She was a '70s TV star who worked with Matthew Perry and was married to a rock star but in this flashback photo she's unrecognizable. Who is it?

As a lifestyle expert, I find Valerie Bertinelli to be a truly remarkable woman who has not only graced our screens for decades but also managed to maintain her popularity and relevance in today’s fast-paced world. Her versatility as an actress, author, and television personality is commendable, and her ability to adapt and evolve with the times is nothing short of inspiring.


Back in the 1970s, she became a prominent television personality, appearing in numerous sitcoms. However, it wasn’t Friends that made her famous; another show featuring Matthew Perry was her stage.

This attractive brunette woman was once married to a renowned rockstar, but their marriage ended in 2007. Regrettably, he passed away in 2020.

Her popularity is immense which has made her never fade away from the limelight.

She even was on a TV show with Betty White. 

Apart from being a jack-of-all-trades, she has penned several cookbooks and graced morning talk shows. Currently, she’s collaborating with Drew Barrymore on a project.

On Thursday, the pin-up (currently in her sixties) posted an old photograph from her 16th birthday, expressing her thoughts about if only she could have taken life a bit slower during her younger years.

1976 snap showcasing a glamorous look. Age 16, full of frenzy. Occasionally, I yearn to rewind time and advise that young girl to pace herself. It’s alright to take it easy, she penned down.

Who is she?

She is Valerie Bertinelli.

When she appeared on the show One Day At A Time, her popularity skyrocketed; she had previously worked alongside Matthew Perry in Sydney, and later shared the screen with Betty White on Hot In Cleveland.

Her former husband was Eddie Van Halen, who passed away in 2020. They were married between 1981 and 2007, during which time they had a son named Wolfgang, born in 1991. After that, she was married to Tom Vitale from 2011 to 2012.

In July she Bertinelli said she has struggled to keep her own relationship rule.

The 64-year-old actress started dating lifestyle writer Mike Goodnough, 53.

They established a rule in March that they wouldn’t go more than three weeks without meeting, but maintaining this schedule has proven to be a difficult task for both of them.

She told People: ‘It’s been challenging. The summer has been booked full. It is challenging!’

As a connoisseur of life’s rich tapestry, I find myself at a point where I wish to maintain my relationships with a more intimate and private touch. This was a lesson learned from my past experiences, and I am eager to apply it moving forward.

She mentioned that a portion of her feels as if she’s been too open in the past and is now striving to reduce her public presence and maintain certain aspects privately, exclusively for herself and others.

It’s as if you might say, “Oops, I accidentally revealed the secret.” To be clear, I want to maintain our confidentiality and make things feel more exclusive.

‘Even though I was so public with it, now part of me wants to just protect. He’s terrific.’

Earlier this year, during their initial encounter, Valerie had a strong feeling that everything was perfectly suited for her in her new relationship, and it just felt absolutely right to her.

She expressed: ‘I’m heading to the hotel to find him, and he’s already there waiting outside. As soon as I step out of the car, I rush towards him for a heartfelt embrace. It was an amazing hug. The moment I did that, it felt like I was back home. This is where I truly belong, in this man’s arms. Everything just feels incredibly right.’

In April, Bertinelli stated that it wouldn’t be fair to solely lay the blame on her ex-husband for their deeply unhealthy and difficult marriage.

The actress acknowledges that Vitale wasn’t entirely responsible for their failed marriage.

In her interview with The Drew Barrymore Show, Valerie clarified that she doesn’t solely point fingers at her former spouse for the toxic and unpleasant nature of their marriage. Instead, she acknowledges that it wasn’t entirely his responsibility.

‘What led me to that? Oh, childhood! That’s the stuff I got to start working on.

It seems that I’ve discovered a pattern where my appreciation shines most clearly during difficult or tough periods, it’s then that significant growth takes place.

Valerie explained that she’s still working through her own childhood trauma.

The actress acknowledges that her troubled past continues to influence her life.

Valerie stated: ‘Running a business can have a profound impact on a child’s mindset. I’m returning to topics related to childhood and focusing my efforts there.’
