90 Day Fiancé’s Michael Ilesanmi looks smug next to a mystery figure.

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star Michael Ilesanmi’s real name has fans wondering if he has a secret twin! Michael from Nigeria lived in Lagos when he met Angela Deem in 2017. Angela often flew to Lagos to meet Michael and spend a few weeks with him every year along with 90 Day Fiancé cameras. Michael always wished to move to the U.S. but his K-1 visa being rejected was a huge setback for the couple. Their next best option was to get married in Nigeria itself, so Michael could come to America on a spousal visa.

Michael started his new life in “Paradise,” as he describes the U.S. in December 2023. He was dissatisfied with how Angela treated him in Georgia, so Michael left for Texas, where he began living with his new family. Angela filed for an annulment claiming Michael tricked her into marrying him so he could gain permanent resident status legally. She wants him to get thrown out of the country, but the smile on Michael’s face in every Instagram post he shares shows that he’s confident about spending the rest of his life living his American dream and without Angela.

Michael’s Real Name Is Kehinde Ilesanmi

Angela’s “K” Necklace Is Infamous

In February 2023, Reddit user u/_R-Amen_, noticed that Angela and Michael wore matching necklaces. Both had a black thread as a necklace with a heart pendant with an initial. Michael’s pendant and an “A” initial while Angela wore one with a “K” initial. “Does anyone know if Michael has another name that starts with ‘K’?’” the fan asked fellow viewers. “It’s his Nigerian name. Michael is his English name,” wrote UnderstandingQuirky8. They further added that Michael’s name was Kehinde. Fans wondered why Michael didn’t use his real name on 90 Day Fiancé.

Redditor Fickle_Ruin_6916 shared something unique about Michael’s name “Kehinde” in November 2024. They asked if Michael was a twin. They explained that Michael’s name, Kehinde, has a special significance. It’s a name traditionally given to a twin, with the other sibling being named “Taiwo.” HotChocolate_09 explained that Taiwo is for the first twin that is born, whether it is male or female. Taiwo “literally” means first twin and Kehinde means “second born” of the twins.

Interestingly, on the show, Michael revealed that he has a total of 16 siblings because both his dad and mom had married ” a couple of times .”

Michael is known for his secretive nature. It could be something his introverted nature’s mistaken for. Michael has hardly shared details about his past with 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? viewers. Michael is currently keeping his dating life a secret. He’d previously been in a relationship with an American woman who he texted while Angela was sleeping next to him. Even if Michael has a twin brother or sister, it’s likely he won’t be introducing them to his fans and exposing his private life, which he’s kept guarded despite being a reality TV celeb to the public.
