I so understand what she saying I still love my children dad so much . 26 years married but I left because of his addiction not because I didn’t love him . Still 8 years latter I never had another relationship because I love him but his addiction was killing my soul I had to save myself.
Huge Van Halen fan. I've got 2 stands ups of Eddie in my hallway. And it's one from when he started and one was Later in his career in the 90. They were so lucky to have each other and they were both really special people they had their problems. That's true at although. Wolfgang turned out to be a good kid. They never really wanted to get divorced.
Great interview! I’ve always felt Valerie is a very kind person. It’s refreshing to see how down to earth she is. One word Authentic! Love that she wants to help others through her own life experiences. I’m getting the book asap! God Bless her and her family 🌞❤️🙏🎶💫🎸🎤🇺🇸
I haven’t read the book, but how can you not like Valerie. She’s wonderful and to those people who are saying she should stop talking about her ex, they were a major part of each others lives for decades until his death and they share a child together. Additionally, she’s always getting asked to talk about it so just let the woman live. She attained and maintained success on her own separate from him. I see nothing wrong with what she’s doing.
Loved this interview. I have the greatest respect for Valerie. She really seems to have evolved into a beautiful, intelligent woman from the sweet girl she was back in the days of my youth. I hope she continues her journey, and finds all the joy and love she deserves.
Valerie is beautiful inside and out. Eddie is a guitar legend and Wolfie has amazing musical talent. I believe Valerie and Eddie were soulmates regardless of the struggles they went through.
That was an excellent interview. Valerie is a good person inside & out. So what she keeps talking about Ed. That was her first love. And she will always love Ed. I love Valerie she my kind of person.
the issue is Hollywood-get off MSM and the Hollywood mindset and just live your life Val. Like a normal person without the pressure of the "persona". Focus on health, not weight.Not "what to project into MSM to see you a certain way". You have many gifts to live a great life with your earnings. Step back and take back yourself. Close friends and family give you reassurance-not strangers.
It’s ironic that Valerie has struggled with self esteem because as a young adult she was always such a role model. I get the body issues because as a normal size 14 American women I get it. Instead of worrying about our health, we diet to try and reach some perceived idea we have in our heads about what we are supposed to look like. So very glad that she has embraced her authentic self and is more concerned about being healthy and happy than the size or number on a scale! BRAVO VALERIE! We loved you then and still love you now!
As a guitar player, I understand why Edward dealt with life circumstances the way he did ( in terms of relationships versus work on an instrument, touring life, etc. ). While I can't speak for Val and Edward, I do think one element not included in this interview ( and other interviews involving Valerie and Edward ) is that Edward came from a relationship which didn't really emphasize communication using words, or, at the very least, dealt with relationships through explorations of words and feeling with the intent to resolve any problems. Clapton also had relationship " issues " ( through his own broken family pathway ) while using music ( and drugs, to an extent ) for communicating feelings. I like this interview because Valerie is not afraid of expressing her " regrets " and using those regrets for empowerment. But, like Sammy Hagar, Noel Monk, Steve Lukather and Ted Templeman discovered themselves through their own books-interviews, Edward simply couldn't express himself through words but ( mainly ) through music. NO ONE, not even Valerie, can properly evaluate that until one becomes a musician themselves ( even Wolf Van Halen knows this through his ventures in social media ). Being a guitar player has definitely frustrated my own family even though there shouldn't be jealously because talent is simply a tool for expression. But, music is a tool that simply can't be broken down into words for expressions. Musician relationships often go through rocky transitions because any instrument can truly bring more out of a soul than words ever can. And, Edward's brilliance will never be properly shown through words let alone interviews.
I thought Ed was married and was with his current wife up to his passing. It's sad to hear he was alone in his house the last 2 years. It would have been a bit strange if she went over because she was married. So anyway to sad to hear he was alone a couple years before passing.
I dont think she minds. She knows their history and that they have a son together. Janie and Eddie were separated when he passed away and she moved out. Valerie said Eddie lived alone the last two years of his life.
This just my opinion but I have seen so many celebrity and non- celebrity marriages ruined because a spouse married someone else while harboring feelings for an old love. As a minister, I warn against entering into relationships if there are still lingering feelings for a past love. When you say that you will love, honor and cherish someone on your wedding day, you are also saying that, that person has your heart. It was obvious that Valerie still loved Eddie and because of that, she basically lied to her second husband. No one wants to be a substitute, or be "arm candy". That was just wrong. Wish Eddie was still here to give his side of the story . If Tom and Jani felt used, then I'd say that it was understandable. No one wants to have their emotions toyed with. 😒😔
Everyone has regrets!!!! Valerie has written a book or two about struggling with her weight. It's my impression this book is more about her love for Eddie!!!.
Amen. She is an attention seeker. Revisional history as far as her marriage to Ed. Her sweetsie act is phony.. Without makeup she looks like many women. Not unusual to be chunky in your 50’s and 60’s and genetics play a huge part. She should be real worried about her son’s weight at his young age. He is morbidly obese.
Your weight does not matter and as a man you have always been beautiful and damn sexy never let yourself or anyone tell you different. You have no clue who I am but I know pretty when i see it and you are one of the pretty ones and you seem like a nice lady, you loved my favorite guitar player so you have to be a good person and you have a great kid who I hope does not have any issues with his looks or size he seems like a great guy. I do not know you or eddie or wolfie but I hope nothing but happiness for you and wolfie and I know eddie is happy now, he looks down at his family and knows he left us more than great music. Peace
Always liked her!! ... glad she seems to be somewhat happy!! ... as far as wight goes i believe for me it's more about health! Especially as we get older! So for her because she's my age! So i hope she finds a good place but i do think it's not healthy to be overweight! No matter what! ... if somebody isn't happy or at peace within their lives it really doesn't have anything to do with food! Their is an emotional eating and that could cause the over eater!
Funny!!,,,, i was just saying (thinking),,,, as a Italian-American female,,,, i can Totally understand this girl,, :) and i say girl because Italians don't age like other people. and Boom!,, we are the Exact Same Age,,,
@@glendablackburn2828 Oh, I didn't realize that. Now that I think about it, I don't remember hearing anything about the current wife even being at the hospital during Eddie's last days. Good lord, I hope she was.
@@janeward722 she was . The last several weeks of Eddie's life Eddie's wife was there. I realize they were having problems however Janie is the wife of Eddie. I just think Valerie is unconsciously not showing janie ( widow) very little respect.

That toe seems tasteless
This is a man that she spent more than half her life with and they still loved each other in a different way right until the end. Of course she’s mourning this way. Not all ex’s have to hate each other. 🤡
I'm very gratified to see that she does at least have some remorse for having profited from the diet industry, which maligns women, and is a multi-billion dollar enterprise.

So weird she has a lot of Eddie’s mannerisms and speech infections. 🤔 I don’t know why she’s so down on herself. She started out a television star and she was smoking hot. Married a Rockstar, gave birth to a rockstar , has gangs of money, What is there to be self conscious about really? 😂 She’s still awesome. Get over your bad self Val. You’re forever smoldering!

Excellent interview. Love how candid and “real” Val is. She’s beautiful inside and out. I’m a huge Van Halen fan and have Wolfie’s signed CD. 🎸🥰❤️
Valerie is down to earth and so kind. Love her❤
Great book thus far. Just started last night.She looks great regardless of weight
@KarenHolland Same here but am trying to finish "Losing It"going to see if I can read both at the same time.
@@marileejones2908 Get tissues ready. It'll make you 😢
@@1970karenleah still want to keep reading it. Valerie is my role model besides. Ted and Donna Jones, and Kelly Clarkson.

I love her soo much ever since One Day at a Time. I grew up watching her. She is soo incredibly sweet and beautiful person.
I loved them together 💕
Great interview!! We love who we “really love” all of our lives!! It’s all good!! Hope to read the book soon!❤️🌹
Love and respect you Valerie ❤️

she keeps trashing her ex in the news media. The poor guy can't answer back
@@kevinkenna no she didn’t.

I’ve read all of her books and “Enough Already” is my favorite so far! A definite good read 😍
I respect her feelings about Ed. They spent a lot of years together under addiction which ripped them apart
Valerie is beautiful inside and out. Eddie is a guitar legend and Wolfie has amazing musical talent. I believe Valerie and Eddie were soulmates regardless of the struggles they went through.
she is disrespectful to the wife of EVH

The first few pages are very interesting and it's going to be another great book.

Valerie has a kind heart like ed and wolfgang has also.

The comments are too much... It seems like each one is about THEIR life, but using her as a buffer.
I am sure eddies wife is sick of her going on and on about their love
Yes, I wonder how Janie and Tom feel about this as they were also long time spouses. A tad hurtful?
I dont think she minds. She knows their history and that they have a son together. Janie and Eddie were separated when he passed away and she moved out. Valerie said Eddie lived alone the last two years of his life.
@angelwingstn3392 really? I didn't know that. Well his widow is financially set for life.

He was alone in his house during the last year? Where was Janie?🤔
That doesn't surprise me. That he was separated when he died. This is common. Men dying from loneliness .Eddie was so cute and talented.
Since Eddie died she is being interviewed everywhere you look. Enough of her talking about her ex
Everyone has regrets!!!!
Valerie has written a book or two about struggling with her weight. It's my impression this book is more about her love for Eddie!!!.

Why is that? Shes been divorced for years from Ed. Heard he was having a affair ,was it with Val? Lol. So much unanswered questions
@@voughn4507 I didn't get the affair part????.
Mildred Webster maybe just a rumour i heard on a different channel. I doudt it as he was sick when his wife left him.

This guy looks way older than Val and he is mentioning the mags she n Ed were in when he was young...ok🤔
Geoff Edgers was born in 1970.
Who cares?
So weird she has a lot of Eddie’s mannerisms and speech infections. 🤔 I don’t know why she’s so down on herself. She started out a television star and she was smoking hot.
