The premiere season of The Valley is giving viewers a lot to comprehend in terms of The Drama. Firstly, we have the OG villain, Jax Taylor, back stirring up trouble. But more interestingly, fans have been introduced to Michelle Lally and Jesse Lally. The duo dated for a few years after meeting through the “longest booty call,” per Michelle, and became engaged in 2017.
The married couple are far from wedded bliss and announced their separation shortly before the season premiered. They had only been married six years. Both work together as real estate agents in Los Angeles, but the love has clearly fizzled out. The newest episode showed just how volatile their relationship had become, and it wasn’t good at all.
Michelle finds new love
Since the explosive episode revealed that there could be some skeletons in the Lallys’ closet, rumors have been swirling that Michelle has already found herself a new man. During a Q&A segment on her Instagram, Michelle was asked about her dating life, responding that she was seeing “Someone amazing. I like our little privacy for the moment.” In a separate post, she shared that she had officially moved out of the home she shared with Jesse, writing, “No. My only goal is to be friends one day.” It also seems the two are keeping their business up and running as she wrote, “Yes, we will continue working together with past clients. But moving forward, I will have my own clients and vice versa.”
Who is Michelle’s new man?
Funnily enough, Brittany Cartwright has been dropping the breadcrumbs about Michelle’s dating life. In a group photo posted to her Instagram Story, Michelle can be seen sitting next to a financial advisor named Aaron Nosler. The money man works at Thrivent, which is located in Glendale, CA. He is licensed in 20 states, including California and Arizona. Aaron has been working as a director at the company for the last two years and graduated from California State University in Los Angeles. The newly dubbed couple was snapped six weeks ago, with Michelle commenting underneath, “My handsome date.” So it feels like this could have been their soft launch.
Aaron is a proud uncle to his niece and seems to put a big emphasis on family. This could be perfect for Michelle since she shares her daughter Isabella with Jesse. Aaron also volunteers with the Kids Hope Big Brother Program and has his very own mentee, a young man named Jacob. The financial planner is also a dog guy and has a pup named Kilo. The two seem to love going for hikes at Runyon and playing fetch. Lastly, Aaron has traveled the world quite a bit, including stops in Thailand, Carmel by the Sea, and Big Sur.
Michelle talks about her marriage ending
During the same Q&A segment, Michelle also opened up about her failed relationship with Jesse. Followers were asking a lot of questions about the demise of their marriage, with the mother of one sharing, “I hope you all realize this. It was a very difficult time for me. Last summer was very difficult for many reasons.” Michelle continued “I didn’t know I looked this unhappy. But yes, some scenes have made me cry and have been rough to watch.”
Michelle also divulged why she and her ex-husband had committed to filming The Valley even though they were going through such a hard time, saying, “We originally talked about doing this show years ago when our 3-year-old daughter Isabella was really young. I was unsure that the show would get picked up and then we got the call that it went straight to series. I figured marriages are difficult, and there are ups and downs and we can be authentic in showing our issues.”
Jax spills the tea
Messy boots Jax spilled some gossip about Michelle during the latest episode, which left fans a bit stunned. The OG villain noted, “Michelle always claims she doesn’t know who famous people are. But she was going on with that director; she was going out with him for a couple of days straight. She goes to the Château Marmont every day from her house and she happened to meet him at the pool, and they get along.” Only time will tell if Michelle has found her prince charming or another frog.
