Valerie Bertinelli Admits Eddie Van Halen Was Not Her ‘Soulmate’ in Emotional Instagram Video

Valerie Bertinelli got emotional on Instagram as she discussed her relationship with ex-husband Eddie Van Halen and said that the rocker wasn’t her ‘soulmate.’

“Seeing what I had turned of Ed’s and my relationship — into some sort of fantasy, soulmate recreation of history,” Valerie, 64, said, in a clip posted on Instagram on Thursday, May 2. “But after Ed died, I was more than willing to put myself in the grieving widow category for a man that I hadn’t lived with for 20 years,” Valerie continued. Eddie’s partying ways eventually rubbed off on Valerie and she discussed her decision to quit using drugs in her 2008 book, Losing It.
