After recently revealing her new role as a lifestyle expert on "The Drew Barrymore Show," actress Valerie Bertinelli has sparked speculation about the possibility of a third marriage. During a segment of the show called "Drew's News," Bertinelli and Barrymore, both of whom have had previous divorces, discussed the topic of re-marrying.
Bertinelli expressed her admiration for "The Big Bang Theory" actress Kaley Cuoco, who recently got engaged to Tom Pelphrey after previously stating she would never marry again. "If I've learned anything at this age, it's never say never," Bertinelli said. However, she did not explicitly commit to the idea of getting married again herself, acknowledging the "shame" associated with divorce.

"I've been married twice and that shame thing … that slapped me in the face," Bertinelli admitted. "Because I think during anybody's life, I think we're slowly from childhood building and adding shame into our soul. And I think the key to feeling beautiful and feeling like you're worthy and feeling like you are enough is to release a lot of that shame."
Bertinelli's previous marriages include a relationship with rocker Eddie Van Halen, which ended in divorce in 2007. She also married financial planner Tom Vitale in 2011, but they separated in 2021 and finalized their divorce a year later. Currently, Bertinelli is dating writer Mike Goodnough, with whom she is in a long-distance relationship.
