Valerie Bertinelli has disclosed her true feelings about returning to the dating scene.

The Food Network star uploaded a video where she dropped her response whenever someone asks if she plans to "start dating again soon." The actress seems disinterested in finding a new man after her most recent divorce from Tom Vitale, whom she has repeatedly called a "narcissist." She was previously married to first from Eddie Van Halen, with whom she shares a son, Wolfgang.

Valerie Bertinelli Has Zero Interest In Returning To The Dating Pool

Although it has been six months since her divorce from Vitale was finalized, Bertinelli is not ready to return to dating. The Delaware-born star conveyed the update in a TikTok video, quoting BoyWithUke's 2021 tune, "Two Moons," during the weekend.

The words, "When someone asks if I'll start dating soon," covered some parts of the clip as the 63-year-old paused for a beat before passionately lip-synching, "Yeah, f**k no." The reel, which earned over 93k likes since she posted it on Sunday, also ignited a reaction in the comment section.

Enjoy your life Valerie! F**k these men," one fan encouraged her, as another wrote, "D. I. T. T. O. 😂😂😂." A third commenter claimed that they "couldn't agree more," and a fourth jokingly asked, "Sooooo you're saying there's a chance?"

A fifth person exclaimed, "FREEDOM!!," a sixth declared that they liked "this video 😂," and many others either dropped the laughing emoji or agreed with Bertinelli's sentiments. The "One Day at a Time" alum's post comes some months after she opted to give her followers a message of hope in March.

As reported by The Blast, she uploaded a reel of herself sporting a brown wool jacket, a black blouse, a burgundy beanie, and funky sunglasses as she strolled through some greenery, telling viewers it was "such a freaking beautiful day."

She proved her point by panning her camera upward, highlighting how "beautiful that blue sky is." After claiming that life was "great," the Golden Globe Awards winner stated:

"No matter how bad the storm is, when that blue sky comes out and you kind of break through the crap, it's so beautiful, it's just so beautiful, and it almost makes the storm worth it."

"Yeah, the storm is worth it. Because you learn so much, and then you come out the other side, and you're like, 'Hey, I'm my knight in shining armor. I got through it,'" Bertinelli continued. To wrap up the candid one-sided conversation, she disclosed:

"You get through one hundred percent of the days you never think you're gonna get through, right, think about that.'"

In a second update, the mother-of-one said she would "take all the bad and sh*t year" that she experienced last year because this year "feels like it's gonna be my best year."

The Daytime Emmy Awards Winner Learned To Love Herself Just Before Her 63rd Birthday

Even though the "Murder of Innocence" star never imagined that her second marriage would crumble the way it did, she has remained committed to her healing journey. She addressed her progress in a video she shared in February, wearing a black-and-white striped garment and black-rimmed glasses. 

The footage, which began with the flash of the words "healing after living thru h*ll," saw the "Touched by an Angel" actress lip-syncing "Pass or Smash" in the background. She passed on her former feelings of "fear, self-doubt, and shame" as they flashed on the screen and grinned as "truly loving myself for the first time at 62" popped up.

Without hesitation, Bertinelli agreed that she would smash the last option, invariably making that word the caption for the Instagram post. In response to the update, one fan dubbed the former "Hot in Cleveland" star an "inspirational bada**," and another noted that as a fellow mother, she wished her children would be like the "Valerie's Home Cooking" host when they grew up.

A third person gushed, "Strong. Confident. Able to fully accept and grow from the hardest times. So freaking honored to watch you on this journey." "I just adore you and I cannot wait to see all your instagrams. I'm so happy for you that you've found peace for yourself," a fourth fan stated.
