Must see video: 1992 Footage from the talk show “Christina” shows SAC Capital’s Steve Cohen (with a full head of hair!) and current wife Alex a month into their marriage talking about his involvement (which apparently included sex) with his ex-wife before the divorce was final in a segment entitled “He Acts Like Her Husband, Too”

Here’s a video gem excerpt of SAC Capital’s Steven Cohen — with a full head of hair — and his wife Alex, a month into their marriage, as they appeared on the talk show “Christina” in a 1992 segment entitled “He Acts Like Her Husband, Too”.

Sex with the former Mrs. Cohen ended after he and Alex got engaged. During his marriage to Patricia, Cohen admitted there were some “financial difficulties”.
