Michelle Lally opened up about her divorce and ex-husband, Jesse Lally, during an “Ask Me Anything” session on her Instagram Story earlier this week.
Months after confirming they were parting ways after nearly six years of marriage as The Valley began airing on Bravo, Michelle, 36, took to social media to answer questions from her fans and followers, many of whom wanted to know about her and Jesse’s dynamic and the upcoming second season of their show.
“Why did you move out?” one person asked.
“He was never going to leave and I had to,” Michelle replied.
“Why is [Jesse] so high maintenance?” wondered another.
“Beats me,” Michelle admitted. “Not my problem anymore.”
Someone else asked Michelle if she had any tips for families going through a divorce with little girls.
“Think of the child first,” she offered. “I always say positive things to Isabella about her dad (even if I’m angry with him) … Attend important functions together and let them see that you are both friends and can be together in the same room (set your differences aside).”
“Isabella is much happier seeing her parents in a better place,” she added.
Then, when another IG user asked, “Have you guys started filming?,” Michelle failed to comment, instead responding with a winking face emoji.
Michelle Lally on Divorce Tips and The Valley Season 2
Since filming The Valley season one in 2023, Michelle and Jesse have moved on from their marriage with new partners, including her boyfriend, Aaron Nosler, and his girlfriend, Lacy Nicole.
During a Q&A with her fans and followers in May, Michelle said that when it came to how she and Jesse revealed their split to Isabella, she’s not so sure that they did it “the right way.”
“I felt she is a little [too] young for an explanation,” Michelle explained. “I did tell her that she was going to have two houses and mommy and daddy weren’t going to live together but she has [two] homes no matter what and we both love her so much.”
“She didn’t really ask and it quickly became the new normal for her,” she added.
The Valley season two is expected to begin airing on Bravo sometime later this year or early next year.
