Meet My NEW BOYFRIEND

On a recent spring morning, Valerie Bertinelli left the CBS studios in New York City with a smile on her face and a new man at her side.

"He was not supposed to come into my life, and here he is.

He's 10 years younger," Valerie confided on The Drew Barrymore Show. "He's thoughtful and kind and ridiculously talented." He is Mike Goodnough, 53, a New Yorkbased writer who confirmed their romance in a Substack post. "Life is crazy, kids," he wrote. "It'll open the skies to deep blue and love and calling someone 'Honey' because you just love the absolute hell out of her and feel so very thankful for the gift of that feeling, the gift of her."
