Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi have come a long way since they were introduced to viewers. The pair made their debut in 2014 on the second season of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days and are now preparing to wed on the fifth season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?

Seemingly feeling nostalgic, Angela recently shared a throwback photo of her and Michael from the earlier days in their relationship. And while many people gushed over the picture, others were pretty disturbed by what they saw.

Angela Deem’s picture with Michael Ilesanmi

Over the weekend of July 31, Angela took to Instagram to share an old photo with Michael, whom she began dating after meeting him on social media.

In the picture, Michael is seen standing in front of a mirror with his hand rested near his crotch area while Angela wraps her arms around him with one hand on his chest and another where a pants zipper would be.

“#Tbt with my ❤🤗😘,” she captioned the photo, adding the hashtags #2yrsago, #2018, #90daysfiance, #naijalove, and #Teamangelamichael.

Fan reactions to Angela Deem’s picture with Michael Ilesanmi

The post garnered over 25,000 likes, with troves of fans complimenting them in the comment section. “I love the way you look at him 💖 You look so happy!” one fan wrote while another person exclaimed, “this is such a nice picture of you two! 😊❤”

But others were disturbed by the positioning of Angela’s left hand and called her out on it. “why r u grabbing his🍒” one fan wondered while another person asked, “How can I unsee this.”

A third fan called the photo “a hot mess” as someone else wrote, “Girl u need to calm down.”

As the reactions poured in, several fans defended the pair from the criticism, including one social media user who said, “Love the way the arms are positioned!!!”

As of writing, neither Angela nor Michael has reacted to the backlash.

Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi’s relationship has been heating up on the show

In the latest episodes of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Angela and Michael are preparing to marry in Michael’s native Nigeria. Both seem really excited about the upcoming ceremony. But at the same time, there have also been some conflicts in their relationship, including concerns that Angela might not be able to naturally have children.

Michael has long expressed a desire to have children and has suggested that it would be a dealbreaker not to have kids. But Angela, 54, learned on the show that she has essentially no chances of conceiving due to menopause. Her doctor has floated the option of in vitro fertilization, but it remains to be seen if that’s something they’ll actually pursue.

In the upcoming episode, which airs on Aug. 9, the two are slated to sit down and talk about their next steps, so stay tuned to see what happens.
