The legal nightmare is finally over for Michael Ilesanmi. Nearly two years after Angela Deem secretly filed for an annulment to have him deported, a Georgia judge has officially signed off on their divorce. Today, March 10, 2026, marks the day Michael reclaimed his freedom.
Victory at the Courthouse
Michael broke the news to his followers in an emotional Instagram video filmed directly outside the Jeff Davis County Courthouse in Hazlehurst, Georgia. Holding his divorce decree in the air, a beaming Michael told his «fam,» «Finally! I’m divorced. Here’s the paperwork!» The journey to this moment was a grueling one. After Angela attempted to annul their marriage—which would have jeopardized Michael’s legal status in the U.S.—fans rallied behind the Nigerian reality star, donating over $50,000 to fund his legal defense.
«It hasn’t been an easy journey,» Michael admitted in the clip, «but I want to say thank you to everybody. God bless you all.»
A «Single Life» Celebration
The post quickly drew attention from other franchise stars. Jasmine Pineda, who is currently navigating her own high-profile split from Gino Palazzolo, commented:
«Mine is coming soon! Let’s celebrate together.»
While a settlement agreement was filed between Michael and Angela, the specific financial details remain under wraps. However, the decree signed by Judge Roger B. Lane confirms that Michael is now legally single and ready to start his new chapter in America—far away from the volatile shadow of his former marriage.
