Another The Valley Split, Jesse & Michelle Lally Over

Just days before the March 19th premiere of The Valley, another couple from the show has called it quits. First, it was Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright. There are differing reasons for that breakup as it is alleged that he was unfaithful. This even came up on Vanderpump Rules with the girls talking about Jax creeping around with other girls and them hearing about it. Yet, there are also rumors that he was unhappy with Brittany’s weight and she openly admitted they had not been intimate. They have been called out for this being a publicity stunt but have denied it.

Now, their co-stars, Jesse and Michelle Lally have called it quits, as well. According to Us Weekly, the two got engaged back in November 2017. They then wed the following year and share one daughter, Isabella Bunny who will be four in April. There was a premiere party for the Vanderpump Rules spinoff at Jax’s bar, Jax’s Studio City on March 14th. The two were still presenting as a couple during the event. Jesse did admit that having Isabella during the pandemic caused a strain on their marriage.

“It was very hard to have your first kid during the pandemic … mid-lockdown, no nannies, no grandparents helping out. It takes a toll on a couple in that situation,” he shared. Jesse went on to add:

“There’s a major story line about our life where I try to work on myself throughout the entire summer to be the best version of myself. And if the best version of myself aligned with the best version of herself, then our marriage would make it. People evolve. If your marriage and relationship doesn’t evolve with it, it will never work no matter how bad you want it.”

As for his wife, Michelle Lally, she noted that the show was filmed some time ago and it has become self-reflective:

“People said, ‘When you watch the show, you’re going to realize how you guys actually are,’ because when you’re in it, you don’t actually know. Taking a step back and looking at myself, I’m like, ‘Oh wow. It’s obvious we have some marital issues.’”

Two Couples Down

Michelle Lally made it very clear that she would not be sugarcoating anything in her life or her marriage when it came to The Valley. Now, she will join Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright in the Broken Hearts club. Brittany has openly shared that her husband has a lot that he needs to do in order for their marriage to work. These are things she has been wanting for some time. Whether he is capable of change is yet to be seen. As for Jesse and Michelle, they have not openly addressed where things went wrong so maybe there is hope.

Are you surprised by their split or does the timing seem a little fishy? Let us know your thoughts and watch The Valley when it premieres March 19th on Bravo.
