Michelle Saniei and Aaron Nosler End Their Relationship After a Year Together

The Valley star Michelle Saniei has split from her boyfriend Aaron Nosler after one year of dating, PEOPLE confirms.

PEOPLE also confirms that in wake of the split, Saniei, 36, is focusing on her 5-year-old daughter, Isabella, whom she shares with ex Jesse Lally, as well as work and taking care of herself as she navigates this new chapter in her life.

Saniei started dating Nosler, 38, a financial advisor, after her separation from Lally in 2023. In a May 2024 Instagram Live, she described how they met at a coffee shop after Isabella waved at him.

“[Isabella and Aaron] had a little interaction from far away, and I didn’t see it … and then I got my coffee and then left, and Aaron and I actually didn’t speak,” she said. “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.”

Nosler made frequent appearances with Saniei on season 2 of The Valley.

During the July 1 episode of the show, Lally, 43, had a conversation with Nosler at a dinner in Hawaii to address things that “bothered” him.

“Having my mother and my friends send me screenshots of you with my daughter on Father’s Day…that is disrespectful to post a picture of my daughter without even asking her father if that’s okay,” Lally said. “That was a big slap in the face from Michelle.”

In response, Nosler said that “completely slipped my mind.”

“We were having such a good day supporting her, and I put myself in your shoes and I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s not right,’ so I took it down,” he said. “But like, treat us with respect.”

Lally then asked if he “did or did not cross the line when I was married to Michelle.”

“No, absolutely not,” Nosler responded. “We texted here and there once for that coffee meeting at Blackwood and another time when I said, ‘Hey, come to Runyon. I’m selling honey.’ Other than that, we would run into each other all the time.”

During a confessional, Lally said that “I 1,000 percent think [Michelle and Aaron] had a physical and emotional relationship before we separated.”

“How else do you explain having a boyfriend two weeks after being separated while still living in my house?” he asked.

Saniei has denied having an affair.

In the season 2 finale that aired on July 22, Saniei and Lally decided to put their differences aside in order to better co-parent Isabella. Saniei said she was “choosing to give [Jesse] the benefit of the doubt.”

The Valley reunion airs Tuesday, July 29, at 8 p.m. ET.
