The Valley’s Michelle Saniei Confirms She’s Dating Dr. Dre After They Were Spotted Together
The reality TV star says she and the hip-hop producer are spending time together and keeping the relationship largely out of the spotlight.
- On Tuesday, The Valley star Michelle Saniei confirmed she is dating music mogul Dr. Dre in an interview with People, ending months of speculation about their relationship.
- Saniei explained that she and Dre met through a mutual friend and are keeping their romance private. The couple is 'spending time together and we love being in each other's company,' she said.
- Following a six-year marriage, Saniei finalized her divorce from The Valley costar Jesse Lally in October 2025. She and Lally share a six-year-old daughter, Isabella, and Saniei noted she has 'no regrets' regarding the split.
- While The Valley cast was reportedly shocked by the news, the relationship is unlikely to feature on the Bravo series. Saniei and Lally's coparenting challenges have historically taken center stage on the show.
- Music mogul Dr. Dre was previously married to Nicole Young for 25 years before their 2021 divorce, which included a $100 million settlement. The West Coast hip-hop icon has two children with Young and 10 kids in total.
