Los Angeles, CA – Valerie Bertinelli’s ex-boyfriend Mike Goodnough clarified the details surrounding their breakup, with Goodnough claiming that he was the one who ended the relationship. The couple, who split after 10 months of dating last year, had a “complicated” romance according to Goodnough.
Taking to social media to share his side of the story, Goodnough explained that despite their split, love was never an issue in their relationship. He expressed his deep feelings for Bertinelli, stating that the breakup was one of the most painful experiences of his life.
Goodnough also mentioned that external factors played a role in their separation, but emphasized that their close contact only recently came to an end. Despite the challenges they faced, Goodnough asserted his love for Bertinelli and the impact she had on his life during their time together.
The emotional post from Goodnough was prompted by what he perceived as “backhanded swipes” from Bertinelli on social media. However, Bertinelli had previously spoken positively about their relationship in a since-deleted post, crediting Goodnough for helping her grow as a person and offering a different perspective on life.
Their breakup, while painful for both parties, seems to have left a lasting impact on both Goodnough and Bertinelli. As they navigate life post-relationship, the couple’s story serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges that come with love and loss in the public eye.
Despite the ups and downs of their romance, both Goodnough and Bertinelli seem to have found value in their time together, with each acknowledging the role the other played in their personal growth and development. As they continue on their separate paths, the lessons learned from their time together will likely stay with them as they navigate future relationships and experiences.
