The Family Chantel star Winter Everett has left fans speculating whether she’s now married to Angela Deem’s ex, Nigerian native Michael Ilesanmi. Winter, the youngest of Chantel Everett’s siblings, first appeared in 90 Day Fiancé season 4 as part of Chantel and Pedro Jimeno’s storyline. Winter previously dated Jah for seven years, but their relationship raised numerous red flags. Winter confirmed their breakup in The Family Chantel season 4. Since then, she has focused on self-growth, prioritizing her well-being and working on what she called her “revenge body” transformation.

Now, those rumors feel more likely than ever, as Winter has been teasing a new man in her life. Though she has yet to reveal his face, many of her followers strongly suspect it could be Michael.
