Valerie Bertinelli Admits She's 'Grateful For The Love & Support Of Family' After Finalizing Nasty Divorce From Tom Vitale

Valerie Bertinelli was more than happy to celebrate Christmas as a newly single woman, following her $2.2 million divorce settlement from ex-husband Tom Vitale.

On Sunday, December 25, the One Day at a Time star took to Instagram to reflect on 2022 and thanked all of the people in her life who made the year as special as it was.

"Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄 As we end another year, I cannot help but feel grateful for the love and support of my family and loved ones. ✨," Bertinelli wrote in the heartwarming message. "There's nothing quite like spending time with the people who matter most, and I hope you all can do the same this holiday season."

"Let's take a moment to appreciate the special moments we share with our loved ones and the joy and warmth they bring to our lives. 💕," the award-winning-actress — who shares 31-year-old son Wolfgang with late ex-husband Eddie Van Halen — continued.

"Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year! Love, Valerie ☺️," the Hot in Cleveland alum concluded.

Many of Bertinelli's fans flocked to her comments section to share their warm holiday wishes and acknowledge the star's year-long divorce journey between November 2021-2022. The nasty court battle originally began when Bertinelli filed for separation in 2021, causing Vitale to challenge their original prenuptial agreement signed in 2011 — before the estranged duo tied the knot.

"Merry Christmas Valerie! I've been a fan since One Day at a Time. Especially with the kids bake shows. I'm so happy that you're finally happy and can enjoy your journey in life. Don't ever give up and keep going!! ❤🎄," one user wrote in support.
