Mike Goodnough’s cryptic posts

Last weekend, Mike had hinted about this separation on his social media when he posted a cryptic note. On 2 November 2024, Mike posted on his Instagram:

“If you can go a whole day without talking to me, then go another,”

A second post read:

“If someone is fine without you, then let them be fine without you,”

And on the next day, he seemed to clarify by writing on his social media page:

“Y’all, for real, the things I post aren’t real-time coded subtweets of my own life. I post things for all kinds of reasons. Sending some coded message about my life at that very second is close to never it. I post things that resonate with me as wise or thoughtful or lessons learned. I post things that I think will strike a chord with other people,”

He went on to continue:

“Sometimes the things I post strike a chord with me because they have some recent relevance or relate to things that have been on mind. Even when that is the case, my reason for posting them is because I see some value in them beyond my own experience – not because I’m trying to send super secret messages about what is going on with me or in my life that people need to use a decoder ring to figure out.”

Further, Mike added:

“When it comes to stories in particular, what I post is largely influenced by what Instagram serves up to me,”

“The algorithm is very stubborn and resists even active efforts to get it to serve a wider diversity of material. So any narrowness in what I post about is a result of the algorithm, not me looking for that specific kind of thing. For real, folks don’t have to try to super sleuth the hidden meaning behind content.”

Who is Mike Goodnough and how the two met?

Mike is a writer and has one child from a previous relationship. The two met online. It was in April 2024 that Valerie disclosed to the world that she is in 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.”

Valerie continued:

“I was supposed to die with my six cats and my dog and very happily live the rest of my years alone — I’m good alone,”
