 Valerie Bertinelli: I cheated, too
The actress Valerie Bertinelli says her marriage to Eddie Van Halen was hurt by unfaithfulness and drug used by her. Bertinelli said on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" broadcast on Monday, "I wasn't an angel, either. I cheated, too". He claims to this day that I cheated first, but I don't know. I don't know about the timing.
Valerie Bertinelli, who featured in the long-running sitcom "One Day at a Time," married Van Halen in 1981 when she was 20. She said he was "destroying my body," trying to keep up with a rock-star lifestyle on the weekends and weeks off from taping her TV show.
Valerie Bertinelli said, "It got to a point where whenever I heard the birds chirp, I'd be like, `Oh, God, no.' It took me years after stopping the cocaine before I was able to enjoy a sunrise and enjoy the sound of birds".
They separated in 2001 and their divorce became final in December. They have a son, Wolfgang, who is now 16. Wolfgang is now touring as bassist with the band Van Halen.
Valerie Bertinelli, who is now 47, said she has struggled with body-image issues since she was a child, but especially turned to food for comfort as her marriage dissolved.
Bertinelli is now a spokeswoman for Jenny Craig and said she's lost 40 pounds. She has a new book, "Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time."
Publicist of Eddie Van Halen said the musician had no comment on Valerie Bertinelli's book or interviews to promote it.  |
