Yates shared that he said he “feared for his life,” adding that Ilesanmi told the police that he didn’t want Deem to know where he was. Deem said she was “very angry” upon discovering that her husband was apparently hiding from her.
On Monday (26), Deem conducted a livestream, revealing that Ilesanmi disappeared in Georgia after arriving from his home country, Nigeria, in December 2023. Deem attempted to contact her spouse’s family in West Africa but was unsuccessful.
Deem and Ilesanmi met online in 2018 during the second season of the reality show “90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days” and got married in Nigeria two years later. Their relationship has had its ups and downs over the years.
Deem had previously considered divorcing her husband after alleging that he cheated on her with a woman he met online. “He hardly ever calls. And when he does, it’s only because of the visa or because he needs money,” she later admitted.
