Shannon, price, Shannon price
Gary Coleman revealed today that he’s tied the knot, and it’s not just his first marriage — it’s his first time ever being in love.
The 40-year-old former child actor told “Inside Edition” that he secretly wed Shannon Price, 22, on Aug. 28 after the couple met on a movie set.
“I never got the opportunity to be romantic or feel romantic with anyone,” the “Diff’rent Strokes” star said. “I wasn’t saving myself; she just happened to be the one.”
Price, who’s about 5œ feet tall, said neither their height nor their age difference deterred her from falling for the 4-foot-8 actor.
“He was 10 feet tall to me because he was sweet and I really liked his personality,” she said.
Price, who now sells Coleman memorabilia on the Internet, said she hopes to be known for more than her household name of a husband.
“She’s a great eBayer,” Coleman said. She’s a fabulous eBayer. I hope she gets famous for that.”
“Inside Edition” will have more about the couple at 3 p.m. today on WLS-Channel 7.
