The married couple struggled to bring Michael to the States for years. After getting engaged, Angela applied for a K-1 visa, which they were denied twice. Instead of waiting for Michael’s K-1 visa to be accepted, they were married in Nigeria. They then decided to file for a CR-1 spousal visa.

They Shot The Tell All Before Michael Went “Missing”
Unfortunately for the90 Day Fiancéproduction team,theHappily Ever After?season 8 Tell All was filmed in January 2024, according to Reddit userMagemaud. While the special hasn’t aired yet, clips from the reunion have been teased in episodes. Notably,Michael is present in person in those teaser clips, with host Shaun Robinson looking stunned by his presence, further proving that he made it to the States before the Tell All was filmed.
There’s been no confirmation that the Tell All was shot in January 2024, but it must have been filmed between December 2023 and February 2024.
The production team behindHappily Ever After?season 8 couldn’t have anticipated Michael’s February 2024 disappearance. However, it’s quite disappointing that they chose to film the reunion special at that time. The series hadn’t even started airing in January 2024, meaningthey got a head start on ensuring that the Tell All would be filmed, edited, and ready to air by the end ofHappily Ever After?season 8.
Because of the filming schedule, Angela and Michael’s split will likely not be covered in any capacity in the episodes or Tell All. It’s disheartening that the fate of their relationship has been spoiled by media coverage. However, neither Angela nor Michael can stay out of the spotlight in the wake of their breakup, and it’s unlikely TLC will feature them as a couple on a future season of the show.

In late February 2024, Angela shared a shocking revelation - she said that her husband was missing. Angela explained that Michael left most of his personal belongings with her, which led her to believe he hadn’t left her. However, the Nigerian reality star later confirmed to the authorities that he was okay, citing that he ran away from Angela:
“in fear of his life.”
Since he left his wife, they’ve thrown shots at each other on social media. Angela has attacked Michael’s character and hinted that she’s trying to get him deported. She may not be able to accomplish this goal.
Their split is still a hot topic in the90 Day Fiancéuniverse.Production is likely upset that cameras weren’t up during this hectic time.They could have begun filming Angela and Michael separately after their split, but no rumors of production doing that have surfaced. Angela and Michael have been a staple couple in the franchise for quite some time. It’s astounding that a pivotal aspect of their relationship - the breakup - won’t be on the show.
