Angela's friends and family warned her that it seemed Michael was trying to scam her to come to America and she may get hurt, but Angela ignored all the skeptics and followed her heart.

Angela thought she and Michael had the potential for a lifelong partnership, however, she had to work through trust issues and insecurities regarding the couple's age difference and Michael's intentions for marrying her and coming to the United States.

Angela found reasons to fight with Michael all the time, especially over other his interactions with other women, which resulted in numerous breakups. But the pair always managed to work things out and get back together.

Michael, however, was denied for a K-1 visa to come to America, and Angela figured it was because their romance wasn't convincing enough. Not only is Angela much older than Michael, but the couple also wasn't married at the time.

As a result, Angela agreed to marry Michael in Nigeria on Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, even though it meant losing the American wedding of her dreams.

Michael promised to stay with Angela after receiving a Green Card in the United States and told the cameras, "I am truly in love with her, and I want to be with her -- Green Card or not."

Angela was so excited to call Michael her "husband" and she considered him to be her "king."

The couple applied for a K-3 spousal visa after tying the knot, and Angela planned to have a second wedding in the United States once Michael was able to move.

But another problem still lingered after the wedding: Michael desperately wants a biological child and Angela was told giving birth would be a serious risk to her health and she had no eggs.

Angela wanted Michael to be willing to sacrifice for her since she had done so much to keep their relationship alive.

Another issue the couple had to overcome was Michael thinking Angela would take on the role of a traditional Nigerian wife, cooking and cleaning the home.

Michael and Angela anticipated it would take nine to 18 months to receive the spousal visa.

"We're gonna make it. We just have to be strong for one another," Michael insisted. "You are my wife now... I'm not leaving you for anything. I am not going anywhere."

Angela, however, still didn't have full trust in Michael once she went back to her old life in the United States following the wedding.

Angela joked on the Season 5 Tell-All for 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? that she required Michael to even carry his phone into the bathroom so she could reach him at all times.

Angela said she loves Michael but the love isn't necessarily good for her, like a person who loves candy but has diabetes.

"We won't [be together soon]," Angela shared. "After the pandemic, we have to wait probably a year for him to get the spousal visa. But if we make it through all this and we're still together, then everybody can shut up."

During 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s sixth-season premiere, Angela revealed she hadn't seen Michael in seven months and couldn't fly to Nigeria whenever she wanted for a visit due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The pair was still waiting for Michael's spousal visa to be approved and Angela intended to go under the knife for weight-loss surgery despite Michael's approval.

Michael admitted he got emotional whenever Angela, who weighed 273 pounds at the time, talked about her weight-loss surgery.


"It's not that I don't care about what Michael thinks," Angela told the cameras.

"I thought that marrying Michael would make my worries go away, but actually, they've gotten worse. He's going to be 33, I'm going to be 55. My skin's going to change, and I'm going to start to look older than I am."

"And Michael is still going to be as young as he looked the day I married him," she continued. "So if I'm not young, I need to at least look the damn part and it starts with my weight."

But Michael told his wife, "You know I like big things. I love you the way you are."

In turn, Angela assured her husband she'd still have "big boobs and a big butt" after the surgery.

"I've tried to convince you over and over," Michael said. "I never for once [liked the idea of] this surgery."

Michael then explained in a confessional, "People have lost their [lives] getting this kind of surgery here in Nigeria. I feel she want to risk it all. You know, she just wants a quick result, so she had to go for the bigger surgeries."

Michael also worried about his future with Angela considering he wants to become a father so badly.

"If Angela decided not to have kids at all, I think I will have to divorce her. That makes me feel so sad and upset because I love her so much," Michael told the cameras.

Michael also feared Angela's new sexy look would attract men and she might leave him.


So are Angela and Michael still together now or has the 90 Day Fiance couple split up?

Angela and Michael got married on January 27, 2020 in Nigeria.


Angela gushed about being Michael's wife after her big day on Instagram and wrote, "'True love stands by each other's side on good days and stands closer on bad days.' Happy Married Life to us! Thank you all for your prayers and support. #wed27thjan20 #happyeverafter."

Angela also posted photos in which she and Michael signed their marriage certificate after the wedding.

But the wedding bliss apparently didn't last long.

Angela has admitted her long-distance relationship with Michael has been "hell."

"At one point, I was telling Michael, 'You've changed since we got married and we're not even living together yet. Don't take that for granted because there's always a damn divorce court right around the corner,'" Angela recalled in an April 2021 interview with Entertainment Tonight.

"I feel like he married me and then he [changed]. We literally went through hell and it was bad, and you'll see that."

For instance, Angela alleged Michael wasn't supportive after she underwent a gastric sleeve reduction, liposuction on her back, and a breast reduction in August 2020.

The surgeon also addressed two hernias she had and so Angela was under general anesthesia for five to six hours.

Angela, who has lost 100 pounds since her procedures, said her grandchildren were her "main support" through the long recovery process, which really caused some tension between Michael and herself.

"I can tell you he was a butt," Angela admitted.

"He was a total ass. I can tell you a little bit, that I was in this alone... You know, I did my boobs and he loved my boobs. I don't know if it was just him not being a part of it because he was over there [in Nigeria] at the time or what, but we went through it."

Angela confessed divorce "definitely" crossed her mind during that time of struggle and she even discussed breaking up with Michael with her lawyer, who gave some "good advice."

"I told my lawyer, 'I'm definitely not going to put up with this. If he's like this all the way over there, then what's he going to be like here [in the United States?'" Angela lamented.

Angela suggested Michael has a way of bringing out the worst in her.

"Michael always gives me a reason to explode. I think he likes it when I get upset because it shows I care about him in some crazy way," Angela explained.

"He put me through hell while I was healing and it's all real. The struggle was real!"

But despite the obstacles they've faced as a married couple, Angela confirmed she and Michael are still together and working things out.

Angela has posted photos and videos with Michael on Instagram as recently as mid-April 2021, and she captions many of her posts with red-heart emojis.

Angela told ET that she hopes Michael can move to the United States soon, especially since the international travel ban has been lifted amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"I'm hoping and praying. We've got my lawyer looking into it and I've contacted Congress," Angela revealed.

"Hopefully we'll see what's taking so long because we've been waiting for three-and-a-half years... We're going to have an American wedding [once he arrives]!"

Angela is also still considering having a child with Michael, although she insisted she won't consider carrying a baby herself.

"I know in my heart once Michael gets here, he has a way of getting me to do things. So I'm not going to say it's out the window," Angela shared of becoming a mom again.

She elaborated, "I don't want to raise a baby alone... We'll talk about it more once he gets here and we'll go from there."

The reality TV star joked she still needs an egg in order to have a baby.

"I'm still after [my daughter] Skyla's eggs!... We'll figure it out, but right n2ow, I want to enjoy my weight loss," Angela noted.

One thing is for certain though: Angela said she doesn't want to "tote the baby."

"Of course if he wants it, I want it for him, but we'll figure it out. I definitely won't tote it. I've come to my senses. I am too old to tote a baby," Angela explained.

"And if anybody could tote it, I know I could, but why would I want to lose all this weight and do that? We'll definitely do a surrogate and hopefully I can get some blood-related egg."
