Luke Broderick Claims He Knows “a Big F-cking Secret" About the Lallys’ Marriage
Jesse Lally and Michelle Saniei Lally may not be seeing eye to eye, but there's one famous man she has been spending time with.
Could there be a secret with the power to destroy Jesse and Michelle Saniei Lally’s marriage?
Well, Luke Broderick thinks so.
Luke let it slip in a preview clip for The Valley Season 1, Episode 5 that he may be in possession of some damaging information about the couple’s marriage.
“I know Jesse and Michelle’s relationship isn’t the best, but I’m also holding a secret that can just end everything,” Luke alleged.
Yet as soon as producers asked Luke to expand on what he knew, he suddenly clammed up.
“Things, uh, I don’t know how to say this,” Luke said with a nervous laugh before he ended the conversation.
Luke’s bombshell comment evoked memories of an earlier statement made by his girlfriend, Kristen Doute.
During a tense argument between Michelle and Kristen, the latter insisted she had “done nothing but protect you.” At the time, Kristen gave no further clues about what she meant by the loaded comment, but it did spark some suspicion from the other dinner guests.
It’s no secret Jesse and Michelle have been struggling in their marriage. The couple, who share 3-year-old daughter Isabella Bunny, have been open about seeing a life coach to see if they can reignite the spark between them.
Who is the famous director Michelle Saniei Lally is friends with?
Michelle may be finding it hard to connect with Jesse, but according to the preview clip, there is one famous guy she has been spending time with. Michelle reportedly connected with a famous unnamed director during one of her frequent treks to Chateau Marmont, a boutique hotel located just blocks from her home.
“Michelle’s hanging out with [name redacted] right now,” Jax Taylor told the rest of the guys as the topic shifted to the status of the Lallys' marriage. “So, she’s, she’s … that’s a one-upper big time!”
While the identity of the mystery man wasn’t revealed, Zach Wickham pointed out it was someone who “loves Chateau.”
“Michelle always claims that she doesn’t know who famous people are but like she was going out with what’s that director? [Name redacted],” Jax told producers. “She was going out with him for like a couple days straight. You know, she goes to Chateau every day, she walks down from her house and she just so happened to have met him at the pool and they got along and they were talking.”
Jesse, however, is not bothered or intimidated by his wife befriending the famous unknown director.
Jesse admitted his wife spent time with the director, but has seemingly adopted a cavalier attitude about the friendship.
“She was with him for like the entire night, got wrecked, they had dinner the other night with a famous actor,” he said.
While some of the men questioned how Jesse felt about his wife spending extended amounts of time with someone “super famous” and “wealthy,” the real estate agent seemed to shake off the concerns.
“I think when you are secure enough in a relationship or in yourself, you trust Michelle’s not going to do anything,” he said, before adding. “If she does something, then it’s on her, you know what I mean?"

Luke asked Jesse whether he would ever work through it, if Michelle made “a mistake,” but the dad of one had a pretty clear response.
“I wouldn’t,” he said.
“You would never try to remedy that as much as you love her?” Zach pressed.
“No,” Jesse said definitively.
Are Michelle and Jesse still together?
No. The couple announced their breakup in March 2024.
