VAN HALEN AND BERTINELLI HAD AFFAIRS

Rock icon Eddie Van Halen's ex-wife Valerie Bertinelli has broken her silence on the couple's divorce, admitting they split because they were both unfaithful to each other. Van Halen and actress Bertinelli's divorce was finalized in December after a very long marriage that lasted 26 years. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey set to air on February 25th, Bertinelli acknowledges that both she and guitar hero Van Halen are to blame for the marriage breakdown. The 47-year-old says, "I cheated. He claims to this day that I cheated first, but I don't know. I don't know about the timing." The couple has a son, 16-year-old Wolfgang, who is currently on the road with his father's reunited band, Van Halen, having replaced original bassist Michael Anthony.
