Valerie Bertinelli<\/strong> was married to Eddie Van Halen<\/strong> for more than 25 years, but she isn’t rushing to read Brothers,<\/em> the new book by Alex Van Halen<\/strong> that came out Oct. 22.<\/p>\n

Appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show<\/em><\/a> on Nov. 7, Bertinelli says she was “shaking” just thinking about reading the book, which has been sitting in her house for awhile now. “It\u2019s going to be emotional,\u201d she said. “It\u2019s going to be very emotional, because I love these two men. They are good men and they are very complicated men.”<\/p>\n

The actress\u00a0said Alex told her last year he was writing the book, which surprised her. “He\u2019s a very private man, and for him to do this is extraordinary. And to do it so beautifully \u2014 I\u2019m so proud of you, Al. I\u2019m so happy that you wrote your story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brothers<\/em> is about the relationship between Alex and Eddie, who died of cancer in 2020 at age 65.<\/p>\n

“I truly believe that [through the book], people get a different insight into Ed the man, and not the icon, or whatever you think you might know about him,” Bertinelli\u00a0continued. “He was not that. He was a gentle, gentle soul who went through extreme trauma and Al did, too.”<\/p>\n

Bertinelli concluded by congratulating her former brother-in-law on his bestseller.<\/a><\/p>\n

The One Day at a Time<\/em> star married Eddie in 1981; they shared a son, Wolfgang Van Halen<\/strong>, leader of the band Mammoth WVH<\/strong>. They were officially divorced in 2007. In 2009, Eddie married Janie Liszewski<\/strong>. Both Janie and Valerie were at his bedside when he died.<\/span><\/p>\n
