Did You Know Alex Van Halen Is A Ordained Minister?
Alex Van Halen is a rock god behind the drum kit. However, a little-known fact is that he is an ordained minister. He presided at the second wedding of his brother Eddie Van Halen in 2009 and the second wedding of Valerie Bertinelli, who is now his ex-sister-in-law, in 2011.

Eddie Van Halen’s Second Marriage
Following the divorce from Valerie, both parties went on to remarry; Van Halen married Janie Liszewski in 2009; Janie Liszewski was married to guitar legend Eddie Van Halen for more than ten years before the rocker’s death. Liszewski worked as Van Halen’s publicist before they married at his California home in 2009.
The couple married in June 2009. They celebrated with a private ceremony at 5150 Studio City, California. People reported that Liszewski’s mother walked her down the aisle to one of Van Halen’s songs, “When It’s Love.”
Liszewski’s sister was the maid of honor. Van Halen’s son, Wolfgang, who was 18 at the time, was the best man. Van Halen’s brother, Alex Van Halen, performed the ceremony.
Eddie’s son Wolfgang served as his dad’s best man, while Alex Van Halen, the rock and roll ordained minister, officiated the 20-minute service. This is Eddie’s second wedding. Eddie Van Halen wore flip-flops.
Alex Van Halen Officiated Over Valerie Bertinelli’s Second Wedding
In May 2010, Valerie Bertinelli announced her engagement to financial planner Tom Vitale, whom she had married in 2004. They were married on January 1, 2011, in Malibu, California. Her ex-husband, Eddie Van Halen, and their son, Wolfgang Van Halen, attended the wedding. It sounds a little far out, but Alex Van Halen presided at the second wedding of Valerie Bertinelli, his ex-sister-in-law, in 2011.
What Is Alex Van Halen Up To Now?
Alex has been keeping a pretty low profile up to now. The Eddie Van Halen tribute show fell to pieces in a ball of drama. I can’t blame him for this one, as I heard he tried. Alex is getting ready for another kind of tribute to his younger brother Ed, a book to be released soon.
The title of the upcoming book is “Brothers.” In this intimate recollection, nothing like any rock-and-roll memoir you’ve ever read, Alex Van Halen shares his personal story of family, friendship, music, and life on the road. Maybe Alex will reveal where the whole ordained minister thing came to be.
Van Halen’s new memoir, ‘Brothers,’ due Oct. 22, will tell the story behind one of the closest family partnerships in rock.
