On the day her divorce was finalized, Angela Deem was inside the courthouse with her lawyer and her daughter Skyla. Outside, she said, her ex-husband Michael Ilesanmi was filming himself celebrating his new single life. That is the scene Angela chose to describe on a recent TikTok livestream — and it was only the first of three revelations she packed into one broadcast.
The Offer Has Been on the Table Since Last Year
The biggest news from that livestream had nothing to do with Michael. Angela told viewers that TLC has approached Skyla about joining the upcoming season of 90 Day: The Single Life, according to a report by 90dayfiance-news-and-memes.com. Producers have been asking since last year, Angela said, and the offer is still standing. Skyla has turned it down every time so far. Her mother, meanwhile, is doing the opposite of what most viewers might expect: Angela said she has been encouraging her daughter to give it a chance.
Skyla Didn’t Come to TV for Herself
Angela was candid about why that encouragement cuts both ways. She admitted that Skyla first appeared on the show mainly to support her mother — as backup, not as a lead. A Single Life spot would flip that arrangement entirely: Skyla would be the one dating on camera, making her own choices, while her mother watches from the sidelines. It is the difference between standing behind someone and standing on your own, and after years in Angela’s shadow, that is a bigger ask than a casting offer usually sounds.
The Family Spinoff That Never Happened
Angela also looked back at a door that already closed. She said she and her younger daughter Scottie were once expected to front their own show together, but the deal fell apart because Scottie is a registered sex offender. Angela mentioned it briefly, as part of the same livestream, and moved on.
Three Years Quiet — and a Book to Tell Her Side
That restraint may not last. Angela said she has stayed quiet about many things for three years, and she is now writing a book to tell her side of the story. She stressed that the project is going through the proper legal channels, with lawyers involved — and that she is not using AI to write it. She also returned to the marriage itself, saying Michael had repeatedly lied to her during their relationship, and that his courthouse celebration stung all the more because he had previously told her he did not want to take part in TLC shows anymore. Michael has since returned to the franchise as a single on season 2 of Hunt for Love, while the divorce itself was finalized in 2026.

Not Fired — and Not Chasing Love Stories Either
As for her own future, Angela drew a clear line. She said she is no longer interested in returning to relationship-focused shows — but she also made clear she has not been fired, and that she could still take part if the network approached her and she chose to accept. In other words, the door is open; she is simply not the one knocking on it anymore.
That leaves the real question with Skyla. The offer has been sitting there since last year, her mother is pushing her toward it, and the only person who has not said yes is the one the show actually wants. If Skyla did step out of her mother’s shadow and onto The Single Life, would you be rooting for her to find someone — or would you tell her to keep the one thing her mother never got to keep: a love life nobody films?
