So does he replace her with Sammy Hagar as well?

Eddie Van Halen And His Actress Wife Valerie Bertinelli Have Split
Dutch-born rocker Eddie Van Halen and his actress-wife of 21 years, Valerie Bertinelli, separated several months ago but have no plans at the moment to seek a divorce, her publicist said on Tuesday.
The 47-year-old guitarist, who disclosed a year ago that he was undergoing treatment for cancer, split from Bertinelli, 42, in October 2001, according to a spokeswoman for the actress, Heidi Schaeffer.
She declined to give further details, other than to say the couple’s separation was amicable and that no third party was involved.
Van Halen, who overcame a highly publicized battle with alcohol dependence in the late 1990s, has an 11-year-old son with Bertinelli.
“Because they’re the parents of a young son, they’ve requested that their family’s privacy be respected at this time,” Schaeffer said.
Van Halen, regarded as one of the most influential guitarists in the history of rock music, married Bertinelli in 1981. She is perhaps best known for her role on the 1970s television sitcom “One Day at a Time.”
