Valerie Bertinelli filed for divorce from husband Tom Vitale on Thursday.

"I just don't feel like I've ever been loved like that, in that way, from anybody else," she shared of her late ex-husband. "I just feel a connection with Ed that I've never really felt with anyone else." ?

While the actress wrote at length of her first marriage, stories involving her second husband, Vitale, are scarce?

"I tried to be really sensitive to Tom and (Van Halen's wife until his death, Janie Liszewski) because they're private people, and I don't want to tell their story," Bertinelli said. "I was just trying to tell the story between me and Ed without being hurtful.".

"I don't know what will happen, but right now I just need to be alone."
