Valerie Bertinelli's Heartfelt Tribute to Son Wolfgang Van Halen and On-Screen Son Joe Jonas
Valerie Bertinelli recently shared a nostalgic photo from her time on the set of the sitcom Hot in Cleveland. The picture featured her real son, Wolfgang Van Halen, and her on-screen son, Joe Jonas. Bertinelli reflected on the oddity of acting in her caption.
Bertinelli tied the knot with rock musician Eddie Van Halen in 1981, and their son Wolfgang was born in 1991. The couple parted ways in 2001, with Bertinelli attributing the split to Van Halen's substance abuse issues. Wolfgang, a talented musician, singer, and songwriter, played bass for Van Halen from 2007 to 2020 and has since pursued his solo project, Mammoth.
To mark Wolfgang's 35th birthday on March 16, Bertinelli posted a heartwarming photo of him as a child playing in the grass. She expressed her deep love and gratitude for her son, emphasizing the joy and magic he has brought into her life since his birth.
Fans of Bertinelli and Van Halen's family were quick to notice the striking resemblance between Wolfgang and his late father, Eddie Van Halen, in the throwback photo. The presence of Joe Jonas as Bertinelli's on-screen son in Hot in Cleveland was also a memorable moment for many viewers.
