Valerie Bertinelli, the beloved actress and TV personality, has recently confirmed that she has found love again after the heartbreak of previous relationships. At 63 years old, Valerie has decided to go public with her new boyfriend, Mike Goodnough, and the couple couldn’t be happier.
Valerie, who divorced her ex-husband Tom Vitale two years ago and lost her first husband, Eddie Van Halen, four years ago, shared the news on Instagram.
In a sweet post, she shared a selfie with lyrics from Taylor Swift’s song “So High School,” which is said to be about Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The caption read, “I’ll drink what you think and I’m high from smokin’ your jokes all damn night.” It was clear that Valerie was head over heels for her new love.
Mike Goodnough, a popular writer known as the Hoarse Whisperer, is the lucky man who has captured Valerie’s heart. Rumors of their relationship had been swirling, and Mike confirmed them in a recent essay on his Substack, titled “Rumors, Rumors, Rumors…”
In a humorous tone, he shared how he asked Valerie if there was any truth to the dating rumors, and she responded, “It’s true. I totally am. You’re my boyfriend.” It seems like the couple is not only in love but also have a great sense of humor.
In her recently published cookbook, titled “Indulge,” Valerie opened up about her previous marriage to Eddie Van Halen. While they got divorced, she revealed that they never stopped loving each other. Valerie expressed her sadness that they didn’t have a second chance due to Eddie’s battle with cancer. However, she’s grateful to have found love again with Mike and feels incredibly blessed.
Valerie first started following Mike on social media back in 2016 or 2017, and he followed her back in 2018. They started exchanging messages, and their connection grew stronger after Valerie’s divorce from Tom Vitale in 2022. Valerie describes Mike as a super funny and incredibly talented writer, and it’s clear that they share a deep connection.
Fans of Valerie are thrilled to see her happy again. After going through heartbreak, she never thought she would fall in love again. But love has a way of surprising us, and Valerie has found it once more. We wish Valerie and Mike nothing but happiness in their journey together.
