Eva LaRue, known for her roles in All My Children and CSI: Miami, is not currently married. The 59-year-old actress has been married three times, most recently to businessman Joe Cappuccio, and has also survived a harrowing 12-year stalking ordeal that ended with her stalker's imprisonment in 2022.
Eva LaRue's Three Marriages
LaRue's first marriage was to actor and television host John O'Hurley in 1992. The couple met through the entertainment industry early in LaRue's career and divorced in 1994 after two years of marriage.
Her second marriage was to actor John Callahan, her co-star on All My Children. They married on 30 November 1996 on the Hawaiian island of Lanai and welcomed their daughter, Kaya McKenna Callahan, in December 2001. The couple divorced in 2005 after nine years of marriage.
Reflecting on their post-divorce relationship, LaRue told Michael Fairman TV in 2020: "Well, you know, like any divorce, the first four years afterwards were super contentious but then, by year five, we kind of had this major breakthrough, and from then on, he was one of my closest friends, and one of the things we always kept alive for each other was we loved to dance together."
John Callahan's Death and Aftermath
Callahan died suddenly on 28 March 2020 at age 66 after suffering a massive stroke. LaRue recalled his final moments in the same interview: "Then, when Kaya was talking to him about Yankee season, he started moving his feet. We were kind of hopeful that something was changing for the better. We had about a half-hour with him, and then, they took him up to ICU, and then, we knew we couldn’t see him again. They called us later that night that he had passed."
LaRue's third marriage was to businessman Joe Cappuccio. They met after Cappuccio saw a photo of LaRue on a mutual friend's refrigerator and arranged an introduction through his real estate lawyer, who was married to LaRue's best friend from junior high. They married in Mexico in June 2010.
In a 2010 interview with Carmel Magazine, LaRue said of their relationship: "We feel really lucky to have met each other and to be living the life that we’re living…We want to make sure that not only are the people around us happy and comfortable, but that the people not around us are happy and comfortable."
Why Did Eva LaRue's Third Marriage End?
Cappuccio filed for divorce in January 2014, citing irreconcilable differences. LaRue later addressed the split on social media, writing on X: "Emotional time 4 Me and Kaya-Really tough extenuating circumstances-Adult children w/addiction can tear a marriage apart.Thnk u 4 ur supprt." The divorce was finalized in 2015 through a private settlement.
Since then, LaRue has focused on her acting career, raising her daughter, and advocating for stronger anti-stalking laws.
The Stalking Ordeal
In March 2007, LaRue and her then five-year-old daughter Kaya became targets of an anonymous stalker who used the alias "Freddie Krueger." Over more than a decade, the stalker sent dozens of threatening letters and made frightening phone calls. The harassment escalated when he located Kaya's high school, impersonated her father, and left threatening voicemails.
LaRue described the psychological impact in a November 2025 interview on CBS Mornings, which coincided with the release of her documentary My Nightmare Stalker: The Eva LaRue Story: "It really is an absolute rewiring of how you move through your life. There's no way to ever go back to innocence." She added: "There was no place to hide because you don't know where he could be, so you are really in a prison of your own making because you are trying to be four steps ahead of what he could do and those possibilities are endless."
Despite moving several times, changing routines, and keeping weapons nearby, the harassment continued. In November 2019, the FBI used genetic genealogy to identify Ohio resident James David Rogers as the stalker. Rogers pleaded guilty to multiple counts of stalking and mailing threatening communications and was sentenced to 40 months in federal prison in 2022.
LaRue has acknowledged that the trauma persists, saying: "I don't think we'll ever feel safe. Your brain never goes back to not being hyper vigilant." Today, she uses her experience to advocate for stronger anti-stalking laws.
