Valerie Bertinelli's Heartfelt Tribute to Eddie Van Halen

Six years after the death of Eddie Van Halen, Valerie Bertinelli shared a moving tribute to her late ex-husband. The actress posted a nostalgic photograph of the pair sitting together in a car, accompanied by a short message expressing her lasting love.

The faded image showed a smiling Eddie driving, with Valerie in the passenger seat. This post on October 6 marked the sixth anniversary of the Van Halen guitarist's death in 2020. He passed away at age 65 after a battle with cancer.

Valerie and Eddie married in 1981 and later had their son, Wolfgang, before separating in 2001 and divorcing in 2007. Despite their divorce, they remained connected, and Valerie was with him when he died. Earlier this year, she recalled their first meeting backstage at a Van Halen concert.

Bertinelli frequently reflects on the moments she misses sharing with Eddie as parents, particularly watching their son Wolfgang grow. She previously described their shared enthusiasm for Wolfgang's music and the joy of supporting him together.

Wolfgang, now 35, followed his father into music, performing with Van Halen and later forming his own band. Valerie acknowledged the challenges they faced as parents but emphasized the unconditional love they gave their son.

The anniversary post follows Valerie's recent project, Undeveloped: Stories from the Vault, where she revisits past photographs with her brother, including images from the early days of her relationship with Eddie.
