The Valley's Michelle Saniei Lally and Jesse Lally may not have had the best marriage, but the two are making things work as friends and co-parents.
How to Watch
Both Jesse and Michelle — who share daughter Isabella Bunny Lally together, have moved on in their respective love lives since they announced their divorce; Michelle went public with her romance with Aaron Nosler in April 2024, while Jesse also has been dating "a beautiful soul" for quite a while now.
What's more, Michelle and Aaron are even hanging out with Jesse.
This was revealed when Brittany Cartwright posted a photo of Jesse sitting on Aaron's lap on her Instagram Stories on Sept. 4. In the photo, Aaron and Jesse are embracing while sitting outside together. Brittany tagged Aaron, Jesse, and Michelle in the Story.
Michelle re-posted the image, which you can check out below, on her own Story, writing, "lol."
When did Michelle and Jesse from The Valley split?
Shortly before Season 1 of The Valley premiered in March 2024, Michelle and Jesse announced their separation. The couple had privately separated months earlier, in October 2023, following a trip they had taken to Montecito for their five-year wedding anniversary.
The former couple, who wed in 2018, opened up about their marital issues on the show. They explained how their marriage began to suffer after their daughter was born during the pandemic.
"It's so sad because COVID was different for everybody," Jesse said on an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in May 2024. "We had Isabella literally a month into lockdown, and how do you balance [that when we had] no help, no grandma, no grandpa — it was just very difficult."
When filming commenced on Season 1, Jesse thought that the two were actually in an "amazing" place in their marriage. However, his opinion soon changed when he watched the show back and realized that Michelle wasn't happy.
On WWHL, he said that he was surprised at how many times Michelle said that she was "kind of done and checked out" on Season 1.
Do Jesse and Michelle Lally still work together?
During their marriage, Jesse and Michelle often worked alongside one another as real estate agents on the same team. When they broke up, they chose to separate their work partnership as well.
Jesse, more specifically, shared on WWHL that he and his ex now only work together when matters come up for the "past and present clients" they shared.
