Background

Caputo has been on the T.L.C. Reality Show “Long Island Medium” since 2011. She is also the author of two books and tours under “Theresa Caputo Live! The Experience.”

Caputo, who started seeing, sensing, and feeling spirits when she was four, has been a practicing medium for more than 20 years. She accepted her gift as a medium after a therapy session with a spiritual healer and teacher named Pat Longo. Since then, she has toured the country with her live show, published four books (some of which are bestsellers), and has recently started her podcast, “Hey Spirit!,” which was nominated for an Ambie award in the ‘Best Personal Growth Spirituality’ category.

Several people — from television news programs to print publications — have accused her of being a fraud. Caputo was described by D.J. Grothe as a charlatan, and James Randi said her claims were not true. In April 2012, the James Randi Educational Foundation awarded Caputo its Pigasus Award, a tongue-in-cheek award that seeks to expose parapsychological, paranormal, or psychic frauds. The James Randi Education Foundation has been critical of Caputo’s work. A newspaper review of Caputo’s performances at the NYCB Theatre at Westbury in late 2017 concluded: “For me, this unbelievable experience was simply that: not to be believed. In my humble opinion, Caputo is a damn good performer, and she’s got undeniably likable sass and charisma.”

On December 3, 2017, Caputo and her husband, Larry Caputo, jointly announced they were separating after 28 years of marriage. They have two children, who have both appeared on the show. On June 27, 2018, Larry Caputo, who moved to Los Angeles following their separation, announced they were moving from separation to divorce. In August 2021, her daughter Victoria announced via Instagram that she and her husband were pregnant with their first child, a girl, due in February 2022. Caputo’s daughter, Victoria, gave birth to a baby girl on February 22, 2022.
