Valerie Bertinelli, the 63-year-old actress, has announced that she is in a new relationship! After going through the heartbreak of previous marriages, she took to Instagram to share the exciting news. In a sweet post, she hinted that she’s now off the market.
Valerie’s journey to finding love again hasn’t been easy. It has been two years since her divorce from ex-husband Tom Vitale, and four years since the passing of her first husband, Eddie Van Halen.
But last Friday, Valerie made it Instagram official by posting a selfie with lyrics from Taylor Swift’s song, “So High School.” The song is said to be about Swift’s current boyfriend, Travis Kelce. In the caption, Valerie wrote, “I’ll drink what you think and I’m high from smokin’ your jokes all damn night.” So sweet!
According to Entertainment Tonight, Valerie’s new beau is writer Mike Goodnough. He is known for his popular blog under the name “the Hoarse Whisperer.” The rumors about their relationship were confirmed by Mike himself in a humorous essay titled “Rumors, Rumors, Rumors…” on his Substack. He shared that Valerie officially declared him her boyfriend when she was asked about the dating rumors.
Valerie recently released her new cookbook, Indulge, in which she opened up about her previous marriage to Eddie Van Halen. Despite getting divorced, she revealed that they never stopped loving each other. She also expressed her thoughts on what could have been if it wasn’t for cancer. Valerie seems to be reflecting on her past while embracing her present happiness with Mike.
Valerie and Mike started following each other on social media a few years ago. They began exchanging messages after Valerie’s divorce from Tom Vitale in 2022. Valerie describes Mike as a super funny and incredibly talented writer. This month, Valerie spoke with PEOPLE Magazine and gushed, “I’m in love.” It seems like she’s found genuine happiness again!
We’re thrilled to see Valerie in love and happy. Finding love after heartbreak is a beautiful thing. If you enjoy celebrity news, check out more from Newsner by clicking the link below.
