Valerie Bertinelli Provides Update on Her Dating Life
Valerie Bertinelli is opening up about her love life, revealing who joins her in bed these days.
At the Thursday, April 30, North Hollywood screening of her new film Love, Again, the actress, 66, addressed her private life while speaking to Pause Rewind on the red carpet. “2024 sucked the life out of me,” Bertinelli told the outlet, referring to her November 2024 split from ex-boyfriend Mike Goodnough. “I sleep with a black cat. That tells you everything you need to know about me, and I love that furry little 11 pounds.”
Bertinelli added that she says, “Hell, no” to the prospect of dating right now, noting that her cat, Batman, is the only companion she currently craves.
Bertinelli’s candid admission comes after she revealed in her recent memoir, Getting Naked: The Quiet Work of Becoming Perfectly Imperfect, released in March, that she retained love for her late ex-husband Eddie Van Halen following the duo’s split. (Bertinelli and Van Halen, who died at the age of 65 in 2020, were married from 1981 and separated in 2001 before their divorce was finalized six years later.)
Valerie Bertinelli has broken her silence on the end of her 10-month relationship with former boyfriend Mike Goodnough. “I am irreversibly changed by him for the better,” Bertinelli said of her ex in a post shared via Instagram on Monday, March 3. “I know I am becoming a much stronger and more benevolent human for […]
“We hurt each other’s feelings, but we always tried to do the right thing,” the Food Network star said of her marriage to the late musician, with whom she welcomed son Wolfgang Van Halen in 1991. “Even when we were angry, we stayed loving. It changed, evolved, and grew back different but stronger than it had been at the beginning of our relationship. It healed us.”
Once Bertinelli and Eddie’s divorce was finalized, Bertinelli went on to marry Tom Vitale in 2011. The former couple were married for 10 years before she filed for separation in 2021. Three years later, in March 2024, Bertinelli began dating Goodnough; however, the relationship dissolved by November.
Valerie Bertinelli has fallen head over heels for a new man she met online. “I’m in love,” Bertinelli, 63, told People magazine in an interview published on Monday, April 1. “It’s a seesaw of emotions because I was adamant I was never falling in love again.” The former Food Network host, who didn’t reveal her […]
In her memoir, Bertinelli stated that she “couldn’t crack the code of lasting love” over the years. “Romance has never been easy for me, never even sane,” she wrote. “It’s a messy math equation — love, marriage, divorce — and I’m terrible at math. Worse at marriage.”
Of her second marriage to Vitale, Bertinelli also revealed that its demise unfolded quite differently to that of her former union with Eddie. “How could I have continued to feel love for Ed after our divorce but have no feelings — neither good nor bad — for my second husband after fifteen years of togetherness?” Bertinelli wrote in her memoir. “Hopefully that will change over time. I can already feel myself softening. I’ve reached a point of indifference and grace, which is so much healthier than hanging on to anger.”
