Here’s a little article about them. (and she feels rejected by her son.)
I was wrong on his age...he’s only 18.
Valerie Bertinelli Feels Rejected by Son
In an interview with Ladies’ Home Journal, the actress and Jenny Craig spokeswoman reveals yet another difficult transition — watching her son become an adult.
“My son doesn’t always want me around as much as I want to be around him,” she writes in her new book ‘Finding It.’
Wolfgang, 18, is now the bassist for Van Halen, and is also in his first serious relationship. Bertinelli confesses that she feels rejected when there isn’t a seat for her on the band’s private jet.
On the upside, Valerie and ex-husband Eddie have reconnected since their bitter divorce in 2007, and she now considers him a good friend.
“Tom (her current boyfriend) and I even sat in the front row at Ed’s wedding last summer,” she said.
Bertinelli and Van Halen were married for 26 years, before things fell apart.
Oh gaawwwd. Can you imagine a Rock Band having to reserve a seat on their private jet for the bass-player’s MOTHER?!?!?
PUH-leeeeeze!
Valerie needs to grow up and accept the “empty nest” as a part of maturing motherhood. If your kids are successful and independent at 18, it means you have done a GOOD job raising them. Duh.
And 18 is considered an “adult” in our society (I was married already when I was 18, and stayed with my husband nearly 40 years before his sudden untimely death). HIS mother would NOT let go, though, and it was a source of great misery to me. When we were in our 40’s, she still referred to us as “the children” and demanded to know every name of every hotel we stayed in when we traveled. Sometimes we would just get on the Bikes and RIDE, and stay at various places along the way. THAT drove her nuts. Oh well...water under the bridge. She is gone now, and I have forgiven her for driving me crazy all those years.
