“Michelle is divorced and single, and whatever makes her happy is cool,” Jesse, 45, told TMZ while in Los Angeles on Tuesday, April 28.
“I didn't hear anything,” added the TV star. “I saw it on social media the same way everyone else did.”
“The Dr. Dre thing – he didn't see it coming!” Jesse said, adding that he has never seen Michelle, 37, “listen[ing] in rap music, so dating dr. Dre, good for him.”
Jesse noted, however, that the first cassette he ever bought was an NWA record in 1988 – the year Michelle was born.

According to Jesse, Michelle and Aaron's breakup was very difficult for their daughter.
“I hope she continues to be a good mother to Isabella and has Isabella's best interests at heart, because I don't think we can deal with the same collateral damage that we faced during Aaron and Michelle's breakup,” Bravebrity said. “I hope you're focusing on Isabella right now. Besides, she can do whatever she wants.”
“He's happy. He's single. He can do whatever he wants,” Jesse repeated. “I want her to focus on making sure Isabella doesn't have to go through what Isabella went through with Aaron's breakup, because it was hard on all of us.”
