“Regardless, I’m just so happy for Valerie… and so happy I get to be here,” he continued.
Additionally, in April, Goodnough gushed over being Bertinelli’s beau on his Substack site.
“I am Valerie Bertinelli’s boyfriend … and that may well be among the most surreal sentences I’ve ever pecked out,” Goodnough wrote. “But it’s true… and nothing about our actual relationship seems surreal. It just seems… good… lucky… a gift.”
Bertinelli has also expressed how she is head over heels “in love” with Goodnough.
