Dr. Dre was spotted enjoying a meal with a mystery woman on Sunday as rumored girlfriend Michelle Saniei gushed over their relationship in an interview.
Months after the 61-year-old rapper stepped out with Michelle, 37, at Nobu restaurant in Malibu, California, Dr. Dre was seen making his way out of the same hotspot with a different brunette, making some wonder if his romance with The Valley cast member had come to an end.
In a photo shared by TMZ on August 3, Dr. Dre, who wore all black, walked beside the unidentified woman, who was wearing a pink mini dress with what appeared to be a matching Hermes Mini Kelly handbag.
While the meeting between Dr. Dre and the mystery brunette may have been a date, it could also have been a simple outing between friends. After all, in an interview shared by Bravo’s The Daily Dish on August 1, Michelle seemed to confirm they were still an item.
“He’s a wonderful person, and we just love spending time together,” she shared.
Then, after admitting she didn’t know the two of them were being photographed amid their outing at Nobu earlier this year, noting that she saw it when everyone else did, Michelle revealed that they “met through a mutual friend.”

Michelle also spoke of how she and Dr. Dre met during a June appearance on Watch What Happens Live.
“[It was] very natural, very organic. It wasn’t even a setup. We just happened to meet, and we clicked. I just go with the flow. I love people who are very positive and have good energy, and that’s what he is,” she explained on WWHL.
Weeks prior, Michelle told PEOPLE that she and the rapper loved “being in each other’s company” and confirmed that the two of them were “keeping everything super private.”
As for the reaction of her ex-husband, Jesse Lally, 46, he suggested on his own episode of WWHL that Michelle would be with Dr. Dre for a long time.
“I don’t think Michelle’s giving that one up forever,” he suspected.
The Valley season three reunion begins Wednesday, August 5, at 8/7c on Bravo.
