  "summary": "Valerie Bertinelli, the ex-wife of the late Eddie Van Halen, has responded to haters who criticized her for loving her ex-husband in a post on Instagram. Bertinelli, who was married to Van Halen for 26 years, shared a photo of herself and her late husband, captioning it, \"Photos may fade, like old photos do, but not the memories and never the love.\" She later released a video message addressing the negative comments she received, stating that she no longer lets the criticism bother her. Bertinelli emphasized that her love for Eddie, her son Wolfgang, and other people in her life is unshakeable, and that she believes her heart can hold a lot of love without diluting her feelings for any one person.",
