“No, still not nagging, but they know,” she exclusively told PEOPLE about Van Halen and his wife. “Drea is very cute. She says, ‘Well, he has to actually be home for a little while.’ And he’s not. The success of this third album has been so spectacular and he’s taking advantage of it.”

She added, “I just FaceTimed with them last night because she’s out on the road with him and not all the time because she does have a job, but they always call to FaceTime so they can see the kitties because Wolf and Dre have really missed their kitties very much and I’m taking care of them.”

Bertinelli shared that her son is “committed” to his cats and because of this, he and his wife are “going to be the best parents.”

The actress welcomed Wolfgang in 1991 with then-husband Eddie Van Halen. While she and Eddie divorced in 2007, she maintained a close relationship with her son.

“Besides the fact that he is ridiculously talented, I’m most proud of his kindness and thoughtfulness,” she told PEOPLE during a joint interview with Wolfgang in June 2021. “I think we both like to find humor in the absurd. This world is a seriously crazy place and it’s easier to get through it by finding it funny and absurd. Sometimes laughing is better than crying.”

Wolfgang added, “My girlfriend and I pretty much go over to my mom’s house every day to see her and play with her cats that we love.”

“I think a lot of people don’t understand how sarcastic our relationship is,” he continued. “One time, she burnt onion rings. And it’s like, she has a cooking show, so I just made fun of her for it. I asked her if I could post it. We get in GIF battles all the time on Twitter. Sarcasm is a language, And that’s how we communicate!”
