Valerie Bertinelli has split from her boyfriend Mike Goodnough.
The Food Network alum, 64, and the writer, 54, had been dating for 10 months. ‘They are no longer in a relationship,’ a source told People on Tuesday
The couple met on Instagram and at first it was strictly platonic, but then they became close in January 2024 because it ‘felt familiar’ and there was a ‘a comfort level.’
They went Instagram official in April 2024 and hit their first red carpet together two months later.
The actress told People in July that being a long-distance couple was ‘challenging.’

When she first went public with the romance, she explained the attraction.
‘His voice had the most beautiful timbre. I was like, “Oh, I can’t talk to this man right now because that’s really sexy,”‘ she said.
‘We both had strong feelings, trying not to admit them,’ she added.
They went public in April.
‘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,’ he wrote on his Substack called Hoarse Whisperings.
They went red carpet official in June at the Daytime Emmys.

Bertinelli opened up about her romance in an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in April.
‘He was not supposed to come into my life and here he is. He’s 10 years younger,’ the Hot in Cleveland star said without naming him.
‘He would like to think he’s complicated and brooding, but he’s thoughtful and kind and ridiculously talented,’ Bertinelli said.
‘He’s an amazing writer. He’s gorgeous, like so hot. He does it for me. We all have our type, like he’s just hot,’ she gushed.
She now has a permanent job on Drew’s show.
