Michelle Saniei’s current and past relationships collide as The Valley cast films together in Hawaii. In a twist of events that I can’t imagine even Michelle anticipated, Michelle’s (soon-to-be) ex-husband, Jesse Lally, and her current boyfriend, Aaron Nosler, got along swimmingly.
Jesse and Aaron’s budding friendship:
Michelle and Aaron’s origin story:
The couple met just after Michelle left Jesse. While Michelle was visiting a coffee shop with her and Jesse’s daughter, Isabella Bunny. The four year old waved at Aaron before he ever caught her eye.
Aaron and Isabella Bunny “had a little interaction from far away and I didn’t see it. 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.”
The Valley’s season 2 cast trip:
Brittany Cartwright flew commercial with her friends Nia Sanchez and Danny Booko, Janet and Jason Caperna, Michelle Saniei, Jasmine Goode, Zack Wickham, Kristen Doute, and Luke Broderick, left Los Angeles on September 3rd Hawaii-bound. They were joined by Michelle’s ex, Jesse Lally. His friend, Jax Taylor, didn’t travel with the group.
Jax and Jesse’s bromance:
The soon-to-be divorcées were spotted at Craig’s West Hollywood, a hotspot known for having a paparazzi presence. Jax and Jesse were served divorce papers by their estranged wives, baby mamas, Brittany Cartwright and Michelle Saniei (respectively) since the show premiered.
An insider told The U.S. Sun, “The pair have become closer as Jesse’s wife Michelle Saniei also filed for divorce earlier this year, just days after filming for The Valley’s first season wrapped.” Brittany’s estranged husband “is close with Jesse Lally right now and they are leaning on each other amid divorces. Jesse invited him out on Tuesday evening to Craig’s to support him after the news.”
“Jax arrived about 7 pm and left two hours later. His friends don’t want to leave him alone at the moment. They are rallying around him, but they also have children and responsibilities and I hear he went home alone.”
