Angela's friends and family worried Michael was taking advantage of Angela and would try to scam her out of money or for a Green Card, but Angela chose to follow her heart.
While getting to know one another better, Angela struggled with the couple's age difference and her jealousy and trust issues. The pair broke up and made up multiple times after explosive arguments.
But Angela still applied for a K-1 visa, which Michael was denied. Angela therefore married Michael in Nigeria on Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, despite losing the American wedding of her dreams.
Michael promised he never had any intention to leave Angela and told the cameras, "I am truly in love with her, and I want to be with her -- Green Card or not."
The couple then applied for a K-3 spousal visa after tying the knot, which they anticipated would take 9-18 months to be approved, and Angela planned to have a second wedding in the United States once Michael arrived in America.
But another problem still lingered after the wedding: Michael desperately wants a biological child and Angela was told giving birth would be a serious risk to her health and she had no eggs.
And Michael also seemed to assume Angela would take on the traditional housewife role like the typical Nigerian wife -- cooking and cleaning the home -- but Angela refused and put up a fight.
During 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s sixth-season premiere, Angela revealed she hadn't seen Michael in seven months and couldn't fly to Nigeria whenever she wanted for a visit due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The pair was still waiting for Michael's spousal visa to be approved and Angela, weighing 273 pounds at the time, intended to go under the knife for weight-loss surgery despite Michael's approval.

RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOW"I thought that marrying Michael would make my worries go away, but actually, they've gotten worse. He's going to be 33, I'm going to be 55. My skin's going to change, and I'm going to start to look older than I am," Angela lamented.
"And Michael is still going to be as young as he looked the day I married him. So if I'm not young, I need to at least look the damn part and it starts with my weight."
But Michael told his wife, "You know I like big things. I love you the way you are."
Michael explained in a confessional, "People have lost their [lives] getting this kind of surgery here in Nigeria. I feel she want to risk it all. You know, she just wants a quick result, so she had to go for the bigger surgeries."
Michael said he liked Angela's curvy body just the way it was, and he also worried about pushing back their timeline for trying to start a family.
"If Angela decided not to have kids at all, I think I will have to divorce her. That makes me feel so sad and upset because I love her so much," Michael told the cameras.
In addition, Michael feared Angela's new sexy look would attract men and she might leave him.
Angela was a little disappointed her husband wasn't being more supportive and compassionate.

Dr. Obeng told Angela that she'd probably lose 40 to 50 pounds and so she'd have loose skin under her chin, around her breasts and more. The doctor discussed Angela having a breast reduction and lift as well as liposuction to remove extra skin.

Dr. Obeng said they could address the skin on Angela's stomach, thighs and more once she reached her weight-loss goal.
"My family is already worried to death about just the weight-loss surgery. Now I've got to tell them that I've got more news for them, and oh God, it seems like it never ends," Angela lamented in a confessional.
Prior to her surgery, Angela FaceTimed Michael from her hotel room in California and revealed her surgeon from Ghana had "medically handled" and "examined" her breasts during a consultation, which resulted in her decision to also undergo a breast reduction.
"I'm not happy with all this surgery... There's nothing I can say now. But just do it. I wish I could talk to the doctor about you adjusting your boob size and all that," Michael said.
Angela complained that Michael seemed more worried about her losing her big boobs "to play with" than he was worried about her breathing and overall health. Michael insisted he just wanted his wife to be okay and would be praying for her.
Michael was then shown meeting up with his brother Yekini, one of Michael's 16 siblings, and Michael shared how Nigerian men value big boobs and Angela's chest is one of the things that initially attracted him to Angela.
Michael wished Angela was concerned about his opinion, but American women are different from Nigerian women, who allow their husbands to 100 percent control their lives, according to Yekini.
Michael feared Angela would become skinny and beautiful and then attract other men and potentially cheat on him.
Angela then underwent her one-hour weight-loss surgery followed by a three-hour breast reduction and lift. Angela prayed all of the preparation and recovery would be worth it.
Dr. Obeng apparently took out about two pounds of breast and gave Angela a perky Double-D chest, and it appeared Angela had trouble waking up from the anesthesia.

When Michael saw Angela's new body for the first time over videochat, he seemed upset and displeased that her chest size was so much smaller.
Angela couldn't believe Michael was just concerned with her looks rather than about her pain and how she was feeling.
Angela was already feeling insecure about the new size of her breasts and wished Michael would reassure her that everything was going to be fine. She wanted her husband to build her confidence up and support her.
"He made me feel worse. I shouldn't have to worry about my husband thinking I'm deformed... He should love me no matter what," Angela complained.
Angela appeared to be mentally and physically exhausted after her surgery, and she told the cameras that even strong women can reach "a breaking point."
Upon learning about Angela's desire to have a facelift, Michael appeared shocked and yelled, "I don't like this! I don't like it!" Michael even hung up the call on his wife, which really angered Angela.
"If you do the facelift now, I don't support you," Michael said, adding that he wanted to make decisions together with his wife. "I am putting my foot down. She is not doing any more surgeries."
But Angela told the cameras that she was going to do whatever she wanted to her body, whether Michael liked it or not.
The procedure was going to cost $25,000, which made Michael's jaw drop to the floor. Angela didn't think Michael had the right to complain about the money given she had financially supported their relationship since the start.
Angela wanted to do something for herself, but Michael told the cameras they could use that money towards trying to have a baby.

Angela questioned whether Michael was going to divorce her over this, but he said that was not his intention.
So are Michael and Angela still together now or has the 90 Day Fiance couple broken up?
Angela and Michael got married on January 27, 2020 in Nigeria, but the wedding bliss apparently didn't last long.Angela has admitted her long-distance relationship with Michael has been "hell."
"At one point, I was telling Michael, 'You've changed since we got married and we're not even living together yet. Don't take that for granted because there's always a damn divorce court right around the corner,'" Angela recalled in an April 2021 interview with Entertainment Tonight.
"I feel like he married me and then he [changed]. We literally went through hell and it was bad, and you'll see that."
For instance, Angela alleged Michael wasn't supportive after she underwent a gastric sleeve reduction, liposuction on her back, and a breast reduction in August 2020.
The surgeon also addressed two hernias she had and so Angela was under general anesthesia for five to six hours.
Angela, who has lost 100 pounds since her procedures, said her grandchildren were her "main support" through the long recovery process, which really caused some tension between Michael and herself.

"I can tell you he was a butt," Angela admitted.
"He was a total ass. I can tell you a little bit, that I was in this alone... You know, I did my boobs and he loved my boobs. I don't know if it was just him not being a part of it because he was over there [in Nigeria] at the time or what, but we went through it."

"I told my lawyer, 'I'm definitely not going to put up with this. If he's like this all the way over there, then what's he going to be like here [in the United States?]'" Angela lamented.
Angela suggested Michael has a way of bringing out the worst in her.
"Michael always gives me a reason to explode. I think he likes it when I get upset because it shows I care about him in some crazy way," Angela explained.
"He put me through hell while I was healing and it's all real. The struggle was real!"
But despite the obstacles they've faced as a married couple, Angela confirmed she and Michael are still together and working things out.
Angela has posted photos and videos with Michael on Instagram as recently as early May 2021, and she captions many of her posts with red-heart emojis.
For example, Angela posted a photo with Michael and her mother-in-law to wish Michael's mom a Happy Mother's Day, and she also recently shared a side-by-side TikTok video of Michael and Angela dancing to the same song.

In addition, Michael's bio on his own Instagram account reads, "I LOVE MY WIFE ANGELA."
Angela told ET that she hopes Michael can move to the United States soon, especially since the international travel ban has been lifted amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"I'm hoping and praying. We've got my lawyer looking into it and I've contacted Congress," Angela revealed.

Angela is also still considering having a child with Michael, although she insisted she won't consider carrying a baby herself.
"I know in my heart once Michael gets here, he has a way of getting me to do things. So I'm not going to say it's out the window," Angela shared of becoming a mom again.
She elaborated, "I don't want to raise a baby alone... We'll talk about it more once he gets here and we'll go from there."
The reality TV star joked she still needs an egg in order to have a baby.
"I'm still after [my daughter] Skyla's eggs!... We'll figure it out, but right now, I want to enjoy my weight loss," Angela noted.

One thing is for certain though: Angela said she doesn't want to "tote the baby."
"Of course if he wants it, I want it for him, but we'll figure it out. I definitely won't tote it. I've come to my senses. I am too old to tote a baby," Angela explained.
"And if anybody could tote it, I know I could, but why would I want to lose all this weight and do that? We'll definitely do a surrogate and hopefully I can get some blood-related egg."
