On Sunday, December 3, Theresa Caputo and Larry Caputo announced their separation after 28 years of marriage, and now, Larry's dad has exclusively revealed to RadarOnline.com the real reason behind the bombshell split.

Larry's dad Jack, 88, said he was "shocked" by the announcement and hinted that distance caused by the Long Island Medium star's job may have led to the couple's demise.

"They have two kids. Who cares if she is away a lot," Jack revealed. "She has to be away — that's fine. Then they can be together when she's not away for her job."
