Bertinelli Rules Out Dating After Tough Year

Valerie Bertinelli recently shared insights into her current love life, indicating that she is not seeking new romantic relationships. The actress described the past year, 2024, as particularly challenging, referencing her November 2024 breakup with ex-boyfriend Mike Goodnough. She humorously noted that her black cat, Batman, is her only current companion, effectively ruling out dating for the foreseeable future.

Bertinelli's comments follow the release of her memoir, "Getting Naked: The Quiet Work of Becoming Perfectly Imperfect," in March. In it, she explored her complex romantic history, including her continued affection for her late ex-husband, Eddie Van Halen. She also reflected on her second marriage to Tom Vitale, which ended after ten years, and her earlier relationship with Goodnough. The memoir details her long-standing difficulties in achieving lasting love, likening romance to a "messy math equation" she struggles to solve.
