Valerie Bertinelli is entering a new era.
On her 65th birthday, the actress reflected on the challenges she's faced in recent years while sharing several photos and videos of herself. Among them: a makeup-free mirror selfie showing herself posing in a black bra and black and white underwear.
"Went through it all in the last handful of years," the Hot in Cleveland alum, who first posted the image in 2024, wrote in her April 23 Instagram post, "and I’m so grateful for the downs as much as I am for all of the ups I am blessed to experience."
Valerie continued, "The light at the end of the tunnel is finally here. I can see it. I feel it. I love my family. I love my friends. I love all of you out there supporting me and being a part of our community here. I am one lucky and grateful mofo. XOXO."
Valerie received a slew of well-wishes as well as compliments on her post, including from Sammy Hagar, a former frontman of her late ex-husband Eddie Van Halen's band Van Halen. "Happy birthday," the 77-year-old commented. "Valerie you look marvelous."
The One Day at a Time alum, who also included in her post photos with son Wolfgang "Wolfie" Van Halen, 34, shared her birthday message more than a month after going through a breakup.
In early March, Valerie confirmed that she and Mike Goodnough, her boyfriend of about a year, had called it quits.
"I know I am becoming a much stronger and more benevolent human for having met him and spent time with him," Valerie wrote on Instagram at the time. "I look at life with a different perspective and caring because of my experiences and conversations with him."
Valerie's candid post came months after she first posted her underwear selfie, which she combined with a body-positive message.
“At some point I will talk about the madness my body has been through this year," she captioned the pic, which she shared in December. "But right now every lump bump wrinkle and saggy part of me just feels acceptance and simple appreciation to be standing in front of a mirror in a hotel bathroom in downtown Manhattan ready to color my roots late on a Monday night.”

She added, " I know my body is still readjusting, but whatever shape it ends up in I am just grateful for all that it did and continues to do.
