shocking news: Valerie Bertinelli Reveals Why She Hasn’t Read Alex Van Halen’s Book: “I Know It’s Going to Be Emotional..

In a recent interview, actress Valerie Bertinelli shared why she hasn’t yet picked up the highly anticipated memoir by Alex Van Halen, the legendary drummer of Van Halen. Bertinelli, who was married to Alex’s bandmate Eddie Van Halen for over 20 years, revealed that she has deliberately stayed away from reading the book due to its emotional weight.

“I know it’s going to be emotional,” Bertinelli confessed. “I’ve heard bits and pieces of what’s in it, and I’m not ready to go there just yet.” The emotional connection she still feels toward Eddie, who passed away in 2020 after a long battle with cancer, makes reading Alex’s perspective on their shared history too difficult at the moment.

Bertinelli explained that while she deeply respects Alex and the band, the complex and intimate memories from her time with Eddie are still fresh, and revisiting those times through Alex’s eyes would be a lot to handle. “It’s going to bring up a lot of feelings,” she added, acknowledging the pain and the love that will come flooding back when she eventually decides to read it.

Despite her reluctance to dive into the book, Bertinelli continues to support Alex and his family and remains a part of the broader Van Halen legacy. The relationship between the Van Halen brothers, Eddie, and Bertinelli has always been portrayed as close-knit, with both Alex and Eddie often expressing deep admiration for her.

While she may not be ready to read Alex’s book right now, Bertinelli remains a devoted fan of the music that changed her life and continues to hold onto the cherished memories she has with Eddie. For now, though, the emotional journey of reading about that chapter of her life will have to wait.
