Two years after ending her marriage, actress and TV host Valerie Bertinelli has found love again, revealing her new relationship with writer Mike Goodnough. Bertinelli, who is known for being open on social media, posted a selfie on Instagram accompanied by lyrics from a Taylor Swift song, symbolizing her fresh start. This announcement follows the passing of her first husband, Eddie Van Halen, four years ago and her recent divorce from Tom Vitale.
Goodnough, the author behind the popular blog Hoarse Whisperer, humorously confirmed their romance on his Substack. Addressing the swirling rumors, he playfully asked Bertinelli in a “reporterly voice” if they were indeed dating, to which she happily confirmed.
In her recent cookbook “Indulge,” Bertinelli has been candid about her past relationships, including her lasting love for Van Halen despite their divorce. She reflects on their deep bond, hinting that they might have reunited if he had not passed away.
