Long Island Medium Theresa Caputo and her husband Larry are the to call it quits.
"After 28 years of marriage, we have decided to legally separate," Theresa and Larry told in a joint statement. "We will always love each other and our two wonderful children. We are united in supporting each other and our family. Please respect our privacy during this time."
According to , Theresa hinted at trouble in the marriage on a recent episode of Long Island Medium.
"We're both not happy and, you know, it's hard to try to work through that…. I don't understand it," she said on the show. "I lay in bed, and I say to myself, 'How did this happen? How did I get here?'"
"I sometimes interpret it as growing apart," Theresa added in the confessional interview. "I've changed and he has changed. It's not easy for me to sit here and to talk about this, to talk about my feelings, to talk about how my marriage is, but you know, things do change."
Long Island Medium premiered on TLC in 2011 and has been on the network for ten seasons. E! also reports that Theresa thinks the show's success has caused a strain on her relationships.
"I love what I do. I wouldn't change a thing. I am so grateful and very blessed, but because of what I do and where I am in my life with my career, every relationship in my life has suffered," Theresa said. "Just getting together with family, you know, just going to lunch. Things are just hard, you know? And just trying to the best that I can."
In March, Theresa revealed to that over the years she suffered from anxiety attacks due to her ability to communicate with the dead. However, Larry told the publication that he never gave up on Theresa throughout these difficult times.
"I just cared for her enough that I wasn't going to let that affect us," Larry said. "I wasn't going to break up with her because she has this issue. I felt like I was her anchor in those moments. It was a pattern and it wouldn't last long, I knew that, so it just a matter of getting through whatever amount of time it took her to go through that anxiety attack."
On social media, it had been several months since Theresa shared a photo of her husband. The most recent pictures of Larry on her page were for his birthday over three months ago on , and earlier this year on Valentine's Day.
The couple's children, Larry Jr. and Victoria, who also appear on the TLC show, have not publicly commented on the separation.
