Their marriage has been the subject of several questions on Season 2, but is the drama enough for Danny Booko and Nia Sanchez to leave The Valley? Danny just revealed the couple’s future on the Bravo show after their cast members accused them of “hiding” their marital issues from the camera.
Are Danny and Nia leaving The Valley?
Rumors swirled that Danny and Nia were leaving The Valley after a supposed statement from the couple made its way around social media. “After much thought and prayer, we’ve decided to step away from The Valley before the end of Season 2. While we’re grateful for the experience and the friendships we’ve made along the way, this chapter no longer aligns with the values we hold as a family,” the statement read. “This just isn’t the environment we want to raise our family in, and protecting our peace is our top priority.”

The statement concluded, “We wish the cast and crew all the best moving forward and we are excited for what’s next in our journey.”
Danny took to his Instagram on June 10, 2025, confirming that the statement was fake and that he and Nia weren’t leaving The Valley. “Fake!!” he wrote on top of a screenshot of the statement. He also reposted another Instagram user also denying the post. “Nia and Danny are NOT leaving The Valley (as of now) – the statement that is circulating amongst several bravo accounts right now is FAKE and neither Danny or Nia posted this!” the user wrote.
While Danny and Nia aren’t leaving The Valley, they have been at the center of the drama on Season 2, with cast members Brittany Cartwright and Janet Caperna claiming that the two hid a lot of their real-life issues from the cameras.
“We’re not perfect, but we do our best not to speak negatively of each other. If we have an issue, we talk about it [and we aren’t] like, ‘Oh let me tell Kristen all this crap about Daniel,'” Nia said in a confessional at the time. The couple presents a united front. “Do you want me to not be there for my husband? Do you want him to not be there for me? Do you want him to talk trash about me when I got mad about something?” Nia became heated as she asked, “Do you want me to go and rant about that and try to make him look like a bad guy when he’s not a bad guy?”
Danny, for his part, also denied that he and Nia were inauthentic on screen. , “We actually love and respect each other and don’t throw each other under the bus. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous. Just watch the first summer. Were we not vulnerable?” he said. “Just because it wasn’t maybe as toxic as most other relationships and how they handle their things, they tried to put a target on us and say, ‘You guys aren’t being real.’”
Nia also called out her cast members for calling her and Danny “fake” because there wasn’t as much turmoil in their relationship as other couples on the show. “We are trying to be true to who we are and how we operate, but then we get called out for being fake or hiding things or doing it for the cameras when it’s like, I would be being fake to then sit in front of the girls and talk trash on Daniel. That would be fake of me because that’s not how I operate,” she said.
The Valley streams on Peacock.
