Both Jesse Lally and Michelle Saniei are trying to navigate co-parenting their 4-year-old daughter Isabella while getting a divorce, and they’re adding in another complicated layer on Season 2 of The Valley: new partners. But Michelle’s new boyfriend, Aaron Nosler, may also be caught up in an explosive Season 1 rumor, according to Jesse.
“Kristen [Doute] was very specific about Michelle dating somebody for a year,” Jesse said during the Season 2 premiere, which aired April 15. "If I find out that Aaron was the boyfriend and the guy who broke up my marriage, that will not go over well.”
What did Kristen Doute say about Michelle Saniei having a boyfriend while still married to Jesse Lally?
After claiming that Michelle “had a f-cking boyfriend for a year,” despite her marriage to Jesse, Kristen later clarified in the extended and uncensored Season 1 finale of The Valley that she misspoke. “And here we go again with my misuse of words,” Kristen said in that episode. “What I said about Michelle is that she had a boyfriend for a year. What I should have said — what I meant to say — is that she had a boyfriend a year ago.”
Who is Michelle Saniei's boyfriend, Aaron Nosler?
Michelle first confirmed her relationship with Aaron on social media in April 2024. On the Season 2 premiere of The Valley, she shared new details about their relationship. “Aaron is the polar opposite [of Jesse]. He doesn’t talk down to me. It’s just so nice," she told Brittany Cartwright, adding in a confessional, “I just felt a very genuine person and heart, and I never had that feeling with Jesse."
Michelle also shared more about the early days of her and Aaron's relationship.
How and when Michelle Saniei met her boyfriend, Aaron Nosler
As Michelle shared on The Valley Season 2 premiere, "Aaron and I met a couple of years ago. We would casually run into each other on a hike, or coffee shop.”
Michelle elaborated during a May 2024 Instagram Live on how they met when Isabella began waving at Aaron.
“And so they had a little interaction from far away and I didn’t see it,” Michelle recalled at the time. “And then I got my coffee and then left, and Aaron and I actually didn’t speak. And then it must’ve been maybe a couple of days or a week later, he saw us again and then it was kind of the same thing. So, Isabella was actually the introduction, and it was just very natural.”
In May 2024, Michelle also confirmed to The Daily Dish her and Aaron's relationship is “serious,” and she told Brittany on the Season 2 premiere, “He just brightens my day.”
