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.
“š¶ Iāll drink what you think and Iām high from smokinā your jokes all damn night š¶,” 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 starĀ via an essayĀ he wrote for his Substack site.
“I am Valerie Bertinelliās boyfriendā¦ and that may well be among the most surreal sentences Iāve ever pecked out,” he gushed earlier this week.
“But itās trueā¦ and nothing about our actual relationship seems surreal. It just seemsā¦ goodā¦ luckyā¦ a gift.”
Bertinelli first announced she had a “special” boyfriend during an interview with USA Today in March.
“Iāve met someone. And Iām incredibly grateful for him,” she confirmed to the publication at the time. “Itās unlike any relationship that Iāve ever experienced with a man.”

“I donāt want to say too much, but I feel incredibly blessed and lucky to have met him because I wasnāt 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.
