The relationship timeline of the couple

It was in March 2024 that Valerie for the first time talked about her new love. She told People magazine:

“I’m in love. It’s a seesaw of emotions because I was adamant I was never falling in love again.”

Later, on 20 April 2024, the TV personality went public about her new romance. She uploaded a pic of herself with her new boyfriend, Mike Goodnough and wrote below it:

“🎶 I’ll drink what you think and I’m high from smokin’ your jokes all damn night 🎶,”

This is the lyrics of the new song So High School of Taylor Swift from her recent 11^th studio album The Tortured Poets Department. Both the lovebirds were smiling to the camera in the snap.

Later, Mike also posted on his Instagram with the title “Rumors, Rumors, Rumors”:

“I am Valerie Bertinelli’s boyfriend… and that may well be among the most surreal sentences I’ve ever pecked out. But it’s true… and nothing about our actual relationship seems surreal. It just seems… good… lucky… a gift,”

The post continued:

“Life is crazy, kids. It just is. It’ll rain hellfire down on you for years and bring you to your knees… and then it’ll open the skies to deep blue and love and calling someone ‘Honey’ because you just love the absolute hell out of her and feel so very thankful for the gift of that feeling, the gift of her,”
“So, the little rumor going around, consider it happily confirmed,”
“I just adore her. I’m so glad we’re together.”
