Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi‘s story has been at the center of a few iterations of 90 Day Fiance now—including The Last Resort and Happily Ever After. Her kids and grandkids, of which there are six and two respectively, had strong feelings about her chosen person from the beginning.
Angela is from the U.S. and Michael is from Nigeria. They met online when he private messaged her on Facebook. Making their franchise debut on season 2 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days in 2018, their 22-year age gap and different cultural backgrounds have often led to clashes and misunderstandings, which of course makes for spicy watching.
Angela’s living situation also presents some challenges. One of her two daughters, Skyla, lives with her and Angela takes care of all six of her grandchildren. In February 2024, Michael briefly disappeared—he was supposed to be watching the grandkids while Angela went to the shops. He later told the police he was safe, but it appears he’s moved on with another family in Texas.
While we don’t have information on all of Angela’s grandkids, here’s what we do know.
Meet Angela from 90 Day Fiance‘s kids and grandkids

Daughter Skyla

One notable storyline is that Angela hoped Skyla would be their marriage witness, but Skyla refused because she didn’t approve of her mom marrying a foreign guy 30 years her junior.
“I don’t think this relationship will make Mama happy because they don’t have anything in common. Even though opposites attract … they don’t last,” Skyla explained in a confessional.
Angela’s desire to have a child with Michael has also been a source of contention. Due to her age and health issues, having a baby naturally was unlikely, so Angela considered options like surrogacy or using one of her daughters’ eggs. Skyla was resistant to the idea of being a surrogate or donating her eggs, which created tension.

Daughter Scottie

In 2018, Scottie was arrested and charged with multiple counts of child molestation and statutory rape involving a minor. The charges stemmed from incidents that took place over several months. In 2019, she pleaded guilty to three counts of child molestation and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Prison records showed that Scottie was released on parole on May 6, 2020, possibly due to overcrowding.
She did however appear on an episode of The Maury Show before Angela was on 90 Day Fiance. Angela claimed that the father of Scottie’s daughter, Anna Skye, was not a man named Terry but Angela’s ex-boyfriend, Chris.

Granddaughter Marlee
Mom: Skyla
Marlee is one of Angela’s grandkids and we have to assume she’s one half of a twin. In March 2020, Angela wished Marlee a happy birthday, and wished Ariah happy birthday, too.

Granddaughter Ariah
Mom: Skyla
Ariah is presumably Marlee’s twin sister. We don’t know who her father is.

Granddaughter Anna Skye

We have to take a guess here, but Anna Skye is Scottie’s daughter and we think Angela’s first grandchild. She was the subject of a paternity test on an episode of Maury before Angela was on 90 Day.

Granddaughter Sid
Mom: Skyla
Sid is Skyla’s third child and one of Angela’s grandchildren.
