Danny Booko and Nia Sanchez announced the third season of The Valley will be their last, confirming they don’t plan to return to the Bravo series.
It looks like Danny Booko and Nia Sanchez will be staying in Santa Clarita.
The couple announced that the recently-completed third season of The Valley will be their last, confirming they did not plan to return should Bravo pick up cameras for a fourth season.
“We’re incredibly grateful for this experience,” Danny and Nia—who share son Asher, 4, twins Isabelle and Zariah, 3, and Adelaide, 15 months—wrote in their Sept. 1 statement shared to social media, “but our priority is protecting our peace and our family. We are fully committed to each other and our beautiful children.”
And while their time onscreen was not always peaceful, the couple expressed their gratitude for their fans.
“We want to thank everyone for all the love and support you’ve shown us,” the statement continued. “Thank you to Bravo and the team for everything. We are looking forward to what the next chapter brings.”
They signed off their statement with “so much love.”
Danny and Nia’s exit comes after what was a tumultuous season three for the pair, during which Danny’s drinking habits were questioned and he was accused of acting inappropriately while drinking.
He also had a verbal altercation with cast member Lala Kent after she called out the harsh way he was speaking to Nia while she helped him prepare for a lighthearted drag competition among the friend group.
After the episode aired, Danny issued a public apology for the way he’d treated his wife while filming.
“Watching these last few episodes back hasn't been easy,” the 42-year-old wrote in a May 20 Instagram Story. “It was a difficult season of life and a version of myself that I’m embarrassed by and not proud of. A short fuse, stress, alcohol and lack of sleep are never a good combination, but that’s not an excuse. I should never have taken any of it out on you."
In fact, Danny admitted the episode held up a mirror to behavior he hadn’t been fully aware of.
"Balancing parenthood and life can stretch you in ways you don't fully realize until you see yourself through a different lens," he added. "I love, honor, and respect you deeply, and I did not show that in some of these moments."
"Nia, I love you so much," Danny concluded. "I’m grateful for you, our family, and this beautiful, chaotic life we’ve built together. I thank God for you every day."
