Are Jesse and Michelle from the Valley Still Together?
Jesse and Michelle from The Valley aren’t together anymore and honestly, that ship sailed quite a while back. Their breakup went public right after season one finished rolling, with both of them making their split clear to fans and cameras alike—it really wasn’t some dramatic cliffhanger, just two people moving on. Michelle even mentioned on air that once she hit her breaking point, the only thing left was to start over. “I’m done and I want to move on and I want to get divorced and start my own life,” she explained later.
Seems like a lot of viewers wondered if that was for real, but their separation has stayed the course. Even now, they’re still in the process of finalizing the divorce, and lately, their tension—mostly money stuff—has become a big storyline in reunion episodes and online.
One Instagram reel posted July 22nd summed it up with, “A step forward in Michelle and Jesse’s separation. #TheValley ...

The divorce isn’t your fault.” That got a lot of traction from fans, with comments pouring in as folks speculated about ‘new chapters’ for both. Their main focus? Co-parenting Isabella, their daughter, who splits time between them on a pretty structured schedule.
Who is Jesse from the Valley Dating?
Jesse didn’t stay single for long—he’s now dating Lacy Nicole. She’s not part of the reality show circus, but her name did come up more lately, especially after Jesse started appearing with her at events early last summer. Lacy's actually a philanthropist from Orange County, and Jesse’s pretty open that meeting her felt like a breath of fresh air after the messy split from Michelle.
He’s told interviewers that Lacy keeps him grounded, and he’s genuinely happy for the first time in a while: “She definitely grounds me for sure because she doesn’t let me get away with anything, which is nice,” Jesse told Page Six’s podcast. But they’re keeping things low-key—he hasn’t called her his girlfriend in the strictest sense, more like “no labels, just fun to spend time with somebody again.” No sign of her on The Valley, either.
A quick look at Jesse’s Instagram from spring and summer 2025? You’ll see pics of him at charity galas and with Lacy, but not a ton of in-your-face couple content—just the occasional shoutout or group shot that makes their relationship status clear to those paying attention.
Michelle and Aaron Break Up
As for Michelle, her romance with Aaron Nosler kicked off soon after she and Jesse split, and it was actually Isabella—her and Jesse’s daughter—who first connected them with a chance wave at a coffee shop. Things moved quickly, with Michelle moving in with Aaron and even talking about getting married. But that was last year. By July 2025, it was over. Michelle unfollowed Aaron on Instagram and scrubbed their photos, which fans immediately caught on to. Shortly after, news broke that she was moving out and focusing on Isabella, work, and “taking care of herself.”
One telling Instagram post from Michelle around July was all about “new beginnings” and being grateful for growth even when it’s hard—not addressing Aaron directly, but the subtext was pretty clear to followers. And not surprisingly, Aaron’s page is still following Michelle, but there's no trace of her anymore on Michelle’s digital life.
Jesse and Michelle Divorce
Now, the divorce—Jesse and Michelle’s legal uncoupling is still dragging on. Nearly two years in, and they’ve not settled up. Most recently revealed on an uncensored reunion episode, the two are locked in a bit of a standoff over their $150,000 wedding costs and other financial splits: Jesse wants Michelle to pay him back half for the wedding, while Michelle says her contribution was more than he claims and totally denies there was ever a real agreement about splitting it down the middle. At this point, Jesse’s representing himself and says he just wants the legal stuff to be over so everyone can move on, including Michelle with her own love life.
Their post-breakup relationship, especially the co-parenting, has steadily improved. They both stress that their daughter comes first, and Michelle’s been clear—publicly and privately—that she wants the divorce finished this year if possible, just to move everyone forward. Most fans have watched the messy parts via close-up on Bravo, with Jesse’s own commentary both online and in interviews making it clear that while things got ugly, the goal now is stability for their daughter and less drama.
— So, for fans waiting for a surprise reconciliation: not going to happen. Both are in new places, wrestling with legal loose ends and figuring out what life looks like post-Valley spotlight. If there’s anything to root for, it’s the hope that the drama finally gives way to something resembling peace.
