Michelle Saniei Confirms She Is Dating Dr. Dre

A People interview says they met through a mutual friend with both choosing to keep the relationship private.

Overview

  • Saniei told People on Tuesday that she is dating Dr. Dre and that they are "spending time together" while keeping details private.
  • The pairing first drew attention after paparazzi photographed the two holding hands after dinner at Nobu Malibu on April 25.
  • Multiple outlets report the couple met through a mutual connection believed to be Ashley Palmer Gilkey of Aftermath Records.
  • Saniei’s Bravo castmates and her ex-husband, Jesse Lally, said they learned about the relationship through social media and press, and Lally has publicly said he supports her.
  • The report places the new romance alongside each person’s recent history: Saniei finalized her divorce in October 2025 and co-parents a young daughter, while Dre settled his high-profile divorce in 2021.
