Valerie Bertinelli: Getting Naked

-Valerie Bertinelli has a new memoir on the way!
-Getting Naked is a candid account of Bertinelli’s perspective on insecurity, vulnerability and growing older

The actress, celebrity chef and New York Times bestselling author has penned a new memoir, Getting Naked, about what it’s like to “grow older, love harder and start over,” per the publisher William Morrow. Now 65, Bertinelli is sharing her evolving understanding of self-acceptance and vulnerability.

Getting Naked addresses Bertinelli’s “insecurities that have haunted her for decades,” including body image issues and a persistent need to be perfect — insecurities that a wide range of women can identify with, per the book’s synopsis.

“It’s about the myths we believe when we’re young — about beauty, love, success — and how we carry them until they break us open,” the synopsis reads. “It’s about unlearning the script that says women must please, endure and stay silent.”

“It’s never too late to make peace with yourself,” the synopsis continues, “and to fall madly in love with the perfectly imperfect person you already are.”

Bertinelli says she’s thrilled for her new memoir to come out — and a tad nervous.

“I’m excited if not a little nervous because this book is almost uncomfortably personal,” Bertinelli says. “I’m hoping it reaches the right people so that they can see themselves in it and know that there’s a way through all the challenges we have in our life.”

Getting Naked will hit shelves on March 10, 2026 and is available for preorder now, wherever books are sold.
