Who is Theresa Caputo's former husband Larry? Here's what 'Long Island Medium' star's ex is doing now
"Behind every great man is a great woman" is a saying that everyone keeps hearing at various points in life, however, there are a number of instances where the roles are reversed. One such case is that of Theresa Caputo who is also known as a Long Island Medium, a psychic medium with an ability to communicate with the dead. She is a brand in itself and has sold out a number of tours countrywide over the years, the sage kits on her website have sold out too, TLC even gave her a show some 11 years ago but she was famous even before she started appearing on it. The waitlist for people to get a reading from her has always been too long, some even getting an appointment two years from the day they signed up. To think that Theresa was solely responsible for her success would be incorrect because the Long Island Medium as she's referred to has herself been very open about her husband being there for her "through thick and thin".
