Valerie Bertinelli reminisces about a memorable visit to see her late ex-husband, Eddie Van Halen, during one of his tours in the early '80s. She recalls the amusing incident that occurred when she and Eddie's brother, Alex Van Halen, tried to join the band at a bar in Brazil but were mistaken for prostitutes by hotel staff. Despite the mix-up, Bertinelli fondly remembers her time with Eddie and their son Wolfgang, whom they welcomed in 1991.
Bertinelli shares how she first met Eddie when her brothers invited her to a Van Halen concert in Shreveport. Initially unfamiliar with the band, she was drawn to Eddie's charm and musical talent. Their relationship blossomed, leading to a marriage that lasted from 1981 to 2001. Despite their eventual divorce, Bertinelli cherishes the memories they shared and the bond they formed over the years.
Following her marriage to Eddie, Bertinelli found love again with Tom Vitale, whom she was married to from 2011 to 2021. She also briefly dated Mike Goodnough in 2024.
