“The Valley” star Michelle Saniei is keeping fans guessing about her love life once again.
Michelle was spotted getting cozy with an unidentified man at Ojai Valley Inn over the weekend, just months after confirming that she was dating Dr. Dre.
Photos shared by Deuxmoi showed Michelle and the mystery man together in a swimming pool. A witness claimed the two appeared affectionate and alleged that Michelle straddled him at one point while they spent time together.
The man has not been identified, and Michelle’s current relationship status with Dr. Dre remains unclear.
Michelle was first spotted with the rapper and music executive in April and confirmed in June that they were dating. However, Dr. Dre was photographed with another woman in August. Around that same time, Michelle suggested that she and the music mogul were still together.
Whatever is happening behind the scenes, Michelle has made it clear that she feels good about the direction her life has taken since ending her marriage.
“I think in the beginning you get so scared, ‘Did I make the right choice and is this best for myself and my child?’ But now looking back, I feel like everything I did was the best decision for myself and for my daughter and I have no regrets on that part,” she told People earlier this year. “I’m truly happy with where life is taking me.”
Where Michelle Saniei and Jesse Lally Stand After Their Divorce
Michelle’s dating life has been a major topic on “The Valley,” particularly when it comes to her ex-husband, Jesse Lally.
Michelle and Jesse ended their marriage in October 2023 before publicly announcing their separation in March 2024. Their divorce was finalized in October 2025 after the former couple reached agreements involving custody and support for their daughter, Isabella Bunny.
Since then, both have moved forward romantically. Jesse has been dating Lacy Nicole, who appeared alongside him during season 3 of “The Valley,” while Michelle’s relationship with Aaron Nosler ended in July 2025 before she began spending time with Dr. Dre.
Despite some tense moments between them, Michelle and Jesse have also worked toward a more stable co-parenting arrangement. Michelle has said they try to keep Isabella’s routines consistent between their two homes, and their custody schedule allows her to see each parent every two days.
Their personal relationship, however, remains limited largely to conversations involving their daughter.
Jesse has also said he supports Michelle moving on.
“She can do whatever she wants, and I’m happy for her,” Jesse told US Weekly while discussing her dating life. “[She can do] whatever she decides to do. As long as she keeps Isabella in the forefront, because I do that as much as possible.”
With Michelle now appearing alongside another mystery man, the exact status of her romance with Dr. Dre may be the latest question surrounding “The Valley” star. But when it comes to Jesse, the former couple appears firmly focused on the relationship that still connects them: raising Isabella.
