In the video, Bertinelli revealed that the marriage began to unravel due to Eddie’s drug use, alcoholism, and infidelity. She said there was nothing in the relationship that indicated a “soulmate,” but she saw herself as a “mourning widow” after his death in 2020, even though they had been divorced for 20 years.

Bertinelli and Van Halen married in 1981, had their son Wolfgang, and divorced in 2007. Despite the challenges in the relationship, Valerie Bertinelli said she is grateful for the outcome of the marriage because it resulted in their son, whom she considers the best thing that ever happened in her life.

Wolfgang, who is now following in his father’s footsteps in music, described how emotionally difficult but also liberating it was to tell his story on “Behind the Music.” The episode allowed Wolfgang to openly express his bond with his father and reflect on the legacy that Eddie Van Halen left for him and the rock industry.
