Even though Jesse Lally and Michelle Saniei have filed for divorce, cheating rumors persisted during Season 2 of The Valley — particularly about Michelle’s relationship with then-boyfriend Aaron Nosler. Naturally, said rumors were a topic of conversation at the Season 2 reunion.
Host Andy Cohen, more specifically, asked Michelle during Part 2 of the reunion if she was in an “emotional relationship” with Aaron while still married to Jesse.
Michelle flatly denied the allegation, but Jesse disagreed, stating, “That is so false, because he admitted to me in Hawaii you guys used to meet up at the park, while [our daughter] Isabella ran around. He used to ask you for advice on his girls that he was dating.”
Michelle responded by arguing “that’s not an emotional relationship,” but Jesse shot back, “You asked him for advice on our marriage and our separation.”
Cue a clip of “unseen footage,” in which Aaron can be seen telling Jesse, “I would tell her about all these girls I was dating. And I would get her opinion on them. And the only time she ever brought you guys up was when she said she was about to file [for] separation from you.”
Michelle, however, was unfazed by the reveal. “Yeah and he told me about girls he dated,” she replied, defending herself. “How is that an emotional relationship?”
“Come on,” Jesse responded. “A married woman with a child asking a single guy for advice about her husband? That is wildly, wildly inappropriate.”

Where Michelle Saniei and Jesse Lally stand today
Although Michelle and Jesse’s contentious divorce is ongoing, they are still working on co-parenting their 5-year-old daughter Isabella and have even solidified a custody agreement.
“It’s very strict and we both get to see her every two days, and switch holidays,” Michelle told The Daily Dish in May. “So, she’s basically with both parents very often, which I think is very healthy for her to have Mom and Dad. And that aspect is actually really great.”
Jesse agreed that the co-parenting aspect of their relationship is positive — at the moment.
“In this moment, it’s going really well,” Jesse told The Daily Dish in May. “You know, ask me that a year ago — so much has changed. So, it’s going pretty well right now. Ask me tomorrow.”
Michelle and Jesse even recently took a moment to reunite for Isabella’s graduation from Pre-K, with Michelle posting a picture of the three of them on Instagram. “No matter what, we’ll always smile together to celebrate her and all her bright, beautiful moments,” she wrote.
