Entertainment Weekly reported that Bertinelli appeared on the October 24 episode of Drew Barrymore's talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show. While filming the episode, the actresses touched on Ben Stiller sharing he feared he "was failing" during his temporary separation from his wife, Christine Taylor.
"I don't like to think of my two marriages as having failed, necessarily, but just… I don't know. We grew, we didn't work … what happened I don't know, but I don't feel like it was a failure because there were many years there that were so happy," said Bertinelli, who married Vitale in 2011.
"We were so young. I was 20 when we got married. But I just can't think of it as a failure, because I still have deep love for the man even though he's not here," said Bertinelli, in reference to Van Halen's 2020 death.
"I know people get that all confused when I say soulmates and everything. It wasn't romantic love any longer, it was just a deep love for a soul that I adored. And he was a good man," said Bertinelli while on The Drew Barrymore Show.
