Valerie Bertinelli Throws Birthday Tribute In Hilarious Onstage Moment With Son Wolfgang Van Halen

Wolfgang Van Halen, also known as Wolfie, turned 34 on Sunday, March 16, and his mother, actress and television personality Valerie Bertinelli, marked the occasion with a lighthearted Instagram post. The 64-year-old actress, whose relationship with her son has been close, took a moment to honor him in a way that reflected their affectionate and lighthearted relationship.

Wolfgang, the sole child of Bertinelli and the late rock icon Eddie Van Halen, took after his father to become a skilled musician. As the lead singer of Mammoth WVH, the group he started in 2020, he has made a name for himself in the world of rock music. His mother has been his biggest fan, always voicing her tremendous pride in what he has accomplished.

To celebrate Wolfgang’s birthday, Bertinelli uploaded a lighthearted video of the two of them on an otherwise empty stage. In the video, she was standing behind a keyboard as her son encouraged her to press a particular key. The exchange turned into a sweet interaction when Bertinelli, obviously laughing with amusement, said she loved her son and laughed.

Wolfgang, capturing the moment on film, affectionately responded with love too. Bertinelli captioned the post with a heartfelt birthday greeting, displaying her affection for Wolfie while humorously acknowledging that she wouldn’t be joining his band any time soon.
