The Valley‘s Michelle Saniei is not only finding her inner peace — she’s making it a priority.
The luxury real estate agent took to her Instagram Stories on Sept. 4, posting a selfie of herself looking cool and collected in the green grass of California. Wearing a Beverly Hills-themed shirt, which happens to align with her and estranged hubby Jesse Lally’s business with The Beverly Hills Estates, Michelle shared a little insight into her life and daily routine. As she wrote over the snap, “How I start my day.”
Michelle wore wireless earbuds and paired the post with a happy tune — CYRIL’s “Put Your Records On,” in fact. She continued, “An hour a day to clear my mind, stretch my legs, and love my life.”
Michelle’s daily ritual comes at a time when it’s good to practice the act of gratitude. Not only is the mom of 5-year-old daughter Isabella Bunny Lally navigating co-parenting with her ex, but the passing of her mother less than a year ago and her more recent breakup with boyfriend Aaron Nosler have certainly added to the stressors in Michelle’s life.
Those tuning into The Valley’s Season 2 finale will recall when Michelle hosted what she later called “actually the most un-zen zen party I’ve ever been to in my life.” The rooftop zen party, decorated with mood-chilling crystals, was meant to be Michelle’s way of bringing the cast together to manifest positive energy. Unfortunately, it didn’t work, as tensions spilled over to the reunion, but her intentions (and manifestations) were in the right place.

Details on Michelle Saniei’s new home
Michelle’s healing journey comes as she enters a new chapter in her life. Less than two weeks ago, she announced on Instagram that she had a new home to share with Isabella. She was all smiles in the video clip, in which she captioned “New space, new energy!”

Continued Michelle in the August 26 post, “I officially moved today and couldn’t be more grateful for the smoothest experience ever,” as she thanked the moving company. She referred to the change as “the fresh start I’ve been waiting for.”
As previously covered in The Valley, Michelle moved out of her and Jesse’s once-shared home, the “Chateau Marmont House” and into a two-bedroom condo mere blocks away from her ex. She told Bravo’s The Daily Dish, “I wanted to live close by because I didn’t want to affect Isabella’s life at all … So you know, everything is about five minutes away, her school. So I stayed in the same neighborhood so we could walk to school or walk to Jesse’s house.”
Of the recent move, fellow cast member Nia Booko commented with a few clapping emojis, while Janet Caperna stated, “We love this new era for you.”
Is Michelle Saniei dating anyone?
In an August 24 video on TikTok, Michelle posted herself lip-syncing to a Spanish sound clip that roughly translates to: “If you want to know that I have a boyfriend, I don’t have a boyfriend. I am happy and single in love with life!”
She captioned, “The future is looking bright,” a prediction ringing true, if her most recent zen selfie is any indication.
