Did ‘The Valley’ Star Jesse Lally’s Girlfriend Lacy Nicole Cheat on Him? The Rumors Explained
The Valley star Jesse Lally’s new girlfriend, Lacy Nicole, hasn’t appeared in the Bravo show, but she’s still managed to become a popular topic of conversation. During a season 2 episode, Jesse’s estranged wife, Michelle Saniei, alleged that Lacy was cheating on Jesse. Life & Style explains the rumors.
Did Jesse Lally’s Girlfriend Lacy Nicole Cheat on Him?
During the second episode of The Valley season 2, Jesse and Michelle got into a heated conversation when she made a visit to his house to discuss the visitation schedule they had set for their daughter, Isabella.
“You want to talk about the random girl you just started dating?” Michelle snapped. “You know what kind of s–t she says to my friends and other people? It’s actually embarrassing and I feel sorry for you. She’s told people, including a friend of mine, that she’s sleeping with other people.”
When Jesse asked which “friend” Michelle was referring to, she revealed it was former Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay. The Los Angeles real estate agent then proceeded to call Scheana to get the information directly from her.
“The reason we’re calling is, Michelle and I are here talking about my friend in Orange County. She just said to you that she’s been sleeping with other guys,” Jesse stated into the phone. “Is that true or false?”
Scheana replied that what Jesse had said was “correct verbatim,” and then added, “Even told me specifically who. The guy from Baywatch.”
Neither Jesse nor Lacy have addressed the rumors.
When Did Jesse Lally and Lacy Nicole Start Dating?
Lacy first shared a photo of her and Jesse together in April 2024, and the following month, Jesse revealed in a May 2024 appearance on Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast that he and Lacy were “newly dating,” but he didn’t identify her by name.
“I’m super happy right now,” Jesse gushed. “We’ve been great friends, we newly started dating. She’s just a very amazing person and she’s a beautiful soul.”
Even though Jesse had no problem talking about his love life, he previously made it clear that Lacy wouldn’t be making an appearance on the reality show.
“We had just started a new relationship [when filming began]. It’s hard enough going through a divorce in private, [we’re] going through a divorce on television, talking about Michelle and I …” he told Entertainment Tonight. “For the health of Isabella, we talked about it, and she’s meeting a woman for the first time that is not her mother, and just for the sake of Isabella … we just decided it probably wasn’t best.”
Why Did Jesse Lally and Michelle Saniei Get Divorced?
Fans watched as Jesse and Michelle’s marriage crumbled during season 1 of The Valley, but the former couple can’t agree on what led to their divorce.
“Michelle has her own experience, and I have my own experience. I would never invalidate her. I think people are extremely intelligent where they know that [someone is] trying to create a one-sided narrative. You can see right through that,” Jesse told Us Weekly in an interview published on April 11, 2025. “Words don’t mean as much as when you see what the camera shows. That’s what you should be hearing. It’s only a one-sided narrative. But she has her experience and that’s how she feels. Whether Michelle and I are in a good place, it doesn’t matter because we’re doing our best with Isabella and she’s super happy.”
