Everything to Know About Real Estate Guru Michelle Lally Ahead of The Valley Premiere
Michelle Lally and her husband juggle a luxury real estate business while raising a 3-year-old daughter in the Vanderpump Rules spin-off.
Meet your new neighbors in The Valley, including one luxury real estate agent from Beverly Hills.
The upcoming Vanderpump Rules spin-off — premiering spring 2024 — has Bravo fans at the edge of their seats for a return from VPR husband and wife, Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, and former SURver Kristen Doute.
A handful of newcomers join the West Hollywood scene, too, trading their wild ways for adulting, including Kristen’s beau, Luke Broderick, and couples Nia Booko and Danny Booko; Janet Caperna and Jason Caperna, and Michelle Lally and Jesse Lally.
That's a lot of new people for viewers to get to know. Here's what to know about Michelle Lally in particular.
Who is Michelle Lally?
Michelle Saniei Lally is a luxury real estate agent based in Los Angeles — and has some famous friends. She was raised in Beverly Hills and “came from a family of entrepreneurs," according to her website.
She attended California State University San Marcos, earning her bachelor’s degree in marketing and finance. Michelle later worked as an assistant for a successful mortgage lender, “which deepened her passion to pursue a career in real estate,” per the website.

The new Bravoleb closed on a whopping 19 properties in her first year alone, earning the title of Rookie of the Year. She later returned to Beverly Hills and joined Ryan Serhant's team there, expanding her expertise globally.
Michelle holds offices on both the East and West Coast, selling properties in New York City, London, and Los Angeles. With her husband, Jesse, she now runs LallySaniei real estate, representing The Beverly Hills Estates team.
“Michelle is known to have a high level of patience and a great sense of style,” said the firm. “She likes to work with interior designers to aid in the process of remodeling houses to clients’ tastes. Her clients also entrust her to help them select art pieces to add to their collections [because of] her knowledge and passion for art.”
Michelle now helps “a wide range of clients, from celebrities to first-time buyers,” with properties as high as $100 million, according to her Beverly Hills Estates profile.
Michelle is also good friends with several people in the Vanderpump Rules universe. She's best friends with Brittany Cartwright, and is close with Vanderpump Rules’ cast members Scheana Shay and Lala Kent as well.
In fact, she even recently enjoyed a girls’ night with Brittany, Scheana, and Lala.
Who are Michelle's Lally's husband and kids?
Michelle gave birth to their daughter, Isabella Bunny, in April 2020, during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, a trying time for any new parents. These days, however, 3-year-old Isabella is a successful child model, as featured on Michelle’s Instagram page.
Isabella has Vanderpump Rules connections herself — she is best friends with Scheana's daughter, Summer Moon Honey Davis, and Lala's daughter, Ocean Kent.
Before Michelle and Jesse Lally married, her Boston-raised husband knew Jax Taylor from their modeling days in New York City. Jesse and Jax even lived as roommates, per The Valley’s announcement.

Now, Mr. and Mrs. Lally are letting Bravo audiences into their lives on The Valley.
“The couple sells homes to the top 1% of the top 1%, and they cultivate their clientele in the city and abroad,” according to the press release. “They’re discovering that a fast-paced lifestyle can be a challenge to balance alongside marriage and parenthood.”
What is The Valley?
The Valley follows a group of close friends, all of whom are connected to former VPR castmates Jax, Brittany, and Kristen, “as they trade bottle service in West Hollywood for baby bottles in the Valley.” The title references the colloquial name for the San Fernando Valley neighborhood in northern Los Angeles.
The series promo was unveiled at the Vanderpump Rules Season 11 premiere party.
Not only does The Valley feature the aforementioned cast, but it also has friends Jasmine Goode and Zack Wickham, all while the group navigates “bustling businesses, rocky relationships, and feisty friendships.”
Audiences can see Jax, Brittany, and Kristen in past episodes of Vanderpump Rules ahead of its 11th season, premiering January 30, 2024, at 8/7c on Bravo and streaming the next day on Peacock.
The Valley's debut season premieres in the spring of 2024, though an official date has yet to be released.
