Character Information
Theresa Russo is a typical mother. She's fussy, caring and can be pretty embarrassing. Unlike her children, she is a mortal. Theresa lives in Waverly in Manhattan with her husband (and former wizard) Jerry Russo and her children: Alex, Justin , Max. She owns a sandwich shop called the Waverly Sub Station with her husband, in which her children work.
Theresa stated that she is a "Proud Latina" and tries to get her children to learn about her and their Mexican heritage. She used to play guitar for an all-girl mariachi band although she really couldn't play it.
Theresa is the reason why Jerry could not keep his wizard powers. Since wizards are not allowed marry non-wizards, Jerry gave up his powers to his younger brother Kelbo in order to marry Theresa. However, Jerry says he does not regret marrying her.
