The first season of The Valley is now complete, and viewers are very satisfied with the latest addition under the Vanderpump banner. The Valley follows Vanderpump Rules alums Kristen Doute, Brittany Cartwright, and Jax Taylor as they adjust to familial life in the Los Angeles area known as the Valley. The series also features couples Jason and Janet Caperna, Nia and Danny Booko, and one couple that was on the outs immediately — Jesse and Michelle Lally.
Jesse and Michelle's marriage was a huge plot point in the freshman season of The Valley. Whispers of Michelle's alleged infidelity poured out from various sources. Jax and Kristen both had an idea that Michelle was cheating on Jesse, but no concrete proof was ever provided. Now that the couple is getting divorced, they also have to divide their assets, and even more difficult, they'll need to figure out how to navigate the new adventure of co-parenting.

Michelle and Jesse are living separate lives.
Michelle has moved into her own place and is seen picking up Isabella from Jesse's place in the finale update. It's clear that while there is no love between the two of them, they both love their daughter and are doing what they can to keep things amicable for her sake. Co-parenting isn't easy, and they certainly have a long road ahead of them as they move forward with their divorce. They have shared custody of their daughter and their dog.
Both Jesse and Michelle have moved on to new romances.
Now that they're on the path to divorce, Jesse and Michelle have both moved on to new relationships. Michelle is currently dating Aaron Nosler. She shared in an interview with The Daily Dish, “Isabella loves him,” Michelle said. “He’s great with children and with Isabella, and I couldn’t ask for anything more right now.” Jesse is dating socialite Lacy Nicole, who he has been seen out and about with over the past few months.

Jesse and Michelle weren't the only couple whose marriage ended this season on 'The Valley.'
Another marriage that didn't survive the premiere season is the one between Brittany and Jax. Jax's inability to truly listen to Brittany as well as his penchant for belittling her in private and in public led to their separation. However, Jax continued to deny that they were separated, which caused Brittany additional grief, as she shared during the finale that Jax's actions led people to believe that she was lying.
