'The Valley' Star Jesse Lally Says He Had a Romance With Anna Nicole Smith for Several Years

'The Valley' star Jesse Lally shares the Anna Nicole Smith tidbit amid his separation from Michelle Lally.

There was an audible gasp when Jesse Lally paused -- seemingly for effect -- after he was straight-up asked if he had ever hooked up with Anna Nicole Smith in the early 2000s following their photoshoot for an ad campaign. The 43-year-old star of Bravo's The Valley joined Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge on their Two Ts in a Pod podcast, where, before getting into anything related to the Vanderpump Rules spinoff show, the hosts wanted to set the record straight about his connection to the late model, who tragically died from an overdose in February 2007. To commemorate where he met the mother of his daughter, Birkhead and Dannielynn make it an annual tradition to attend the pre-Kentucky Derby gala and the race itself at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
