Valerie Bertinelli is getting honest about her relationship with her late ex-husband, Eddie Van Halen.
The 64-year-old actress first met the iconic rocker in 1980, when she was 20, and he was 26, and the pair tied the knot a year later. Bertinelli and Van Halen, who shared son Wolfgang Van Halen, separated in 2001 and made their divorce official in 2007.
On Thursday, Bertinelli got candid about their marriage while sharing her reaction to Wolfgang’s episode of “Behind the Music,” which was released on Wednesday.
“I was finally able to watch Wolfie’s ‘Behind the Music.’ It was not easy,” she admitted in an emotional Instagram video. “I’d stopped it many times because it was just too brutal to watch for many reasons.”‘
Bertinelli continued, “One, seeing Wolfie’s pain. Two, seeing what a better job I could have done as a parent even though he turned out magnificently. I made a lot of mistakes.”
“And three, seeing what I had turned of Ed’s and my relationship — into some sort of fantasy, soulmate recreation of history,” the “One Day at a Time” alum said.
