Valerie Bertinelli and Mike Goodnough, the new power couple in Hollywood, made a stylish entrance at the 2024 Daytime Emmys, leaving fans and fellow celebrities in awe. The former Food Network star, 64, and her boyfriend turned heads with their effortless charm and playful antics on the red carpet.
As they arrived at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites in Los Angeles, the couple initially donned casual jeans and T-shirts, but their transformation for the glam night out was nothing short of spectacular.
A Trendy Transition
Bertinelli and Goodnough attempted to create a trendy social media video, documenting their transformation from casual to chic. After a few hilarious tries, they finally nailed the perfect jump, and the video cut to Bertinelli in an elegant white suit, her hair styled in subtle waves. Goodnough complemented her look with an all-black suit and matching sneakers.
Bertinelli shared the video on Instagram, captioning it with a playful jab at their initial struggles: “Sooo… tried to make one of those newfangled transition videos like the cool kids. It went…well…like this 🤣😂.”
A Night to Remember
Goodnough also took to social media to share a selfie of the couple at their table during the ceremony. While acknowledging the “fun for a minute as a novelty” aspect of the celebrity event, he emphasized that “it isn’t what matters.” Instead, he revealed that after the event, they “skipped the gala and went home and ate pizza together,” highlighting their down-to-earth nature and priorities.
The couple’s relationship, which they made public in April, has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Bertinelli, who initially planned to “die with my six cats and my dog and very happily live the rest of my years alone,” found herself unexpectedly falling in love.
A Love Story for the Ages
In an interview with PEOPLE, Bertinelli expressed her joy and surprise at finding love again, saying, “I’m in love. It’s a seesaw of emotions because I was adamant I was never falling in love again.” The couple’s genuine connection and ability to embrace both the glamorous and the ordinary moments have endeared them to fans and the media alike.
As Bertinelli and Goodnough continue to navigate their newfound love and the spotlight, their authenticity and playful spirit have undoubtedly won over many hearts, making their appearance at the 2024 Daytime Emmys a night to remember.
