Even though Valerie Bertinelli’s partner is one year older than she is, she laughs in a new birthday tribute that he has not yet caught up to her!
On Saturday, August 17, the author of Indulge, who is 64 years old, reached out to her lover Mike Goodnough on Instagram to wish him a happy 54th birthday. While doing so, she also poked fun at the fact that both of them like taking selfies.
In order to show her appreciation for Goodnough, who is known on social media as Hoarse Whisperer, Bertinelli posted a photo of the two of them seeming to be dressed up together as she placed a kiss on his cheek. The picture was finished off with a beautiful sky in the backdrop, and Bertinelli made a joke about it in the text that she sent with the picture.
“If there’s one thing about Mike (there are many things) he’s not fond of backlighting,” she said in her article. Backlighting, on the other hand, is something that I find to be rather lovely. As seen by this photograph…that was taken by Mike.”
Bertinelli continued by saying, “There are times when it is beneficial to pay attention to the advice of your elders.” I wish you a happy birthday, Mike. ♥️ There is a possibility that you are one year older than me, but you are still younger than me.
In addition, Bertinelli shared a picture of her lover wearing his all-black suit on her Instagram Stories, accompanied with a straightforward statement that said, “Happy birthday, Mike.”
After beginning their relationship in January, the former Food Network star is celebrating her boyfriend’s birthday for the very first time. This is the most recent milestone that the pair has reached together. In April, Bertinelli told People that she was “in love” with Goodnough, although she did not disclose his identity at the time. This was the beginning of their relationship, and Bertinelli was originally confidential about it.
She said that she had met her partner, who was situated on the East Coast, on Instagram a few years ago. “It’s a seesaw of emotions because I was adamant that I was never falling in love again,” she added. Although our relationship was completely platonic, there was something about him that I identified with and that made me feel like I knew him.
The beginning of the year 2024 marked the commencement of their chats and sentiments that eventually grew love. She continued by saying, “It’s crazy how comfortable it is.” “Everything about it seems to be just.
After making their first public appearance together in April, the couple went public not long after that. Since then, they have often gushed over each other on social media and in interviews, and they ultimately made their debut on the red carpet at the Daytime Emmy Awards in June.
Early on in their relationship, Bertinelli and Goodnough decided to adopt a “three-week rule” in order to maintain their connection despite the fact that they were living on opposite coasts. During that time, she said, “We never go longer than that without seeing each other,” referring to one another. There was an update from Bertinelli to PEOPLE four months later.
In the month of July, she said, “It has been difficult.” A detailed schedule has been made for the summer. This is a difficult task.”
Goodnough disclosed just this week on Instagram that Bertinelli was supportive of him while his childhood buddy was “nearing end of life” in March. This is just one example of how the couple has continued to be open and honest about their relationship in public. Because she wanted to be present for him, his girlfriend had to forego “family plans that mattered to her,” as he said.
There are those who demonstrate their concern for you, and there are others who only tell you that they do. Observe each one with great attention,” he wrote. It is important to keep the former closed and provide room for the latter. The former, which consists of individuals who are always there for you, is the most abundant gift in life. Because they are riches, you should cherish them.
