Just like David Bowie and Iman, this was one of those TRUE SOULMATE stories. It is a bond that a whole lot of couples do not get to experience, a bond that neither death or divorce can ever erase. And they are all so lucky they got to experience it!
I agree with Wafflesmom forlife in the comments...they are SOULMATES🙏❤...look forward to her book...and congrats to she and Eddie's talented son Wolfgang for his upcoming Grammy Nomination for the song Distance, which he wrote for EVH...God bless 🙏❤
This was his real-wife......... sweet he remarried but ..... she loved him first. ❤ feel sorry for his new wife because she was over shadowed bye Valerie..... nobody really asked how Jani is getting along.
That’s true. I think Eddie and Janie were separated though. Valerie had said Eddie used to invite her over to watch football but she didn’t because she didn’t feel it was right. She regrets not spending more time with him she said he was living well over a year in that big house by himself.
Love Valerie and Eddie’s love strong relationship, they definitely had their downs but their is something deeper and spiritual between them. Thanks for everything Eddie, gone way too soon. You are the superstar and brilliant genius songwriting maestro of Val Halen. 🎸🎵🎶❤️♥️⚜️🫶🏻💎👑📸🌟😍😘🥰🤩✨
@@tw7525 I have a feeling there is a lot more to this story than we know. I have been a fan of Valerie forever and she always seemed like a kind and considerate person. I can’t imagine her discounting Eddie’s wife unless there may be a reason. I’ve heard that both of their marriages were on the rocks prior to his death. Maybe Val knows something about Eddie’s marriage that caused her to disregard his wife. I just think there must be more to the story.
If you all listened to the whole video Valerie states that loosing Ed and grieving the loss of him was not the reason that her and her second husband split up. Try listening to the whole thing
They went so well together. Looks, personality. Their story is sad. I can relate. But I do have to wonder what his second wife thinks of all this publicity. Kinda feel bad for her. She was the sloppy second that no one cares about.
@@ilovemickyandhelove1 I think so too. Valerie had said she regrets not spending more time with him because he’d invite her over to watch football and she’d decline because she felt it wasn’t right. But she said she hated seeing him living in that big house all by himself so I think Eddie abs his wife were separated. Valerie said her abs Eddie would talk about their struggling marriages. So sad the love was still there abs I’m sure their significant others knew it.
She left Eddie, he didn’t leave her and left when he had cancer remission. Now, suddenly she’s his soulmate and never mentions his present wife who he was married too for 9 years . Since Eddie passed she has completely humiliated her husband and Eddie’s wife. Bye Felicia
Part of her grief process might be to have romanticized her marriage to Eddie Van Halen. I read a book of hers years ago and she detailed how often he was drunk or on drugs and that she wasn't happy for much of that marriage so to me, she must be romanticizing their past. It's quite common in order for people to cope with loss or things they can't change.
@@katjames7601 So true. I think he was her first love but his first love was drugs and alcohol. She was married to him for a long time and put up with a lot. She remarried for love and a peaceful normal life. You can’t change people you love but you can change your situation. That is what she finally had to do with great hurt and sorrow. She finally had enough of the roller coaster life with him. He was never there for her or their son. He was in his own selfish world with his first love.
@@marieb132 I can't go so far as to say he wasn't there for them because I can't know that. You have to remember she married a very popular band member who was regularly touring when she met him. It's not like he falsely represented the life he led. WE as women are responsible for the choices we make and if we settle and stay too long, it's not our partners fault.
He isn't her Soulmate. Soulmates are people who are together, stay together, and Love each other. She divorced him. She's just feeling badly because he's gone. She hated his lifestyle, and couldn't take it anymore, which I can understand....but she's wrong in calling him her soulmate.
Eddie wasn't her Soulmate. Soulmates stay together after they take a vow of through thick and thin, and she divorced him, because she didn't like his lifestyle. Whelp, you knew what his lifestyle was, so you shouldn't have been surprised. In her previous book, she mentioned how unhappy they were, fighting, etc., he dies, she's heart-broken, and now all of a sudden she calls him her soulmate. She clearly doesn't know the meaning of the word. If he was truly your soulmate, you both would have gone to counseling, fixed it, and stayed together until his death, so don't loosely throw that word around to fit your feelings now after he's gone.
People do look back on their lives and realize that they made mistakes in life. Edward even told her he did too and that he was sorry that he put her through so much hell while they were married.Valerie didn’t say she hated Edward but hated the addiction. No one is perfect. They both tried to move on with their lives.
As much as I like Valerie. This is very disrespectful to his actual widow and Valerie's husband. Which I would be willing to bet money played a huge part in their separation. Everyone, including Valerie seems to forget that she herself talked about how unhappy she was in her marriage with Eddie. He had issues with drugs and alcohol and she talked about the heartbreak of finding he cheated. But I mean how did you not know it? Sure Eddie was a very nice guy. But met him twice back in the day and he was with Valerie but the girls he was with at the show were not Valerie. If she loved him that much then she would have stayed with him. And they certainly should not be compared to Iman and David Bowie. They had a long and happy marriage and she was his widow. That is a soul mate. Funny how she divorced him and then rarely spoke of him. Even with cancer she didn't say much. But the minute he passes she carries on as if she were the window. But Eddie left behind a window. Her name was Janie and they were married since 2009 and is probably the person who was there 24/7 during his cancer. Valerie needs to stop acting like they were still married and acting like he felt the same. She was unhappy with Eddie and they divorced. She certainly had the right to mourne his passing though. But I don't get throwing away a good marriage to a good man for one you were miserable with when you had him.
Edward went to Valerie’s house a year before he died ( I think it was on Thanksgiving day)and talked about being sorry for acting like he did during their marriage. He also gave her a gold necklace I think it was that he bought her while he was in Germany getting some of his treatments. Also she and Wolfgang went to Edward’s house/ hospital during his illnesses. Janie knew deep down she was always 2nd to Valerie even though they were married.
@@gigitonsvajv ...and you know this how?? Were you pals with Eddie? Did he personally tell you Valerie was always his first love. Or are you basing it on what she said?
@@sburris65 she said it. Why are you calling her a liar? Did you know Edward personally? Do you know Valerie personally? Why are so bitter about this? As far as Janie goes that’s the vibe that I got from her.
@@gigitonsvajv ..oh ok..so here we go..she said it..Eddie didn't. The woman hardly spoke about him after their divorce. But the minute he passes and isn't here to tell his side of it, she carries on like she is a widow. And why would she do it?? Really?? The attention. Have you seen how all of a sudden she is all over the place. Hopefully someday someone will treat you like this so you will understand how disrespectful it is.
@@sburris65 .... oh ok so here we go nothing. Lady get over yourself. You aren’t the official spokesperson for their family. Valerie is a more vocal and open person. Edward was immensely private. I’m not getting into a sparring session with you. You do you and I’ll do me.
This book is a result of Valerie's life and a source of income. As far as this podcast for a promotion of her book is putting to much emphasis on soul-mate. They were not soul-mates because if they were they would of stayed married and his other wife wouldn't of been there in his days. Marriage is sacred and has vows that say a promise. Unfortunately divorce is on the other side of the coin. Nowadays probably more than ever,is sensitive to commitment that leads to to marriage is being destroyed by people's own rules
Eddie Van Halen's music was a big part of my teen years and well into my 20's, 30's . I STILL LISTEN TO VAN HALEN MUSIC. Rest in Peace Eddie.
Valerie has always been honest and real! Love her! 😍
I am 58.To me they WERE the Royal Couple of Rock.I grew up watching her and loved VH!!!❤You go Valerie!!You do u!!🎸🕊
I'm the same age as you @Laura Roberts and I feel the same way. To me he was the king and she the queen.
I wish her and their son the best life going forward. Love
Valerie and Ed had a special love all the way till the end of Eddie's life and beyond God bless her she's a good person
They were the perfect couple.
I think she is amazing They were amazing together and had a great son You do you girl and just be happy ❤️
As a guitarist, my Superman is dead 😭! RIP Eddie 💕
can hardly wait to read her book one classy fun lady a great video
I can't picture Valerie & Eddie with other people ❤️
( I know they both remarried)
She shines brighter than she will ever know!!

He was her true love.

I hope this isn’t the reason she’s separated from her second husband though. That would be so sad.
I wouldn’t be surprised. 🤔 People grieve in different ways but you have to be careful. Little rude to her husband.
Not to mention Eddie’s wife of 11 years.
@@autumnleaf1439 Wow! disrespectful..........

I am assuming, they were living apart from each other, which would explain why Eddie left the house he and Janie lived in and his ashes to wolfie.

Huh...isn't she married again? Kind of insulting to her current
husband.

Eddie & Janie were together for 14 years and married for 11.
He had a wife, who greived more, the more she talks about him the less I like her, which isn't saying much I never liked her, she's milking 🐄 this....
How can he be her soul mate when she is married to someone else?

Every love is different usually the first loves are soulmate loves and love later in life is more for companionship

I so agree. I said almost the same thing then read your post. She hardly mentioned him after their divorce. Now she wants to be the grieving widow.

Is that what helped her get separated from her current husband?
Didn't she do an interview about this very topic before??? Oh I know, she has a book coming out.
