A Close Mother-Son Bond
That close connection endures. Valerie, with her trademark humor, admits Wolfgang still finds her embarrassingโjust like in his teenage years.
โWhen the eye-rolling stops, Iโm not doing my job,โ she joked.
She proudly accompanied him to the 2024 Oscars, where he performed. Starstruck by the crowd, she couldnโt help gushing aloud. Wolfgang repeatedly reminded her to use her โinside voice.โ
A Loving Mother-in-Law
Valerie adores Wolfgangโs wife, Andraia.
โTheyโre meant to be together. I adore her,โ she shared.
Asked about becoming a grandmother, Valerie said sheโd love thatโsomeday. Still, sheโs not pressuring her son and daughter-in-law. Sheโs content just knowing her son turned out to be a kind, grounded man.
Embracing Her Glow-Up Era
Valerie isnโt just a proud momโsheโs thriving herself. On April 30, 2025, she stunned fans by sharing bikini photos and a video of herself taking a cold plunge in her backyard pool.
Wrapped in a striped towel by a sunset-lit infinity pool, she then revealed a fiery red bikini, confidently smiling as she struck playful poses.
Her caption was refreshingly honest:
โMy pool is 66ยฐ. Along with everything else Iโve been experimenting with, this has helped improve my mood and reduce inflammation.โ
In the accompanying video, she dove into the chilly water and swam toward the camera, radiating joy.
Living Life Authentically
Whether sheโs sharing tender family moments, poking fun at herself, or embracing bold wellness challenges, Valerie Bertinelli continues to inspire. Her warmth, openness, and humor keep fans coming back for more.
She captioned the third slideโa video of her cat enthusiastically enjoying a treatโwith humor:
โTurn sound up for Bubbaโs song of love for @inaba_churu ๐ป.โ
Fans Spot the Resemblance
In the first photo, Wolfgang and a black cat gaze calmly at the camera. Valerieโs caption read,
โMy two favorite boys ๐คซ.โ
The second slide showed Wolfgang gently cradling a white cat outside. Valerie noted,
โHenryโs little moof just kills me ๐น.โ
A Sonโs Lasting Tribute
Wolfgang often honors his father on social media. On Fatherโs Day 2025, he shared a home video from 1994, capturing a joyful moment with his dad and their dog. The caption read:
โHappy Fatherโs Day, Pop. Missing you today and every other day.โ
Another shared memory showed young Wolfgang laughing in his fatherโs lap, with Valerie beside them, all beaming with joy.
