Who would have thought. Valerie Bertinelli and Eddie Van Halen

[Vorian's_Leronica]

are divorcing after 24yrs of marriage.
They've been separated for 4 years now.
I"m shocked, i had no idea they had separated and would never have guessed, they've been married forever.

and why does everyone always file divorce with "irreconcilable differences"? How about some "mental cruelty", "adultery" or "he made me sniff his farts for 20 yrs"
i want dirt, i wanna know why people split up. details people details:D

I heard this when they originally split. Eddie battled throat cancer several yrs ago and after it was in remission he kept up his smoking habit. Valerie tried to get him to quiet and they finally separated because she said she wouldn't stand by while someone killed themselves.

Maybe being apart 4 yrs she finally realized that he wouldn't change. I dunno, its sad.

I knew they separated a while ago, but I didn't realize it was 4 years. WOW.

I'm sad to see them divorce even given the circumstances (if that's why they did split). 24 years is a long time, and unheard of for celebrities.

irreconcilable differences

With no fault divorce, this is what most are filed as, means no one is to blame.

It's sad. 24 years is a long time!

I'm sad about this too......they seemed like one of those celebrity couples that might actually make it all the way!
