Michelle Saniei’s Love Life & Divorce on The Valley Season 3

Michelle Saniei is “embracing her new single life” on The Valley Season 3 after finalizing her divorce from her ex-husband Jesse Lally, and breaking up with her ex-boyfriend Aaron Nosler over the summer. 

According to an announcement for The Valley Season 3, Michelle is “now fully embracing her new single life and finally focusing on herself” by “starting fresh in a new home” with her and Jesse’s daughter, Isabella Bunny Lally. But, Jesse’s relationship with his girlfriend Lacy Nicole is making things a bit more complicated. 

Although Michelle is “more than ready to let her hair down and let go of the past” in Season 3, her “looming divorce and the constant pressure of Jesse and Lacy around her friends weigh on her. Following the first anniversary of her mom’s passing, Michelle works through grief and forms a close bond with Lala [Kent] and an unexpected romance with Tom [Schwartz].”

Elsewhere in the The Valley Season 3 trailer, Michelle can be seen stripping down on a beach, flirting with Tom, and laying in bed with Lala and Tom. But, things get emotional between her and Jesse, as seen in the video above, when she begs for him to divorce her. “I just want to be happy again,” she tells him with tears in her eyes.

Read on to learn more about where Michelle and Jesse stand today, her breakup from Aaron, and if she is dating anyone now.

Michelle Saniei shares details about her breakup from Aaron Nosler

These updates come on the heels of Michelle’s breakup from Aaron. A source close to the real estate agent confirmed to The Daily Dish in July 2025 that the couple had “parted ways.” Michelle shed light on the breakup during an appearance on The Peaks and The Valley panel at BravoCon 2025.

“I lived on my own for a year, I moved in with him, and we just realized quickly that, you know, he was just not ready for my situation with a child, and it was just better to be apart,” she said.

Michelle continued to open up about the breakup on Lala’s podcast episode. “There was a combination of things. He was looking for a perfectionist and the perfect wife, and I think I didn’t hit a lot of those boxes,” she added. “I’m actually really happy that we’re no longer together.”
