Congratulations are in order for Wolfgang Van Halen and Andraia Allsop, who are now engaged!
The 31-year-old son of Valerie Bertinelli and the late Eddie Van Halen took to Instagram to announce the exciting news. “She said yes!!” he captioned a smiling photo alongside his new fiancée, whom he has been dating since 2015. A sparkling ring is seen on Allsop’s hand, which she is sweetly resting on Wolf’s face.
Allsop is a software engineer, according to her private social media, but is also a photographer and often shares onstage photos of Wolf to her photography Instagram page.
“So happy!!!” Bertinelli replied to the post on Twitter, adding, “It’s nice to have some good news in this godforsaken world.”
The engagement comes just two months before Wolfgang is set to fly to London, where he will be taking part in a tribute show for the late Taylor Hawkins at Wembley Stadium on September 3.
