Valerie Bertinelli, 63, confirmed on Instagram that she has a new boyfriend after her past heartbreaks, including the end of her marriage to Tom Vitale and the death of her first husband, Eddie Van Halen. She shared a selfie with a Taylor Swift lyric, making the relationship official.
Bertinelli’s new partner is writer Mike Goodnough, known as the Hoarse Whisperer. She recently hinted at their connection, calling it a unique and fulfilling relationship. Goodnough later confirmed the relationship in a humorous Substack post.
Bertinelli, who reflected on her past marriage to Van Halen in her cookbook Indulge, expressed that despite their divorce, they never stopped loving each other. She and Goodnough connected on social media in 2016 and began messaging after her 2022 divorce from Vitale. Bertinelli has since said, “I’m in love,” sharing her joy with fans.
