Valerie Bertinelli files for legal separation from husband Tom Vitale: report
The Food Network star was previously married to Eddie Van Halen from 1981 to 2007
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Valerie Bertinelli is calling it quits on her second marriage, as she has reportedly filed for legal separation from her husband, Tom Vitale.
The Food Network star, 61, filed court documents in Los Angeles on Wednesday, officially asking that a judge put an end to their marriage, which nearly lasted a decade.
Bertinelli and Vitale tied the knot on New Year’s Day in 2011. However, the sparks appeared to have fizzled, as she listed "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split, according to TMZ.

They don’t share any children together.
