Danny Booko and Nia Sanchez shocked fans on Tuesday when they announced they were leaving The Valley after a three-season run on the Bravo series.
The couple posted a joint statement via Instagram informing fans that they are leaving the show, which they have been members of since 2024.
“We just wanted to share a quick update that we will not be returning to The Valley,” the couple said. “We are incredibly grateful for this experience, but our priority is protecting our peace and our family.
‘We are fully committed to each other and our beautiful children. We would like to thank everyone for all the love and support you have shown us.’
The pair concluded by thanking Bravo and the audience “for everything,” adding, “We look forward to what the next chapter brings.”
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives from Bravo, Sanchez and Booko for further comment on the story.

Danny Booko, 42, and Nia Sanchez, 36, posted a joint statement via Instagram on Tuesday informing fans that they are leaving the show, where they have been cast members since 2024.
During their three-season run on the series, a spinoff of Vanderpump Rules, the couple’s storylines revolved around the parents of four young children: son Asher, four, twin daughters Isabelle and Zariah, three, and daughter Adelaide, one.
Sanchez, 36, who welcomed twins before the cameras rolled on the show, spoke about dealing with postpartum and balancing her family and career.
In recent years, Booko, 42, has faced accusations of drinking too much and behaving inappropriately on the show.
He feuded with co-stars such as Janet Caperna, Jason Caperna, Melissa Carelli, Brittany Cartwright, Jasmine Goode and Lala Kent.
After a broadcast last May, Booko used Instagram Stories to apologize to his wife for his behavior towards her in recent broadcasts.
“It wasn’t easy watching the last few episodes,” Booko said. ‘It was a difficult time in my life and a version of myself that I am ashamed of and not proud of.’
He said that while “no excuse,” he had been dealing with “a short fuse, stress, alcohol and lack of sleep” prior to one of their fights.
Booko added, “I should never have taken any of it out on you. Balancing parenting and life can tax you in ways that you won’t fully realize until you see yourself through a different lens. I love you, honor you, and respect you deeply, and I haven’t shown that in some of these moments.”

Has reality TV gone too far in sacrificing the well-being of cast members for drama and ratings?
Reacting to their announcement on Instagram, a number of commenters praised the couple for their decision to part ways with the show.
“Honestly, I think this is for the best. I stopped watching this season because I couldn’t stand the nitpicking and toxicity,” said one user. “Do what is best for your family and protect your peace.”
Another said: ‘I don’t blame you. No amount of money or TV time was worth the shit you both went through!’
One fan wrote: ‘What will the cast talk about next? I will miss you both and your beautiful family.”
One user called their decision to leave the series a “great one,” adding that they felt like some of their castmates were “so jealous of you that they couldn’t even hide it anymore.”
Another user said: ‘That’s the best decision you can make. Your family comes first…I will miss you all.”
