Dr. Dre and Michelle Saniei Spotted on Dinner Date at Nobu

A fresh pairing has caught the attention of celebrity watchers. Dr. Dre and Michelle Saniei were recently photographed stepping out together for dinner at Nobu, with the two holding hands in images that suggest a romantic connection.

The 61-year-old music executive and the 37-year-old real estate professional and Bravo television personality were snapped by photographers as they made their way to the upscale restaurant. The images, shared by Deuxmoi, show the pair appearing very much like a couple.

Saniei is known for her role on the reality series The Valley, where her personal life has been a focal point of storylines. Her separation from husband Jesse Lally became a significant plot point during the show's second season. The two married in 2018, with their separation beginning in 2023 and their divorce finalized in October 2024. They co-parent a daughter.

Most recently, Saniei had been in a relationship with Aaron Nosler, which ended in July 2025. During the Season 3 premiere of The Valley, which aired earlier this month, she opened up about the breakup. "I thought he was really happy. I was very happy. He was the one that had the conversation with me that I should move in, and like really think about this. And I don't know what happened," she shared. She went on to say that he was seeking a "fitness girl" and was constantly critical of her lifestyle choices. "He was just nitpicking every single thing about me, about how I don't go to the gym enough," she stated.

As for Dr. Dre, the legendary producer has 10 children. He became a father for the first time in 1981 with then-girlfriend Cassandra Jay Green. He was married to Nicole Plotzker from 1996 until their 2021 divorce. Following the split, he was romantically linked to Apryl Jones, though that connection lasted until 2022.
