VALERIE BERTINELLI STARTING OVER at 62

THE NEWLY DIVORCED STAR OF VALERIE'S HOME COOKING HAS NO REGRETS ABOUT CHANGING UP HER LIFE

It's been a difficult couple of years for Network star, actress-turned-Food Valerie Bertinelli - so much so that her fans have worried if she's okay. "I'm just having a bad day," Valerie said in a video response to queries. "Sometimes we have bad days, and then we get over them, and then there's a good day. So I'm looking forward to the good day."

It can't come soon enough. Valerie recently signed papers to end her 11-year marriage to financial planner Tom Vitale. The divorce comes on top of the heartbreaking 2020 death of Eddie Van Halen, her first husband and the father of her son, musician Wolf Van Halen. "It's been a trying time. Losing Eddie, splitting from Tom, and her food and body issues seemed to all have collided at once," explains a friend. "She just wants peace of mind."
