They were spotted holding hands after her messy on-screen divorce from the father of her kid. He may be 24 years older than her, but that doesn&#8217;t seem to phase her.<\/p>\n<p>So, what&#8217;s going on? Well, Dr Dre, 61, and Michelle, 37, were photographed holding hands at Nobu restaurant on Monday April 27th. But she was once married to Jesse Lalley, her The Valley co-star and real estate agent. They got married in 2018 and share daughter Isabella.<\/p>\n<p>Michelle and Jesse reportedly faced money issues, which led to their split. They still have the same friendship group, and there were only rumours just days ago that Michelle was dating <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2024\/11\/29\/omg-tom-schwartzs-next-professional-move-is-kind-of-a-yawn-fest\/\">Tom Schwartz<\/a>.
