Valerie Bertinelli Bares All in Upcoming Memoir 'Getting Naked'

In October 2025, Valerie Bertinelli, the 65-year-old celebrity chef and former "One Day at a Time" star, opened up about her upcoming memoir "Getting Naked" during an appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show." Bertinelli revealed that she has been writing the book over the past year and a half, starting around the same time she began appearing on Barrymore's show in 2024.

Bertinelli credited the "safe space" and supportive atmosphere of Barrymore's show for inspiring her to share her personal story. The book, which is set to hit shelves on March 10, 2026, explores Bertinelli's insecurities, body image issues, and her persistent need to be perfect. Bertinelli also discusses her experience with childhood trauma and how undergoing EMDR (eye movement, desensitization, reprocessing) therapy has been "life saving" for her.

The memoir, titled "Getting Naked," promises to delve into Bertinelli's journey of "growing older, loving harder, and starting over." The book aims to reach people who can see themselves in Bertinelli's experiences and find a way through their own challenges. Bertinelli expressed both excitement and nervousness about the deeply personal nature of the book, hoping it will resonate with the right audience.
