Valerie Bertinelli, the actress and cookbook author, has been candid about her struggles and healing journey on social media. She has also been open about her experience with aging.

She shared her honest and humorous thoughts on the changes that come with aging. Her fans have been supportive and empathetic, showing her that she is not alone in her feelings.

Healing from a Divorce

After ten years of marriage, Bertinelli finalized her divorce from Tom Vitale in November 2022. Since then, the actress has shared her healing journey in various videos and interactions with her followers.

Memorably, Bertinelli posted an Instagram video in which she talked about her healing process before sharing that she was questioning herself on why she tolerated the intolerable.

Bertinelli has confessed that she endured a marriage that was tumultuous for her mentally and emotionally in which she was shouted at, shamed, and called fat and lazy. After intimating that she may have been cheated on, her fans can only cheer her on as she enjoys her sixties, finally feeling good and looking the part.

Aging, the 'Mind-blowing' Trip

Amid her endeavor to find psychological and emotional healing, Bertinelli, at 61, dropped her forty-year quest to lose the same 10 lbs., showing that she was gradually settling into her own and loving herself as she was.

In the typical endearing Bertinelli fashion, she took to TikTok on Thursday, November 23, 2023, to share the most honest yet lighthearted video about her experience with aging, being 63.

Despite looking really good for her age, she expressed how hard it has been for her to come to terms with aging, having spent more time being young than old.

Bertinelli talked about dealing with some changes. She can still jog upstairs, but running is a bit harder. A deep squat is still doable, but she needs something to hold onto to stand back up. Sitting in a child's pose, a comfy position for her now feels a bit uncomfortable. She also noticed some body parts sagging slightly, which is new for her.

She laughed out loud as she demonstrated a slightly saggy part of her forearm, asking what the hell it was. She explained that she is having difficulty accepting her aging because, in her mind, she is still a "young-goofy-let's-have-fun girl."

Ending on a half-serious note, she expressed how appreciative she is of her age and how she got there but still found the whole aging experience to be "just mind-blowing." She then asked if anyone else was adjusting to being older after spending so much of their lives being young.

Bertinelli's Fans Offer Their Support and Encouragement

Her adoring and supportive followers voiced their support in the comments, with one replying, "Valerie you are beautiful!! You have always been one of my favorites." Another one added, "And you are still absolutely beautiful!"

Another follower chimed in as one also adjusting to being older with, "I feel you. I sure am. I'm 58 and feeling these struggles 😕 come hang out," while another encouraged her, "You're not alone, aging is definitely an adventure."

Bertinelli has proven to be a talented actress and author and an inspiration to many women who struggle with aging and want to live their best lives.
