Larry shares his son Jye, who works in real estate, with his wife Sylvie. The couple are also proud parents to their 23-year-old daughter Tia.

The couple have been happily married for 27 years and revealed the secret to their longevity comes down to keeping the excitement alive.

“We decided we need to do at least one completely crazy thing each year so that we’ll have some ridiculously good stories to remind each other about when we’re in the nursing home,” Larry told Body & Soul.
