Public interest in the personal life of Ted Carter Jr. has surged following reports that he risked both his $1.5 million (£1.11 million) university post and his 45-year marriage over an alleged inappropriate relationship with a podcaster. The revelations have prompted many readers to ask a simple question: who is his wife?
Carter, a retired US Navy vice admiral and former university leader, has been married for more than four decades to Lynda Kohlhepp. While Carter has spent much of his career in the public eye through military service and leadership in higher education, Kohlhepp has largely maintained a private profile.
