During their time working together on “Kids Baking Championship,” Duff Goldman became a father for the first time. As lovers of Valerie Bertinelli’s “Valerie’s Home Cooking” may remember, a Season 12 episode of the show saw the “Hot in Cleveland” actor whip up something in honor of Goldman and his wife, Johnna Colbry. Taking to Facebook ahead of the episode’s airing, she shared, “I’m sending a care package to my buddy @DuffGoldman and his wife, Johnna, to celebrate the arrival of their baby.”
That wasn’t the only time Bertinelli gushed over Goldman becoming a dad. Speaking to Mashed, she opened up about her excitement at getting to meet his daughter while they were filming “Kids Baking Championship,” gushing, “The last season was so much fun because we shot in Knoxville, Tennessee, and he brought his beautiful wife, Johnna, and his baby, Josephine. So, I got to see Josephine a lot. Oh my God, what a sweet baby.”
That being said, the baby didn’t hog all the adoration in that interview. When the topic shifted to Goldman himself, Bertinelli was anything but shy about the fact that the two were close. “I adore Duff. I just love him,” she told the outlet.
