‘The Valley’ Season 2 Star’s Social Media Moves Spark Breakup Buzz

Michelle Saniei may be single again—and fans of “The Valley” are reading the signs loud and clear. Following the dramatic season 2 finale of the Bravo hit, Saniei, 36, has unfollowed her boyfriend, Aaron Nosler, on Instagram and removed all photos of him from her grid. The subtle yet telling social media move has sparked rumors of a breakup, despite their appearance of being solid all season long.

Michelle Saniei Sparks Aaron Nosler Breakup Buzz With Instagram Activity

On July 23, Bravo fan account The Bravo Investigator was the first to point out that Saniei had scrubbed her Instagram of all traces of Nosler, whom she began dating in early 2024. Around the same time, Bravo and Cocktails posted that Nosler would reportedly not return for season 3 of “The Valley”—a possible sign that he and Saniei are no longer a couple.

“It appears Michelle unfollowed Aaron but he’s still following her,” the page reported. “And we heard today Aaron isn’t filming The Valley season [three]…”

The breakup speculation comes just two months after Saniei confirmed she had moved in with Nosler. During a May Instagram Q&A, Saniei said she and her daughter Isabella, 5—whom she shares with ex-husband Jesse Lally—relocated to Nosler’s home in March.

“I moved into Aaron’s about two months ago,” Saniei told fans. “I had my apartment for a year, and my lease was up, and we just all talked about it, and it was just the right time and the right decision. Isabella actually was the one that kept saying, ‘Why don’t we move in here?’”

Following our post, an insider confirmed to US Weekly that Saniei “is in the process of moving out” of his home, ahead of filming season 3. A second insider noted that she is “focusing on her daughter, work, and taking care of herself as she navigates this new chapter in her life.”

The Saniei-Nosler relationship has been controversial from the start, particularly because of Lally’s theory that the two were involved long before their official debut. On season 2, Lally, 45, repeatedly suggested Saniei had emotionally or physically cheated with Nosler before their marriage ended.

In episode 3, Lally even pointed to Saniei’s sudden interest in hiking Runyon Canyon while wearing full makeup—suspicious, he claimed, because it aligned with Nosler’s known hiking habits and nearby home.

“The pantry was full of Aaron’s honey,” Lally said during the episode. “If I find out that Aaron was the boyfriend and the guy who broke up my marriage, that will not go over well.”

Saniei, for her part, has repeatedly denied any cheating. According to her, the relationship with Nosler didn’t begin until after she and Lally separated.

“The Valley‘s” season two reunion begins airing next Tuesday, July 27, at 8/7c on Bravo.
