as well. So, the big question is whether this wedding footage of Michael Ilesanmi marrying Angela Deem will be for a follow-up special like Where Are They Now – or another season of Before the 90 Days or the main show.
No doubt, Angela and groom Michael are under a network NDA to keep quiet about their nuptials. So, we’ll just have to wait for more leaks on what goes down as she says “I do” to Michael Ilesanmi in Nigeria next week.
