Michael Ilesanmi Is Officially Divorced—And He Already Has His Eyes on a 90 Day Co-Star
Michael Ilesanmi is starting a completely new chapter, and he isn’t holding back on his quest to find true love. Following the finalization of his tumultuous divorce from Angela Deem, the 90 Day Fiancé star has returned to television on Season 2 of Hunt for Love. Now living in Houston, Texas, Michael is reflecting on his cinematic escape from his marriage while navigating the unpredictable waters of single life—including a secret crush on a familiar co-star.
During a candid teaser released on the official 90 Day Fiancé Instagram account, Michael opened up about the exact morning he decided to walk away from his marriage to Angela. Describing his exit as feeling like something straight out of a movie script, he recalled grabbing his backpack and leaving everything else behind without looking back, knowing he could no longer stay in that environment.
That life-changing decision eventually led him to Texas, where he has resided for the past two years. Having first announced his divorce from Angela on Instagram back in March—where he expressed gratitude for his supporters and declared that a fresh chapter was beginning—Michael confirmed that the split is now official. Ready to move forward, he revealed that he has even prayed for guidance in finding a partner who aligns with his long-term goals.
A Local Connection and a Secret Crush
As Michael steps back into the dating world on Hunt for Love, his return comes with an unexpected twist. In a preview clip for the new season, Michael confessed that he has developed feelings for fellow cast member Brittany Banks.
The two reality stars share more than just a franchise history—they both live in Houston and had already built a friendship prior to filming. While Michael admitted in a confessional that he has a crush on Brittany, he noted that she likely has no idea how he truly feels.
Footage from a cast party showed the two sharing a warm greeting, with Brittany hugging Michael and expressing her excitement that he joined the show. Michael didn’t hesitate to compliment her, telling Brittany she looked good. For her part, Brittany acknowledged their existing bond in her own confessional, teasingly admitting that the messier side of her actually finds him attractive.
Navigating the Rough Waters of Dating
While his connection with Brittany offers potential spark, Michael’s transition back to single life hasn’t been entirely smooth sailing. Another preview snippet captured a moment of rejection when Michael asked an unidentified woman for a kiss, only to be told that he would need to earn it first.
In his confessional, Michael owned up to the awkward moment, admitting that getting turned down was embarrassing and joking that being single feels like a full-time job. Despite the setback, he maintained a positive attitude, stating that he intends to keep refining his approach.
When it comes to what he wants out of life now, Michael is clear about his aspirations. In a separate promotional video, he shared that his primary goals for joining Hunt for Love are to settle down, build a home, and start a family with children. Rating himself a solid seven as a partner, he noted that the quickest way to win his heart is simply through genuine love and support.
With his past officially behind him in Georgia and a new life established in Texas, viewers will have to watch Season 2 unfold to see whether Michael’s friendship with Brittany evolves into something deeper—or if his search for companionship leads him down an entirely different path.
