Valerie Bertinelli isn’t afraid to admit to her clumsiness!

On Friday, Nov. 29, the Food Network alum, 64, shared that she recently suffered a wound from a fall — which, according to her, is a common occurrence.

“I continue to have the knees of a 9 year old because I fall far too often than what is comfortable for someone my actual age,” Bertinelli wrote on her Instagram Stories, sharing a selfie in which she made a silly face and showed off a large bandage placed just below one of her knees.

She did not share any more details about the injury

Bertinelli’s post about her knee injury comes shortly after she opened up about another aspect of her health on social media.

On Sunday, Nov. 17, the former Valerie’s Home Cooking host — who recently split from boyfriend Mike Goodnough after 10 months of dating — revealed in a “scary” and “vulnerable” Instagram post that she had experienced an anxiety attack.

Alongside a video of her hand shaking, the star prefaced her message, writing, “I’ve sat on this post for a day because it’s incredibly vulnerable and that’s always scary to share. But I’m posting because we’re all out here doing our best having a human experience and none of us want to feel like we’re alone in that. 🤍V.”

After a “deep breath,” Bertinelli began by sharing that she suffered a “really bad anxiety attack,” as demonstrated by the clip. She also noted that her “heart is still beating a little rapidly as I write this.”
