Michelle Saniei was photographed holding hands with Dr. Dre this afternoon, a sighting that quickly moved across celebrity gossip accounts after months in which she had appeared to be single following her July 2025 split from Aaron Nosler. Deux Moi posted the images with the caption, “New couple alert!” and wrote, “Dr. Dre and “The Valley”’s Michelle Saniei at Nobu.”
Earlier this morning, Bravo and Cocktails appeared to publish a leaked photo of the pair and said it had been sent a DM alleging she was dating Dr. Dre. Neither Saniei nor Dr. Dre had commented on the photo, and the rest of The Valley cast had stayed mum as the image circulated.
The sighting lands after Saniei, 37, gave a more detailed account of the breakup on The Valley: After Show earlier this month. On the April 1 episode, she said she was “very surprised” by the split, saying she saw no warning signs and that Nosler had been the one to tell her she should move in. She also said he spent time “nitpicking every single thing” about her, including complaints that she did not “go to the gym enough.”
Saniei said Nosler left the house and lived with his mother for “a couple months” while she looked for a place, and she said her daughter Isabella cried after the breakup. She said the two of them went to Jesse Lally’s house for an hour, then said Isabella was fine again a few days later. Lally later said Saniei told him about the split before it became public, asked him not to say anything, deleted Nosler from Instagram and removed his photos, and sat down with Nosler and Isabella to explain what had happened.
For now, the photo is the story. Saniei had not been linked to anyone after the breakup, and neither she nor Dr. Dre has offered an explanation for the hand-holding image that set off the latest round of speculation.
