Wolfgang Van Halen Admits Oscars Prep Was More Stressful than His Wedding
“I think it was more stressful getting ready today.”
Wolfgang Van Halen found getting ready for the star-studded 96th Academy Awards more stressful than his own wedding.
Van Halen performed the hit Barbie anthem ‘I’m Just Ken’ on stage at the prestigious award show alongside Barbie star Ryan Gosling, who was also nominated for an Oscar for his performance in the movie, and his fellow guitarist Slash. The song itself was nominated for Best Original Song.
But before Van Halen took the stage, he and his wife, Andraia Allsop, had a brief conversation with People Magazine. The former compared getting ready for the Oscars to getting married and said that prepping for the Oscars was more stressful.
Allsop was the first to speak. She mentioned that the lead-up to Hollywood’s biggest night felt like she and Wolfgang were getting ready for their wedding. She stated, “It actually felt like we were getting ready for our wedding today.”

Her musician husband laughingly agreed with his wife’s statement and mentioned that getting ready for the Academy Awards was more stressful. His statement read, “I think it was more stressful getting ready today.”
The Mammoth WVH frontman later described attending the 96th Academy Awards as a magical night and that he was happy to be there. He stated, “It’s a magical night. I’m happy to be here, very happy to be part of this and support my buddy Mark.”
Van Halen’s mother, Valerie Bertinelli, also attended the prestigious award show with the musician and his wife. On the red carpet, Bertinelli expressed her pride and excitement about her son’s Oscars moment.
Bertinelli stated, “I’m excited! I’m here to support Wolfie, the Barbie movie, because Wolfie’s all throughout it. He did a lot of work with [soundtrack producer] Mark [Ronson] for two days, and I’m really proud of him so I want to support him.”
“And the movie was kickass, so we’re just going to say that. It’s so fun because I watch the movie and I hear Wolfie all throughout the chase scene, I hear Wolfie all throughout the Ken fight scene, and it’s just like, ‘That’s my boy!'” she concluded her statement.
During the same event, Van Halen and his wife were also asked about their relationship. In reply, the musician mentioned that things have been the same between them, which is good because “it shouldn’t be any different if you find the right person.”
Coming over to the duo’s wedding, which, as per Van Halen, wasn’t as stressful enough as the Oscars, they walked down the aisle and shared the wedding vows in a small and intimate wedding ceremony held at their Los Angeles residence in front of 90 guests.
To elaborate on their relationship, Van Halen and Allsop officially began dating on October 15, 2015. They first connected via Instagram, where the musician slid into her DMs. They started talking, exchanged phone numbers, and eventually began dating.

After being in a romantic relationship for over six years, he finally decided to take their relationship to a new level and proposed to her. She said yes, and they got engaged. He shared the news of their engagement on July 6, 2022, via his Instagram handle.
Finally, on October 25, 2023, exactly eight years after they officially started dating, Van Halen and Allsop walked down the aisle and shared their wedding vows. As mentioned earlier, the ceremony was intimate and only attended by 90 close ones.
The now-married couple’s wedding ceremony took place inside their living room, where they could “have privacy and just have our moment together with everyone.” Afterward, the reception was held outside in the backyard with string lights and flowers.
Allsop stated, “Our goal was just to bring all of our closest family and friends together. The past few years, not only with the world, but also with personal tragedies, haven’t been the easiest, but we wanted to create this wedding as a celebration not only just for us to get married but a celebration for the people we love.”
As for the wedding dress, the 32-year-old California native donned a custom three-piece black suit. On the other hand, the bride looked beautiful in an Eva Lendel dress featuring a V-neck and sheer long sleeves with lace detail.

After watching all the cute pictures of Sean and Catherine Lowe, one Instagram user commented, “All these birthday/anniversary celebration posts made me watch your season. Again! You both don’t look old enough to be married 10 years. Was this a surprise bday/anniv gift?”
Catherine decided to reply to the fan and answer the last question about whether the vacation was Catherine’s birthday gift — she turned 38 on April 29, 2024 — or if it was their wedding anniversary gift.
She revealed that it was their anniversary gift from her husband. She also stated that Sean had surprised her with this trip on their actual wedding anniversary and had managed everything, including asking his parents to watch their children.

Like Sean managed the whole vacation in Mexico, Catherine did the same, including asking their family member to take care of their three children. Catherine later posted the whole experience, where she mentioned that Sean had been wanting to see Oppenheimer.
“I was so excited to surprise this old man,” she captioned the video shared on Instagram. To conclude, Catherine and Sean have gone to some limits to make their 10th wedding anniversary a moment to remember for a lifetime.

On Thursday, May 2, 2024, the YouTube star took to her Instagram handle to share the tragic news of her brother’s death. She announced the unfortunate news via her story, keeping most of the details private.
She mentioned that her brother was killed, and she didn’t know how to tell this news to her fans and well-wishers or if she should have kept the entire news off the internet. But as she always expressed herself to her well-wishers, she decided to reveal her brother’s death.
As she continued her statement, she stated that she would be taking some time off the internet to mourn her brother’s death. Additionally, she clarified that anything that would be posted on her social media and YouTube channel had already been filmed before.

As of this writing, it has been reported her brother, Jairyn, was shot. As per Cincinnati Enquirer, who got the details from Springfield Township police, Jairyn was shot on Thursday afternoon in the 2000 block of Springdale Road.
At approximately 1:35 p.m., police officials were informed of a person shot inside their vehicle. When officials arrived at the location, they found Jairyn, a 30-year-old Lincoln Heights native, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Jairyn was immediately taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was ultimately pronounced dead. It has been reported that the Springfield Township Police Department Criminal Investigations Section is currently investigating the incident.
As of this writing, no information regarding a suspect has been released. For now, this incident has been labeled a homicide, and the authorities are reportedly working to find the culprit.
Anyone with any information has been asked to call the Springfield Township Police Department at 513-729-1300 or Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040.
Returning to Quen, her well-wishers have expressed their condolences in her comment section and Reddit threads. For instance, one wrote, “Rest in peace!! Sending so much love and prayers to her and the rest of her family!!” Another wrote, “Hope he gets justice.”
Likewise, in a Reddit thread, one Redditor commented, “Wtf. I hope her and her family are able to heal from this and get justice. I didn’t even know she had any siblings. Her mental health wasn’t all too great, so I’m really wishing her the best through all this.”
As the Reddit user pointed out, Quen hadn’t talked about her now-late brother, Jairyn Blackwell. Besides, not many even knew she had a brother. So, it’s safe to say that the YouTuber wanted to maintain privacy around her family life.
As Quen and her family deal with the unfortunate passing of their family member, we must also respect their privacy and let them have a moment of peace. Glamour Buff family wishes only the best for the Blackwell family.
