One Day At A Time Star Reveals Split From Tom Vitale
Bertinelli tied the knot with Tom Vitale in January 2011. She filed for legal separation a year ago. And in May, the One Day At A Time alum filed for divorce. But in a symbolic (and profitable) move, Valerie then sold her Jimmy Choo sandals from the ceremony along with her wedding ring four months later.
In addition to using Twitter to declare her divorce “the second best day of my life,” Valerie shared her sale on Instagram earlier this year. “Dropped a few things off. A couple of Tiffany rings that have some bad memories attached,” revealed the actress. “And a pair of shoes I wore to a wedding in January 2011 😉.”
Vitale and Bertinelli quickly settled their divorce. And the two do not have any children together. But Valerie does cherish her son Wolfgang. She welcomed him into the world on March 16, 1991 with his late father musician Eddie Van Halen.

However, Matthew Perry offered up his own memories of Valerie’s marriage to the musician. And he shared his canoodling session with the actress. “I told her I had thought about doing that for a long time,” recalled Perry. “And she had said it right back to me,” claimed Perry.
But Valerie joked in response. And she asked, “Anyone else misbehave in their 20’s and early 30’s? Are you mortified?” in a social media post. Using Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero” as her music, the actress waved as the lyrics, “I’m the problem, it’s me” played.
