Valerie Bertinelli and her boyfriend Mike Goodnough are feeling that high school type of love.
The celebrity chef and her new beau went Instagram-official Saturday with a selfie of them smiling.
Bertinelli captioned the post with lyrics from one of Taylor Swift’s new songs off her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” called “So High School,” which is believed to be about Travis Kelce.
“🎶 I’ll drink what you think and I’m high from smokin’ your jokes all damn night 🎶,” the caption read.
The adorable selfie showed the lovebirds grinning as they leaned their heads together.
Goodnough cheekily commented on the post, writing, “They look happy, those two,” to which Bertinelli, 63, then sweetly replied, “Very.”
Their cheerful snap came days after Goodnough, a writer and photographer, revealed he was dating the former sitcom star via an essay he wrote for his Substack site.
“I am Valerie Bertinelli’s boyfriend… and that may well be among the most surreal sentences I’ve ever pecked out,” he gushed earlier this week.
“But it’s true… and nothing about our actual relationship seems surreal. It just seems… good… lucky… a gift.”
Bertinelli first announced she had a “special” boyfriend during an interview with USA Today in March.
“I’ve met someone. And I’m incredibly grateful for him,” she confirmed to the publication at the time. “It’s unlike any relationship that I’ve ever experienced with a man.”

“I don’t want to say too much, but I feel incredibly blessed and lucky to have met him because I wasn’t expecting it,” the “One Day at a Time” alum added.
Earlier this month, Bertinelli teased her romance once more by saying she had fallen head over heels for her then-mystery man — whom she met on Instagram — and added that she was completely “in love.”
“It was strictly platonic but there was something about him that I connected with that felt familiar,” she further explained of how she was swept off her feet.
Bertinelli also noted that the pair had a “crazy” comfort level with one another.

The former Food Network host’s romance comes nearly two years after she finalized her divorce from her ex-husband Tom Vitale after 10 years of marriage.
Bertinelli was also previously married to the rock icon Eddie Van Halen from 1981 to 2007.
They shared an adult son named Wolfgang Van Halen. Eddie died after battling cancer in 2020.
