Jesse Lally apparently only had one thought after seeing ex-wife Michelle Saniei hanging out with Dr. Dre, according to Teddi Mellencamp.
“You realize I couldn’t help myself, but text Jesse?” Teddi, 44, told Tamra Judge on the Wednesday, April 29, episode of their “Two T’s in a Pod” podcast. “[I wrote], ‘Dr. Dre?’ And he was like, ‘I was wondering why Isabella got a new pair of Beats.’”
Jesse, 44, and Michelle, 37, were married from 2018 to 2023, during which period they welcomed daughter Isabella, now 6. The Valley stars have both since moved on, with Michelle seen hanging out with Dre, 61, earlier this month. Neither Michelle nor Dre, who created a range of Beats by Dre headphones, have publicly addressed their relationship status. Us Weekly reached out for comment.
As for Teddi, she didn’t get a further comment from Jesse but pleaded for more details.
“I want to know how long has Dr. Dre been around this group,” Teddi wondered aloud. “Does he live in Santa Clarita? … But also, like, Michelle and Dr. Dre holding hands walking into Nobu? I couldn’t. I need more pictures, [and] I need more sightings. I need to understand. I mean, how do you go from Jesse to Dr. Dre?”
Michelle and Jesse settled their divorce in September 2025.
“I will tell you, for me, the second I found out about Michelle and Aaron [Nosler], I was already done,” Jesse exclusively told Us at BravoCon in November 2025, referring to Michelle’s then-boyfriend. “So, signing the actual pen to paper didn’t do much for me, but I will tell you, you’ll see a visceral reaction from Michelle. I think the stamping from the judge was intense for her [and] emotional. You know, I had already lived through those emotions when I knew she had a boyfriend and all that stuff.”
According to Jesse, he claimed that he realized their marriage was over once Michelle “moved out of the house.” Michelle later dated Aaron before they called it quits in July 2025.
“I was kind of angry and devastated for Isabella,” Jesse told Us of his ex’s breakup. “Michelle had called me and told me it was happening, and that they were going to sit Isabella down because [the two of them] had just moved into his house. [Isabella] called me as soon as they told her, and she was bawling her eyes out, like, ‘I want to come to Daddy’s house.’ So, Michelle brought her over.”
As for Michelle, she told Us at BravoCon 2025 that she is now “so much happier alone and single.”
