“I am irreversibly changed from him to better,” Bertinelli told his ex in a publication shared via Instagram on Monday, March 3. “I know I’m getting a much stronger and better man, that I met him and spent time with him.”
It was first announced that the couple split back in November 2024. This is the first time Bertinelli has publicly admitted the breakup.
“Before I had the pleasure of meeting Mike, I was initially and immediately attracted to his writing. It is cardiovascular, authentic, smart, fun, sensitive, careful and soul. And the way he puts words is just so ridiculously beautiful. 🤩 I’m a big fan, can you say? “She continued.
“And since luck would have, the human being is personally just as cordial, authentic, sensitive and caring as his writing,” added Bertinelli. “And wickedly witty.”
The actress wrote that she felt “so lucky that she knew him” and “soak his insights.”

Bertinelli admitted to the people in April 2024 that she was “in love”, joking that “I have to die with my six cats and my dog ​​and very happy to live for the rest of my years – I’m fine alone.”
“🎶 I’ll drink what you think, and I’m high from your smoky jokes throughout the damn night 🎶 🎶 ♥ @@therealhoarsse,” Bertinels wrote with the sweet photo.
On Monday, Bertinelli said that despite the separation, she would “appreciate all our long conversations”, which “lead me to interesting and compelling places that I rarely intended to go.”
“I look at life with a different perspective and care for my experiences and conversations with him,” she continued with her ex. “And he was a big part of helping me heal from some old childhood wounds that I never knew what to do or even where to start.”
Bertinelli also encouraged their followers to subscribe to Goodnough’s sub -end.
