It’s official—Valerie Bertinelli has found love again! On Wednesday, April 17, her boyfriend, Mike Goodnough, finally revealed his identity in an endearing post on his Substack page titled "Hoarse Whisperings." Let’s just say this guy isn’t shy about how much he adores Valerie. His heartfelt words have fans swooning over their romance.
Mike Goodnough Breaks the Silence
For weeks, the media has been buzzing about Valerie's mysterious new beau. But now, Mike Goodnough has stepped into the spotlight to set the record straight. In a candid post, he addressed all the speculation surrounding their relationship. "The rumor is true," he confirmed. "Valerie and I are together, and we’ve been for quite some time." That’s right—this isn’t just a fleeting fling; it’s the real deal.
Mike, an East Coast-based writer, didn’t hold back when describing his feelings for Valerie. "I am Valerie Bertinelli’s boyfriend," he wrote, adding with a touch of humor, "and that may well be among the most surreal sentences I’ve ever pecked out." Despite the surreal nature of the statement, he emphasized that their relationship feels anything but strange. Instead, he described it as "good," "lucky," and even a "gift." Sounds like they’ve got something truly special going on.

A Mutual Admiration
Mike wasn’t the only one spilling his heart. Valerie, who recently turned 63, opened up about her newfound love earlier this month. Speaking to People, she admitted, "I’m in love." But it wasn’t always this way. After her divorce from Tom Vitale, Valerie swore off love entirely. "I was adamant I was never falling in love again," she confessed. In fact, she envisioned spending her golden years surrounded by her beloved six cats and one dog. "I was supposed to die alone and very happily live the rest of my years by myself," she joked. But life had other plans.
Now, Valerie can’t imagine life without Mike. "It’s crazy how comfortable it feels," she said. Clearly, these two have hit it off, and their bond is only growing stronger with time.
How They Met: A Story Worth Waiting For
While Mike hasn’t revealed the full story of how they met just yet, he teased that we’ll get the full scoop in a future post. Fans are already eagerly awaiting more details. One thing’s for sure—they’ve found a connection that transcends distance. Despite living on opposite coasts, Valerie and Mike have made their long-distance relationship work with flying colors.
Valerie, who resides in California, shared that they follow what she calls the "three-week rule." "We never go longer than three weeks without seeing each other," she explained. It’s clear that both of them are committed to nurturing their relationship, no matter the miles between them.
Could a Move Be in the Cards?
As their bond deepens, Valerie might be considering a change in scenery. According to an insider, she’s not thinking about marriage just yet, but she is open to the idea of moving closer to Mike. "She loves California," the source revealed, "but having a home on the East Coast would make life easier." After all, long-distance romances can be tough, and Valerie wants to ensure they don’t take each other for granted. "She hates being apart," the insider added, "because it’s easier to not work so hard at it when you’re separated."
When Valerie and Mike stepped out in public together, fans didn’t immediately recognize him. On April 16, she posted a photo of the two walking side by side, captioning it, "Hiding in plain sight." Clearly, they’ve been keeping things low-key, allowing their relationship to blossom naturally.
