He was neither. He was a man.
Valentine was being held in prison awaiting execution for illegally marrying couples when the emperor declared marriage to be against the law. The daughter of his jailer was healed of her blindness by Valentine and became a Christian and good friend of the Saint. Shortly before he died, Valentine sent her a letter and told her to remain faithful to God. He signed it, "From Your Valentine."
