Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Theresa Larson met Jesse Ventura in 1990 while working at a local McDonald’s. She was 19 at the time and he was 39. They hit it off almost immediately, and she left her home to live with him as his girlfriend. At first, they lived together in his home in Eagan with his two kids and new wife – but only for a few months before moving into their own place together. That’s right: Jesse Ventura had a third wife who wasn’t afraid of marriage or commitment. In fact, the couple got hitched again after an annulment just a year later! Even more surprising is that this beautiful brunette isn’t even the most famous Mrs. Ventura considering that he once married pro wrestler Richelle – also known as WWE Diva Alexis – and has remained married to her ever since.
