Why Did Valerie Bertinelli & Her New Boyfriend Anger the Public?

Celebrity Chef Valerie Bertinelli is head over heels in love and isn't shy about showing off her boyfriend at public events. The TV personality recently dazzled on the 2024 Daytime Emmys red carpet with her beau, Mike Goodnough, sparking a buzz among fans.

On social media, netizens shared a wide range of opinions about Bertinelli's new relationship. Many fans were genuinely thrilled for her, leaving heartwarming comments. One enthusiastic supporter wrote, "Oh Valerie, I think you hit the jackpot!!!"

However, not everyone was on the same page. Some fans were taken aback, recalling Bertinelli's previous sentiments about love. During a candid 2022 interview with Hoda Kotb on "TODAY," Bertinelli had made it clear she was done with romance. This was after filing for divorce from her second husband, Tom Vitale, following 11 years of marriage.

"I am going to be more than happy to be happily divorced and spend the rest of my life alone," she confessed, highlighting the difficulties she had faced and her struggle to trust again.

This decision came after a turbulent period, marked by her divorce from legendary rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen in 2007. Despite their separation, Van Halen, who passed away at 65 from cancer, remained a significant figure in her life. The pair were married for over two decades and shared a son.

In 2023, Bertinelli even shared an Instagram video with the caption, "When someone asks if I'll start dating soon..." She shook her head emphatically and declared, "Definitely no."

Given her past declarations and rocky experiences with love, some fans were surprised by her new relationship. Comments like, "I thought she wasn't going to get involved with anyone for a really long time!!" and "She said she would never date again," echoed across social media.

Another follower added, "Thought she wanted to be alone." Moreover, some speculated that Bertinelli hadn't fully moved on from her late ex-husband, Van Halen.

Despite the criticism, some netizens who read the AmoMama post about Bertinelli's new relationship came to her defense.

One reader urged others to respect Bertinelli's privacy and allow her to enjoy her newfound happiness saying, "Please leave her alone and let her have some happiness! Who hasn’t changed their mind before? I’m happy for them!" Another simply stated, "They look good together!"

Another enthusiastically celebrated Bertinelli's relationship, emphasizing that everyone deserves love, "GOOD FOR HER, She deserves to be HAPPY. doesn't everyone Deserve LOVE??!!"
