Valerie Bertinelli’s new look stuns fans! Is it Ozempic or a mindset miracle? Her latest Instagram video has everyone buzzing about her slimmer figure. Supporters cheer her transformation, while others question the methods. Only she knows the truth, but one thing’s for sure: everyone wants to know her secret!

TV star and cookbook author Valerie Bertinelli has sparked a whirlwind of speculation among fans after sharing a recent Instagram video. The 64-year-old’s appearance had netizens buzzing about potential weight loss. Some wondered if she was using Ozempic.

In the video, Bertinelli is seen with her new boyfriend, Mike Goodnough, in a cozy home setting. She wore casual jeans and a white top, while Goodnough sported navy blue sweatpants and a green T-shirt.

The couple playfully practiced a transition from their casual outfits to elegant attire, with the video smoothly shifting to show them dressed for the 2024 Daytime Emmys.

Bertinelli stunned in an all-white suit, and Goodnough looked sharp in a black suit paired with black and white sneakers. The video ends with a sweet moment as Bertinelli places her arm around Goodnough, and they walk away together.

Captioning the video, the cookbook author humorously noted, “Sooo… tried to make one of those newfangled transition videos like the cool kids. It went…well…like this 🤣😂(we’ll never be the cool kids),” tagging her boyfriend.

Garnering over 200,000 views, the video drew a mix of reactions from fans. Some praised the couple’s charming display, while others fixated on Bertinelli’s noticeable weight loss, fueling further speculation and conversation.

“Ozempic again,” speculated one fan, echoing the thoughts of many. Another added, “She looks like she lost weight. #ozempic.” Another critic didn’t hold back, stating, “She seems desperate to me. Something is just not right…”

On the brighter side, Bertinelli’s die-hard fans showered her with love and positivity. “You look amazing, Valerie! And SO happy; love to see you this way! ❤️[sic]” praised one supporter.

Another admirer marveled at her timeless beauty, saying, “Valerie, you still look so young…” Celebrating her newfound joy, someone else wrote, “You look so happy, finally!!!! U look so good with your new boyfriend.”

Despite the swirling speculations, Bertinelli has clarified that she has not used Ozempic, the popular diet drug. However, she supports those who find success with it. The TV personality shared that it took her a long time to learn how to listen to her body and discover what truly nourished her.

Bertinelli emphasized practicing patience and being kind to oneself when it comes to weight loss. She revealed that mastering emotional control has been key to her weight loss journey. “Unless you do the emotional and mental work, weight is not going to stay off,” she explained, noting that everyone has their unique approach to weight loss.

In her cookbook, “Indulge,” Bertinelli shares her favorite recipes and touching personal stories. She details her evolution from obsessively watching what she ate to fully enjoying the food she puts on the table.

Though she admits to occasionally slipping into unconscious eating, she now meets these moments with encouragement rather than self-criticism.

Reflecting on her journey, Bertinelli wishes she had learned these tricks earlier. Yet, she remains optimistic about the future, saying, “I’m certainly going to enjoy the next 20 years. I see a happy ending.”

Bertinelli’s high-profile career has also exposed her love life to the public. Recently she made headlines after debuting on the red carpet with her boyfriend, Goodnough during the Daytime Emmys.

The love birds’ debut on red-carpet created a buzz among fans, many of whom were thrilled to see her find happiness. Compliments such as, “She deserves it,” and “I hope this is the right guy for her,” flooded the comments section.

However, not everyone was on the same page. Some fans recalled Bertinelli’s past remarks about swearing off love. In a candid interview with Hoda Kotb on “TODAY,” the TV star had declared she was done with romance.

After two failed marriages—first to Eddie Van Halen and then to Tom Vitale, ending in 2022 after 11 years—she said, “I am going to be more than happy to be happily divorced and spend the rest of my life alone.”

Bertinelli’s first marriage to Van Halen, with whom she shares her son, Wolfgang, ended in 2007. Despite their split, Van Halen, who died at 65 from cancer, remained a pivotal figure in her life. They had been married for over two decades.

In 2023, the TV icon even posted an Instagram video with the caption, “When someone asks if I’ll start dating soon…” emphatically shaking her head and stating, “Definitely no.”

Given her previous declarations and tumultuous experiences with love, some fans were surprised by her new relationship. Comments like, “She said she would never date again,” and “I thought she wasn’t going to get involved with anyone for a really long time!!” were common on social media.

Bertinelli made her relationship with Goodnough public by sharing their first picture together a few months ago. The heartwarming photo showed the cookbook author glowing with happiness as she cozied up to her boyfriend. Despite past heartaches, it seems Bertinelli has found joy and love once again, to the delight and surprise of her followers.
