What Does Valerie Silverstein Do For a Living?
Valerie Silverstein is a woman with multiple career interests. Before fame came calling, she worked as a hairdresser, Valerie is a businesswoman and an influencer on the internet space.

She Became Andrew Dice Clay’s Wife in 2010
When and where Valerie Silverstein and her ex-spouse, Andrew Dice Clay first crossed paths have never been mentioned, thus, we cannot say much about their dating days. However, everything about their wedding is all in the open. The couple chose Valentine’s Day in 2010 to cement their union in a beautiful wedding.
The 14th of February 2010 saw the romantic duo in Las Vegas exchanging wedding vows which made Valerie Andrew’s wife number three as he was once married to Kathy Swanson (1984-1986) and waitress, Kathleen “Trini” Monica (1992).
When the news of their union broke on the internet space, fans and the general public were quick to point out their age difference of over two decades but the couple seemed unconcerned. Being the type that does not mince words, Andrew described Valerie as “his gift from heaven”. Going further, the controversial comedian let on that their meeting and wedding were orchestrated by God himself who knows they were meant to be together.
The actor cum comedian told the Las Vegas Sun that he has never experienced this kind of feeling before.
The Couple’s Marriage Ran Smoothly For Four Years
While their union lasted, the famous comedian was overly protective of his much younger wife, creating a semblance of a couple living in marital bliss. There was a time when rumors hit the airwaves that Valerie Silverstein earned a living as a porn star but Andrew succeeded in nipping the negative publicity in the bud.
The Blue Jasmine star was quick to refute the speculations, claiming that his wife has never worked as a porn star, but she loves to behave like someone who is familiar with the trade and it is all for his benefit. With that said, the world was shocked in 2014 when the news of their impending divorce started making waves in March.
Everything About Their Divorced Was Finalized in 2014
On the 18th of March 2014, Andrew filed for divorce from his wife at the LA Superior Court but unlike the typical Hollywood divorce, theirs wasn’t at all messy. Speaking on the reasons they chose to end their union after spending only four years as a couple, Andrew revealed the word “marriage’ to be the culprit. According to the comedian, it was putting a lot of pressure on their relationship. The Hollywood star was in an interview session with People when he let this slip.
Their divorce finally became a reality in April 2014 and going by the former couple’s divorce agreement, they didn’t have much to fight over as neither of them possess assets worth over $40,000.
Though he never sired any child with Valerie, Andrew is a father of two (Max and Dylan) from his marriage to Kathleen Monica.
The Circumstances that Led to Their Divorce are a Bit Confusing

The curiosity about their separation and current situation lingered until Andrew surfaced on the set of Conan in 2017 to promote My Kitchen Rules (a show he had been doing with Valerie)
While on the show, Andrew was quick to cut the show host short when he addressed their situation. According to the actor, they were married but not the way people think. Explaining that they actually got divorced, Andrew Dice Clay said they never broke apart – though divorced, they were still together. They have become happier and more in love since they removed the burden of marriage from their relationship.
On the circumstances that led to their separation and divorce, the comedian recalled the fateful day that they took the conscious decision to split. He was outside with Valerie Silverstein on a beautiful day in LA when he caught what he described as a stroke of genius.
“I’ve got a great idea,” Andrew told Valerie “Why don’t we go and get a divorce? And then go get dinner” His spouse who understood him wasted no time in complying and they later went celebrating at an upscale restaurant in West Hollywood.
With that said, it is obvious that the duo had excellent chemistry that has continued to work for them.
