Valerie Bertinelli and Kelly Clarkson bond over their divorces.

2022 was a tough year for both Valerie Bertinelli and Kelly Clarkson. Bertinelli revealed in 2022 that she had divorced Tom Vitale after 11 years of marriage. Meanwhile, Kelly Clarkson had settled her divorce that same year (Clarkson filed for divorce in 2020).

Bertinelli visited Clarkson on her show on April 4th and gushed about how far they've come since that grueling period in their lives. Clarkson said that while that period was hard, it meant a fresh new start for the two women. Valerie Bertinelli revealed that Clarkson's album "Chemistry," really resonated with her. "I’m like, ‘Has she been in the room with me the entire time?’ Like, every flipping song, like, ‘Me,’ ‘Mine,’ Red Flag Collector." 
In 2023, Clarkson mentioned that her album was "definitely the arc of an entire relationship. And a whole relationship shouldn't be just brought down to one thing. So, there's the good, the bad, and the ugly kind of thing going on in it."

Clarkson's album "Chemistry" is 100% relatable! I went through a horrible ending in January of 2023. Around that same time, "Me," and "Mine" were released. I felt the same as Bertinelli. I literally thought Kelly Clarkson had been following my journey and wrote exactly what I was feeling. "Chemistry," as an album, is a piece of art. It paints love, pain, healing, rebirth, depression, and strength perfectly. It's poetically beautiful. Clarkson has this gift of resonating with people from the very depths of their souls. She helps the healing process with her music.
Even through I've found love again, I still listen to her album, because it is a reminder of growth. To go from that painful place to a place of rebirth and healing, is a wonderous journey. 

Bertinelli mentioned that she has also found someone special. In fact, homegirl was straight up blushing and gushing about this mystery man! There is life after pain, and sometimes you find the best ever after the worst ever. It happens when you are ready, and when you least expect it. If you are on that journey of healing after a massive heartbreak, I highly recommend you listen to "Chemistry." It's the best album I've ever heard (and I'm a music junkie).
