AceShowbiz - On "The Drew Barrymore Show", Valerie Bertinelli and Drew Barrymore discussed their experiences with failed marriages. Barrymore expressed that she's not afraid of marriage itself, but of the judgment and shame it entails. Bertinelli, who has been married twice, acknowledged the impact of societal stigma and the importance of releasing shame to move forward.

During her healing journey from her recent divorce, Bertinelli realized the need to focus on her own well-being and self-love. She emphasized that finding joy and contentment within oneself comes before seeking it in others.

Bertinelli is now in a relationship with Mike Goodnough, with whom she recently made her red carpet debut. She credits her happiness to "cooking again" and finding purpose in her work as a lifestyle expert on "The Drew Barrymore Show".

Following the end of her second marriage, Bertinelli rediscovered her passion for cooking, which she shares in her latest cookbook, "Indulge". Through writing her memoir, "Enough Already: Learning to Love the Way I Am Today", she found catharsis in processing her grief over Eddie Van Halen's death.

Despite their divorce in 2007, Bertinelli and Van Halen remained close until his passing in 2020. She reflected on the deep love and connection they shared, which she believes she will never experience with anyone else.
