Who Is Michelle Saniei Dating? Valley Cast Reacts to Dr. Dre Rumors

The Valley cast members Janet Caperna and Zack Wickham are addressing the rumors surrounding Michelle Saniei’s dating life.

Several news outlets, including TMZ and PEOPLE, reported in late April that Michelle was seen out with rap legend Dr. Dre on April 25 as they left Nobu Malibu together. Although neither Michelle nor Dr. Dre has confirmed if they are dating, Michelle’s The Valley cast members are sharing their thoughts on the rumored relationship.

Janet spoke with The Daily Dish in April, where she admitted that she found out about the relationship with the rest of the world. “I feel like Michelle, she’s a very private person in general. So I feel like whenever she’s dating anybody, she normally likes to go on a couple dates first and make sure she’s feeling the person before she’s telling all of us. She doesn’t want to get invested in somebody that she’s like, ‘Oh, that didn’t end up working out for me,'” she said. “But I called her, and I got a little bit of tea, and I made sure to set a lunch date as soon as I’m back so I can get all of the tea.”

Zack told The Daily Dish earlier this month that he has not yet caught up with Michelle to discuss the rumors. “I’ll find out just like everybody else. But, the only person she told was Lala [Kent],” he stated.

He continued, noting that he is happy for his ex-wife, for whom he shares daughter, Isabella Bunny Lally. “Michelle’s divorced and she’s single and whatever makes her happy is cool,” he said.

Brittany Cartwright says she will “support” Michelle Saniei amid her rumored relationship

The Valley‘s Brittany Cartwright, however, has been in touch with Michelle and talked to her about her dating life. Brittany took her podcast, When Reality Hits, on May 1, where she revealed what she knows about Michelle’s rumored relationship. 

“I’m not going to say too much about this because I don’t really know a lot about it. Of course, I’ve been talking to Michelle and everything, and I’m always going to have her back and support her no matter what she does,” she admitted during the episode. “I think it’s just something that is new right now.”

“I will always support Michelle. I love her,” Brittany added. “Don’t really know what’s going on. Don’t know if it’s serious. Don’t know if it’s fun. Don’t know much about anything. But still, I love Michelle. So that’s my girl and I support her always.”
