Summary
- Bertinelli admits romance and marriage have been challenging.
- She reflects on her amicable split from Eddie Van Halen.

In her new memoir, Getting Naked: The Quiet Work of Becoming Perfectly Imperfect, Valerie Bertinelli candidly discusses her complicated relationship with love and marriage. She admits that romance has never been easy for her, describing it as a "messy math equation" where she struggles with the calculations of love and marriage, leading to two public divorces.
Bertinelli shared that her marriage to Eddie Van Halen, which began in 1981 and ended in divorce in 2007, was amicable. She noted that they maintained love for each other until his death in October 2020. This differed significantly from her second marriage to Tom Vitale, which concluded with their split in 2022 after more than a decade together.
