Danny Booko and Nia Sanchez are leaving “The Valley” after three seasons with the Bravo reality show.
“We wanted to share a quick update that we will not be returning to ‘The Valley,’” the couple said in a joint statement posted to Instagram. “We’re incredibly grateful for this experience, but our priority is protecting our peace and our family.”
They added, “We are fully committed to each other and our beautiful children. We want to thank everyone for all the love and support you’ve shown us. Thank you to Bravo and the team for everything. We are looking forward to what the next chapter brings.”

“The Valley” launched in 2024 as a spinoff of “Vanderpump Rules,” and follows a group of affluent Angelinos who have outgrown their party-hard West Hollywood lifestyles and settle down outside the city. Cast members in the most recent seasons included Tom Schwartz, Janet Caperna, Jason Caperna, Luke Broderick, Lala Kent, Jasmine Goode, Kristen Doute, Michelle Saniei and Jesse Lally.
Booko often clashed with his co-stars throughout his time on “The Valley.” Season 3 saw him face allegations of alcohol abuse and inappropriate behavior. A particularly heated exchange happened toward the end of the most recent season, which saw Janet Caperna throw a cup at Booko after he referred to Jason Caperna’s knee injury as his “bum leg.”
Booko and Sanchez are the second high-profile exit from “The Valley” after Jax Taylor left the show in summer 2025. Taylor stepped away from “The Valley” after revealing addiction problems and having violent off-camera outbursts.
