Dr. Dre was spotted heading out of Nobu Malibu on Sunday night with a mystery woman in tow. The music mogul kept things casual in all black while his companion dressed the occasion up in a pastel mini dress and what looked like a Hermes Mini Kelly bag. The catch? She’s definitely not Michelle Saniei, the reality TV star from “The Valley” who recently went public about dating the hip-hop icon.
If that name rings a bell, it should. Dre and Michelle had their own paparazzi moment at the same Malibu spot not long ago, when they were photographed holding hands as they left. That hand-hold sparked the romance rumors she later confirmed in an interview.
According to Michelle, she and Dr. Dre were introduced through a mutual friend and genuinely enjoyed spending time together. She emphasized the relationship was meant to stay private, though clearly the Nobu visits had other plans. When pressed, she revealed they were committed to keeping things low-key but acknowledged the connection was real.
The whole situation caused a bit of a stir. Her ex-husband Jesse Lally found out about the romance the same way the rest of us did: online. Most of her Bravo castmates were equally surprised, left scrambling when the news broke. Michelle never gave them a heads-up.

Which brings us back to Sunday night and this new dinner companion. It’s unclear whether this was a romantic outing or just two people grabbing a meal, but the choice of venue is definitely worth noting. Nobu Malibu was their spot. Whether Michelle was clued in or will find out the same way everyone else does remains to be seen.
