Valerie Bertinelli Finds Joy in Wolfgang Van Halen's Stage Success
Valerie Bertinelli Spills the Tea on Her Son Wolfgang Van Halen's Music Career and His Emotional Wedding Day
In a heartwarming Instagram post, Valerie Bertinelli, the 65-year-old actress and former wife of rock legend Eddie Van Halen, shared her pure joy at watching her 34-year-old son Wolfgang perform live on stage with his band Mammoth. The proud mom couldn't contain her excitement as she watched her son kill it on stage, complete with a pink shirt and ripped jeans.
Bertinelli's caption read: "Color me contented... Did my favorite thing in the world tonight. Got to watch my son kill it on stage." She added, "Happy ✔️ Proud ✔️ Grateful ✔️," along with a photo of Wolfgang in action, his guitar slung over his shoulder and the band's logo emblazoned behind him.
But this isn't just any ordinary mother-son moment. Wolfgang's music career has been a long time coming, and Bertinelli has been right by his side every step of the way. In fact, she even made a cameo appearance in his music video for "The End" back in May. And now, with their new album "The End" set to drop on October 24th, Wolfgang is embarking on a tour that will take him all over the country.
Bertinelli's pride in her son's accomplishments knows no bounds. When talking about Eddie Van Halen's passing two years ago, she shared how he would have been beaming with pride at Wolfgang's success. "Ed would've been absolutely beaming and so, so proud of the man Wolfie has become and is becoming," she wrote on Instagram.
But what's even more touching is Bertinelli's account of Eddie's final days. In her memoir "Enough Already: Learning to Love the Way I Am Today," released in 2022, she revealed that Eddie's last words to her were "I love you." The heart-wrenching details of their relationship and how they remained close even after their divorce will melt your heart.
And speaking of heartwarming moments, we can't help but swoon over Wolfgang's wedding day. In August 2022, he tied the knot with his partner Andraia Allsop in a beautiful ceremony surrounded by loved ones. The couple first met on Instagram back in 2015 and have been inseparable ever since.
Their intimate wedding was held in their living room, with just 90 guests in attendance. Wolfgang's custom three-piece suit and Andraia's stunning Eva Lendel dress made for a match made in heaven. But what really got our hearts racing was when the couple wrote their own vows and honored their late loved ones in their speeches.
In an exclusive interview with TheScholarlyNote.com, Bertinelli gushed about her new daughter-in-law: "Andraia is just wonderful. She's so kind and caring, and I can see why Wolfgang fell in love with her." And when asked if she was proud of Wolfgang for not playing at his own wedding, Bertinelli laughed, "Oh, absolutely! He was right, he didn't want to play on his special day."
So there you have it - a heartwarming tale of mother-son love, rock star romance, and true devotion. Stay tuned for more updates on Wolfgang's music career and the Van Halen family's next moves!
