The Valley<\/a> mom and dad redemonstrated this on Thursday, August 14, when they came together for Isabella Bunny Lally<\/a>\u2019s first day of kindergarten. Michelle shared the milestone in an Instagram post, which included footage of her holding the 5-year-old girl as they made their way to school. It was initially unclear who was filming the video from behind, but a few seconds into the clip, Isabella turned her head back, reached her arms out, and asked for Jesse.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want my daddy now,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\"KikiHow Michelle Saniei & Jesse Lally are navigating coparenting life<\/p>\n

The estranged couple called it quits in October 2023<\/a>, but didn\u2019t announce their split<\/a> until five months later, right before The Valley series premiere (March 19, 2024). Season 2 shed more light on Michelle and Jesse\u2019s messy separation, which included numerous heated exchanges, allegations of infidelity<\/a>, and name-calling. The parents addressed their ongoing divorce<\/a> on The Valley After Show<\/a>, admitting their post-split relationship was far from friendly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has not been fun,\u201d Michelle said. \u201cOur situation is not good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jesse echoed his estranged wife, but insisted they were doing their best to ensure Isabella\u2019s happiness.<\/p>\n

Michelle Saniei & Jesse Lally share details on their custody arrangement<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just changed her schedule, so we\u2019re doing every other weekend, 2-2-3, now, since the beginning of this year,\u201d Jesse explained.<\/p>\n

Michelle confirmed the custody details in a recent interview with The Daily Dish<\/a>, saying she and Jesse each had two days with their daughter and switched every other holiday. She said they may take on a five-day custody schedule at a later date, but felt the current routine was appropriate for their young daughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, she\u2019s basically with both parents very often, which I think is very healthy for her to have mom and dad,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd that aspect is actually really great\u2026 Like I have always said, [Jesse\u2019s] a great father, and we don\u2019t have to worry about anything. When it\u2019s pick-up time, drop-off time \u2014 like, we\u2019re very good with all of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
