Michelle Saniei & Jesse Lally Reunite For Sweet Co-Parenting Moment

Despite navigating a highly public divorce, “The Valley” stars Michelle Saniei and Jesse Lally came together this week for a milestone moment in their daughter’s life.

On Thursday, August 14, the Bravo personalities put their differences aside and reunited to take their 5-year-old daughter, Isabella Bunny Lally, to her first day of kindergarten.

Michelle Saniei & Jesse Lally Celebrate Family Milestone Together

Saniei documented the day on Instagram, sharing a heartfelt post that included video footage of her walking Isabella to class. In the clip, Isabella can be seen turning back toward her father just moments after entering the school. “I want my daddy now,” she said, reaching her arms out for Lally.

Saniei also posted several photos of the special occasion, including images of her hugging Isabella inside the classroom before saying goodbye.

“I can’t believe it’s her first day of kindergarten today,” Saniei captioned the post. “I’m not crying.”

Lally marked the milestone on his own Instagram page, uploading a photo of him and Isabella smiling outside the school. The caption emphasized his pride in his daughter as she embarked on her next big chapter.

The sweet moment came just weeks after Saniei’s breakup with boyfriend Aaron Nosler, who often appeared alongside her on season 2 of “The Valley.”

Co-Parenting Amid Divorce

Although Saniei and Lally officially split in late 2023, the pair have made it clear that co-parenting Isabella is their top priority. Their separation, documented throughout “The Valley” Season 2, was often contentious, with both sides addressing heated arguments, accusations of infidelity, and financial disputes.

On “The Valley After Show,” Saniei admitted the divorce was difficult, saying, “It has not been fun. Our situation is not good.”

In a recent interview with The Daily Dish, the former couple opened up about their custody arrangement. Lally explained, “We just changed her schedule, so we’re doing every other weekend, 2-2-3, now, since the beginning of this year.”

Sanei added that their focus remains on Isabella’s well-being: “She’s basically with both parents very often, which I think is very healthy for her to have mom and dad.”

Lally has been dating podcaster and philanthropist Lacy Nicole since April 2024. In an interview with People, he shared that Nicole has built a strong bond with his daughter. “She’s an incredible influence on my daughter, which is one of the reasons I introduced her to my daughter — the only other person who’s ever met her — because she’s such a stable, sophisticated woman,” Lally said.

Although Saniei and Lally are still finalizing their divorce, their ability to come together highlights their dedication to co-parenting and ensuring a stable, supportive future for their daughter.
