Who is Jesse Ventura’s wife? Personal life details you need to know about the WWE legend

American politician, actor and retired professional wrestler Jesse Ventura was once one of the leading names on the WWE (previously WWF) roster. After having served in the United States Navy Underwater Team during the Vietnam war, he made a career transition into the wrestling world. Between 1975 and 1986, Ventura was a popular name in the wrestling circuits, well-known for playing the heel.

During his 12 years long-tenure with WWF, he made his mark as a wrestler and color commentator. Almost 18 years after his retirement from WWF, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2004. Making yet another bold career move from wrestling into politics, Ventura also served as the 38th Governor of Minnesota from 1999 to 2003. However, Jesse Ventura has always credited his wife for being the reason for him having a sterling reputation and not one, but two successful careers.

Secret of Jesse Ventura’s long and successful marriage with Theresa Larson

Jesse Ventura has often publicly acknowledged the contributions made by his wife for him to have not one but two successful careers. Revealing the secrets of his long-lasting and successful marriage in an interview with Graham Bensinger, Ventura said, “Because I love her… because we are partners… and because if she weren't with me, there would be void. I need her.. Not just emotionally and all of that.. She does.. I do not have entourages. So guess who it all falls to!”
Elaborating in a humorous manner, Ventura continued,” I don’t do the internet. So guess who has to do the internet for me? I don’t send emails. I’ve never owned a cellphone… and now it’s my life’s mission not to. I want to be the first person.. If i live another 20 years or whatever it might be, I wanna be the only person who can put on his gravestone ‘HE NEVER OWNED A CELLPHONE’ while she does. So what would I do… if i have to own a cellphone if I got rid of her?”
Ventura further added,“ I hope everyone is laughing at that!”
