Amid the reports of Saniei finding love, her ex-husband gave a surprising reaction as he said, ‘The Dr. Dre thing… didn’t see that one coming’. In an interview with TMZ, Lally revealed that he didn’t know about Saniei and Dre’s dating and only came to know about the same through social media, like everyone else. In the same interaction, Lally also stated that he had his doubts ever since he saw their daughter, Isabella, wearing a new pair of Beats headphones. For the unversed, Dr. Dre founded Beats Electronics in 2008.

Jesse Lally hopes Michelle Saniei’s to be a good mom

Going forth in the interview, Lally shared that all he wishes is that Saniei be a good mom to their daughter Isabelle amid her relationship with Dre. He further shared how their daughter struggled after Saniei’s breakup with Aaron Nosler. In his words:

“I hope she continues to be a good mom to Isabella, and has Isabella’s best interests at heart, because I don’t think we can work with the same collateral damage that we dealt with, with Aaron and Michelle breaking up. I just hope she’s really focused on Isabella right now… other than that, she can do whatever she wants.”
