Who Is Wolf Van Halen's Wife, Andraia Allsop?
On July 6, 2022, musician Wolf Van Halen shared the happy news of his engagement to his longtime girlfriend, Andraia Allsop. He announced their plans to tie the knot with an Instagram photo which showed the two in a selfie as Allsop proudly wore her engagement ring. Wolf captioned the sweet image with the message, "She said yes!" But, as of October 15, Allsop is no longer just Wolf's fiancée — she's his wife!
In the past, the rocker and son of the late music legend Eddie Van Halen and actor Valerie Bertinelli has been vocal about his love for Allsop. Back in April 2022, as Wolf, Allsop, and Bertinelli attended the Grammys when Wolf received an award nomination for best rock song, he posted a photo of the three together on the red carpet. "I got to have a wonderful night with the two most important women in my world," he wrote on Instagram. In March 2022, Wolf also posted a picture of him and Allsop as a birthday tribute to his love, writing, "You make my life better in every way just by existing." Here's what we know about the special woman who stole Wolf's heart for life.
Andraia Allsop is a software engineer and photographer
Wolf Van Halen and Andraia Allsop have an exciting future ahead of them, as the couple is now officially married after seven years of dating and one year engaged. According to Billboard, the two began their relationship in 2015 and have been going strong ever since. Although she's dating someone in the spotlight Allsop maintains a low profile and keeps her Instagram account private. Her bio, however, reveals that she's a software engineer. A LinknedIn profile under Allsop's name shows that she graduated from the University of Utah in 2016 with a Bachelor's degree in computer science. Prior to her graduation, Allsop started her career as an intern at Instructure, an educational tech organization that's based in Utah, in 2015.
Furthermore, Allsop has an IMDb page that lists an acting credit to her name, as she appeared in a music video for the single by Muscle Hawk, "Electric Light," in 2012. She has also been in nine episodes of her mother-in-law Valerie Bertinelli's reality show, "Valerie's Home Cooking." Allsop additionally has a public Instagram account for her photography, which heavily features images she's captured of Van Halen performing onstage with his band, Mammoth WVH. We can't wait to see more of Van Halen and Allsop as this close couple takes the next step in their flourishing romance!
Andraia Allsop and Wolf Van Halen had a gorgeous wedding
Andraia Allsop and Wolf Van Halen tied the knot on October 15, 2023. According to People, the pair opted to hold their wedding at their California home, but a stunning stained-glass installation definitely infused the event with serious church-wedding vibes. Allsop told the outlet that she foresaw their wedding as a celebration for all of their loved ones.
Based on those gorgeous wedding shots, the bride and groom were having the time of their lives. And while their palpable joy was the best part of the event, Allsop's gorgeous, floor-length wedding gown was also a highlight. "My goal was just to be able to be comfortable throughout the whole day and the whole night," said Allsop. The best part is that she found the dress early in the shopping process. "It was one of the first ones I tried on..." added Allsop. "I kept going back to this one, and that was it."
Ahead of the wedding, Van Halen warned fans that their wedding wouldn't be outrageously over the top. "[There will be] no Kardashian s**t," said the singer during an interview with Beef Vegan (via Rock Celebrities). "It's just people we love and care about to celebrate, you know, getting married." Honestly, those are the best kinds of weddings!
Valerie Bertinelli loves Andraia Allsop
Wolf Van Halen and Andraia Allsop are utterly in love, but the happiest marriages usually include parental support. Fortunately, Wolf's mother, Valerie Bertinelli, also loves Allsop, and we can prove it. Bertinelli gushed about Allsop while speaking about Wolf's father, Eddie Van Halen. "Ed would've been absolutely beaming and so, so proud of the man Wolfie has become and is becoming and so happy that he has found Andraia, someone who really understands Wolfie, who he is and who he wants to be, and supports him wholeheartedly," she told People.
Bertinelli has expressed her approval of Allsop before. In March, Bertinelli took to Instagram to wish her soon-to-be daughter-in-law a happy birthday. "Happy Birthday Sweet Draia! I could not be happier that you are part of our family," wrote the "Hot In Cleveland" star alongside the sweetest Polaroid of Allsop and her son. (Seriously, they may be the cutest couple ever.) Of course, Bertinelli was super emotional after their wedding. The actor has since posted several BTS shots of the ceremony — including the most adorable shot of Wolf's baby photos on her reception table. She's even since dedicated an entire Instagram Story highlight to their wedding.
It's safe to say this is one big, happy family!
