Valerie Bertinelli was seen leaving a taping of The Drew Barrymore Show in New York City on Wednesday morning.
The 63-year-old actress flashed a smile as she was escorted through a crowd of her fans after she finished up her interview.
The performer – who recently opened up about going through some of the most difficult years of her life – layered up in a jet-black and double-breasted coat worn on top of a dark green dress.
Bertinelli also donned a pair of high-top leather shoes and her beautiful brunette hair fell onto her shoulders.
The Hot In Cleveland star’s appearance on the show took place just after she told People that her new relationship was ‘unlike any connection I’ve ever felt’ during a new interview.

The performer confirmed that she had a new man in her life during a sit-down with the outlet.
Bertinelli described the mystery man as an East Coast-based writer who is 10 years her junior.
‘I thought he was interesting. It was strictly platonic, but there was something about him that I connected with that felt familiar. A comfort level. He felt like a kindred spirit,’ she stated.
She affectionately added that her connection with her boyfriend was ‘mature, kind, thoughtful, patient.’
The actress, who initially connected with her new beau when he commented on one of her Instagram posts, then revealed that they had established a ‘three week rule’ with one another.
‘We never go longer than that without seeing each other. After all, it’s about finding the joy in life and sharing it,’ she said.
Bertinelli then added that, although she was happy to have been able to find love again, she did not expect to do so.
‘I’m glad it’s happening. But it’s like, what the heck is happening? It’s a seesaw of emotions,’ she stated.
