Valerie Bertinelli’s ex Mike Goodnough shed some light on his “complicated” relationship with the “One Day at a Time” actress as he issued a lengthy statement on their breakup.

“Writing this post makes me absolutely miserable,” he began his caption via Instagram Friday, which accompanied a graphic that read: “You & me. The end.”

“But it feels like something I have to do.”

Goodnough went on to reference a reported one-sided conflict between the exes that took place earlier this month, accepting fault for the whole ordeal.

“A post of mine here was the cause of it. I regret having posted it. I wish I hadn’t. The issue addressed was real. My post made it worse rather than better,” he said.

“Valerie and I had a complicated relationship. Our time as a couple ended months ago but our close contact only really ended recently. So, it is more ‘fresh’ than it would seem.”

The author also insinuated their relationship ended due to “things outside of [their] relationship” that “interfered.”

“The one thing that was never an issue was our love for each other. I loved Valerie more than I’ve ever loved someone in a relationship of choice. (My love for my son is a whole different thing.),” he shared.

“As a result, the dissolution of our relationship and way it played out has been by far the most painful experience of my life.”

“It has been so acutely agonizing, it has entirely changed the scale of how much heartbreak can hurt. What was once a 10 is now a four,” he closed.

Bertinelli and Goodnough reportedly split in November 2024 after 10 months of dating.

At the time, a source told People that the couple were no longer together. However, Goodnough seemed to neither confirm nor deny the news in a statement given to the outlet.

“Valerie and I are the only two people with insight into our relationship. Neither of us pays much attention to chatter among people outside of it,” Goodnough said.

Bertinelli began dating Goodnough in January 2024. Though, she didn’t reveal her new relationship publicly until March 2024.

She publicly spoke out regarding their split last month, telling her Instagram followers that she initially fell for the author’s writing before she fell in love with him.

“I met the @therealhoarse in person a year ago today and I am irreversibly changed by him for the better. I know I am becoming a much stronger and more benevolent human for having met him and spent time with him,” she wrote at the time.

Mikey Madison won’t be joining Ryan Gosling in a galaxy far, far away.

According to a report from Variety, a source has said that Madison, 26, was offered a role in the next Star Wars film, which is set to star the Barbie actor, 44, but she declined the part.

Not much information is known about the upcoming installment in the sci-fi franchise, Star Wars: Starfighter, but director Shawn Levy (Deadpool & Wolverine) is set to helm the project.

Plot details for Star Wars: Starfighter have yet to be released, but viewers can expect a brand-new adventure with new characters.

“It takes place in a period after the Battle of Exegol, after episode 9,” Levy, 56, said during the movie’s announcement in April, referencing Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

“[There are] so many opportunities to tell a Star Wars story that has all the heart and action and fun of Star Wars, but to do it in ways that are new and original,” he added.

Fans of the franchise will remember that the Battle of Exegol was the climactic showdown between the Resistance and the First Order, which ended with the Sith being destroyed once and for all. The battle took place on Exegol, a planet in the Unknown Regions.

Following the destruction of the Sith fleet, the people of the galaxy rose against the First Order, setting the stage for the next movie.

Levy confirmed Gosling’s role in the new Star Wars film at the Star Wars Celebration event in Tokyo on Thursday, April 17.

“I had heard at one point that my movie was going to star Ryan Gosling and, believe me, that would be a dream come true for me,” Levy told the crowd from the stage. “So today, I just wanted to tell you here in this room that that rumor is 100% true.”

Star Wars: Starfighter is slated to hit theaters on May 28, 2027, according to the official teaser trailer.

Madison is fresh off of an Academy Award win for her leading role in Anora, in which she played the titular character — a sex worker experiencing a whirlwind Cinderella story.

After accepting the Best Actress statuette from last year’s winner Emma Stone, Madison described the moment as “surreal.” She added, “Hollywood always felt so far away for me. So to be here standing in this room today is really incredible.”

Prior to the awards ceremony in March, Madison spoke with PEOPLE in an exclusive interview for the 2025 Oscar Portfolio and said she’s “definitely” been getting some exciting offers since the film debuted last year to great acclaim. 

“There are some things that I am really excited about and have my fingers crossed,” she shared at the time.

Eva Longoria had all eyes on her at the Global Gift Gala at Hotel President Wilson in Geneva, Switzerland, Saturday.

The “Desperate Housewives” actress put on a stunning display as she walked the carpet in a sparkling silver beaded dress with a strapless neckline and train.

The 50-year-old, who served as honorary chair at the event, accessorized with a silver necklace and earrings.

She also wore her brunette hair straight over her shoulders and dolled her face up with gorgeous makeup.

Later, she was joined on the white carpet by her 6-year-old son, Santiago, whom she shares with husband José Bastón.

Santiago was pictured wearing a light gray blazer over a light blue button-up. He also wore dark-colored shorts, knee-high socks and brown dress shoes as he snuggled up to his mom in the cute photos.

Finally, Longoria posed for photos with event chair Maria Bravo and singer Vitaa.

Longoria’s attendance at the event comes just a few weeks after she celebrated her 50th birthday with a star-studded party in Miami.

Photos obtained by Page Six showed the actress dancing with pals like Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, Becky G and more at David Grutman’s Casadonna.

She was also joined by her husband, who “endearingly stood by her and celebrated her” as she rang in the big milestone.

“Eva was glowing,” an eyewitness adds of the “Devious Maids” alum.

Just a few days later, she celebrated her birthday with a second, more intimate gathering on a yacht.

“Grateful to have begun celebrating my birthday (as it will be a month long 🤭) I felt so loved! Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! Ready for this new decade ✨,” she captioned a slideshow of images from the event.
