Summary

• Angela and Michael may rekindle their love despite multiple splits and controversies.
• Michael disappeared from Angela's home, sparking rumors and leading to his social media growth.
• Both Angela and Michael handle social media similarly, hinting at a possible reunion despite their issues.

I won’t be surprised if Angela fly to Lagos to meet Michael for the first time and I have waited for nearly a decade to see him move to the States and fulfill his ultimate wish. Angela had the same wish for Michael, but she felt like giving up every time Michael disobeyed her.

The ongoing Happily Ever After? season 8 showed 90 Day Fiancé reassures me that the couple will overcome their differences and become a couple yet again.

Angela & Michael Have Split Multiple Times

Why My Gut Feeling About Michael & Angela Might Be Right

As a longtime viewer of 90 Day Fiancé, I know this isn’t the first time that Angela and Michael have split only to get back together and surprise everyone. Michael’s shot at his American dream was hanging by a thread after he told Angela about the “BJ” incident. Michael was worried about Angela bailing on him, and he had bribed her with cake. The cake trick didn’t work on Angela the next time she suspected Michael was cheating on her. She’d smashed it right in his face.

However, this was in a 2019 episode and Michael and Angela are still together on the show in 2024. More recently, Angela was prepared to divorce Michael for sure when he was caught cheating on her with a 30-year-old American woman. Angela had come prepared with divorce papers and also flirted with the staff on 90 Day: The Last Resort, hinting at how she was over Michael. I wasn’t surprised when Angela proceeded to tear the papers during the recommitment ceremony. She wanted to give Michael yet another chance.

Angela Announced Michael's "Disappearance" On Day 3

Angela Waited For A Long Time To Deliver The Bad News

Michael had already been spotted in the U.S. almost three times when Angela told viewers that he had gone “missing” from her Georgia home. Angela and Michael looked very much in love in every photo of them together I saw online (via 90dayfianceupdate.) Angela posted a TikTok video to claim Michael had been “missing since the 23rd” on February 26, 2024. Angela took three days to tell fans that Michael had left her. She claimed Michael only had $40 on him. They had been living together for almost three months by that time.

Michael Was Found On The Same Day The News Broke

Did Michael Plan His "Disappearance" All Along?

Strangely, Angela didn’t notice Michael had a burner phone on him all along. Moreover, Michael was “found” right after the Live in which Angela revealed he was missing ended. I don’t think it was a mere coincidence that Michael ed the police at the same time that Angela’s Live talking about Michael’s disappearance was over. Michael had pictures of his port on his burner phone. I find it hard to believe that Angela let Michael get out of her sight for even a minute since he came to the U.S. How did he get his hands on a burner phone then?

Michael Launched His Cameo

Michael Is Earning Big Money Through His Suffering

Viewers hailed Michael as a hero for finally gathering the courage to leave Angela and break free from her control. Michael had been missing in action since he was located. However, he announced his comeback to social media by launching his Cameo profile in April. Michael knew that fans were going to him during the difficult time and wouldn’t mind spending on him. Cameo is a big income source for some reality TV stars. Big Ed has earned six figures and Michael wants to follow his path, but Michael is getting attention for the right reasons as he is the victim.

Michael's Social Media Following Continues To Grow

Michael Is Making The Most Of The Situation

After Cameo, it was Michael’s turn to make an Instagram . I watched as Michael’s followers grew overnight, and his became verified. Michael currently has 27.8k followers. He launched his page just a couple of weeks before his comeback to reality TV with 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Michael always wanted to be an Instagram influencer. With the controversy now surrounding him and Angela, and fans’ curiosity about him, Michael’s followers are continuing to grow, and he will have brand deals and Instagram rewards in no time.

Angela Fueled Rumors She Was Fired

Angela Led Viewers Believe What They Wanted

Rumors of Angela getting fired from the franchise grew following Michael’s disappearance. Angela was mocked for already having spoiled her storyline. By that time, Angela was announced as a Happily Ever After? season 8 cast member, but 9 episodes were over, and I still had to see Angela on screen with Michael. Angela fueled rumors herself by removing all mentions of 90 Day Fiancé from her IG bio. Fans thought they’d gotten rid of Angela and would never see her again. However, Angela came back to the franchise with a bang in episode 10.

Even "Bad" Publicity Is Good Publicity For Angela

Angela Is Not Deterred By The Hate That Comes Her Way

All the hate comments that Angela is getting about how much she deserved the way Michael abandoned her are getting her lots of authentic, organic engagement on her social media profiles. Angela has indirectly encouraged fans to mock her on her page, while the comments don’t affect her thick skin. Angela manages to keep herself in the news and her followers will keep growing so they can watch what happens next in Angela’s life after her split. I’d say Angela has crafted a winning Instagram organic growth strategy without putting in much effort.

Angela & Michael's Instagram Content Is Eerily Similar

Angela & Michael Prove They Are Soulmates

Angela and Michael might have split, but something that makes them look like soulmates is the way they handle their social media pages. Both Angela and Michael believe in taking digs at each other through their Instagram Stories by reposting quotes and Reels that help them speak what’s on their mind in the snarkiest way possible. This playful quality of the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? couple has kept them together for eight years and might just help them stay married for eighty more if they do manage to come back together.

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
