We hope you’re sitting down, fans of Theresa Caputo and Larry Caputo.
Because we have some bad news to share about this long-time couple.
Back in December, we helped break the story that Theresa and Larry were splitting after 28 impressive years of marriage, as the couple itself confirmed as much via a statement to People Magazine.
“We will always love each other and our two wonderful children,” they said toward the end of 2017, adding:
“We are united in supporting each other and our family. Please respect our privacy during this time.”
Shortly after this announcement was made, Larry confided in a friend about how little time he and his wife spent together, citing a “lack of communication” during season finale chat and sadly saying:
“It’s like losing your best friend. It’s hard.”
We’d have to imagine so, yeah.
But there remained hope these two could reconcile, seeing as they had not officially filed for divorce upon revealing their troubled state to the world.
Now, though, that hope has vanished.
“The separation was a three-month trial period and we’ve moved on from that point. We’re in divorce proceedings so that’s been going on for the past six months,” Larry told this TMZ, expounding as follows:
“It’s not finalized. I don’t know when it will be but that’s where we’re at.”
So the couple is not divorced… yet.
But they soon will be divorced.
“I’m doing fine. I know she’s doing well. I’m happy. We’ve moved on with our lives,” Larry concluded in this interview, sounding pretty diplomatic.
However, he came across as a tad more bitter when discussing the romance and why it ended with Radar Online.
Larry told the aforementioned celebrity gossip website that the relationship really started falling apart way back in 2011, not long after Long Island Medium started airing on TLC.
Caputo explains that he had “no idea” what he was getting into at the time, telling Radar it was “exciting and fun in the beginning, but then after the longevity you become more exposed, now it effects your private life.”
“When you’re in the public eye, it does put a strain on your personal life,” Larry says, continuing:
“That can be hard for the average person who is not a trained actor, because a trained actor knows what they’re getting themselves into.
“A reality person doesn’t realize what they’re getting themselves into, until they’re in it and it’s a learning process.”
Long Island Medium wrapped up its latest season in December.
Said Theresa on air during this finale:
“Things at home have been really stressful lately and Larry and I have hit a bump in our relationship. And unfortunately, the truth is we’re considering spending some time apart.
“So, I’ve been trying to get my mind off of things by being more adventurous.”
Larry has actually moved on to a new woman already, concluding to Radar:
“What Theresa does is very demanding, and it was consuming most of her time – which takes away from personal time.
“We’ve grown in different directions.”
