Valerie Bertinelli, 62 years old, is going her separate way from her husband, Tom Vitale. According to court paperwork that Hollywood Life was able to procure, the actress filed for divorce from her spouse of ten years on May 12, exactly six months after the couple had separated. According to the grounds stated in the petition for divorce filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court, “irreconcilable differences” were to blame.
Couple Submitted Divorce Petition After Being Legally Separated
In the court records, it is also possible to find evidence of a prenuptial agreement signed by Valerie and Tom, a financial advisor. The couple submitted a divorce petition after being legally separated in November 2021.
It was claimed that Valerie requested that neither one of them get spousal maintenance during the divorce filing, and the prenuptial agreement said that they had agreed to split all of their assets equally.
After a courtship lasting several years, Valerie and Tom finally married and tied the knot in 2011. They had their first encounter with Valerie’s brother Patrick, and they hit it off right away. In an interview with People magazine given a few months after their wedding, the actress and co-star on One Day at a Time discussed her feelings for Tom, revealing that she had been keeping them a secret from him. According to what she shared on the website, he “could have stayed with me, and I could have named him my husband for the rest of my life.”
Valerie tied the knot with Tom soon after finalizing her divorce from Eddie Van Halen. Wolf, their son, is now 31 years old and was born to them. Ed says, “I love you” to both Wolfie and me, and “I love you” is also the last thing I say to Ed before he passes away.
She also claimed that she consoled him in his latter days by referring to the fact that their marriage had failed in this incarnation. This was a reference to the fact that their marriage had taken place in a previous life.
According to court papers acquired by PEOPLE, he submitted the amended petition on Thursday at the Los Angeles Superior Court, where the case is pending. According to the documents filed by Bertinelli, this marriage that lasted for ten years was terminated due to “irreconcilable differences.”
A prenuptial agreement was made between Bertinelli and Vitale, a financial adviser. According to the court records, this agreement is legally binding. Before being married in June 2011, Bertinelli and Vitale had seen each other for quite some time. “I wanted to call him my husband,'” the actor from Hot in Cleveland revealed to People shortly after the couple tied the knot in 2011: “I could have lived the rest of my life with Tom and not been married.”
In 2020, Eddie suffered and ultimately lost his battle with lung cancer. He was 65 years old. The actress described how difficult it was for her to part ways with her “soulmate” in an excerpt from her memoir titled “Already Enough: Learning to Love the Way I Am Today.”
When no one was watching, Ed and I did not behave in the manner of a rebellious rock star or a doting mother figure as the public saw us be. According to what she wrote in her journal post, the last thing Ed said to Wolfie and me before he passed away was, “I love you.” She denied having any role in the decision to end her relationship with Vitale, although she developed affections for Eddie.
