Gary Coleman on His Sexless Marriage

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: D-List, Television, Weddings, Child Stars, Where Are They Now?

A few days ago, we told you about actor Gary Coleman‘s secret marriage.  The Diff’rent Strokes star, 40, married Shannon Price, 22, last August after meeting her on a film set.

Aside from their obvious age and height differences, there were two things particularly noteworthy about their union.  Not only is this Coleman’s first ‘romantic’ relationship ever, it’s apparently one filled with anger issues.

Well - it seems there’s one more interesting huh?-fact that’ll trump those others:  it’s never been consummated.

In an interview with The Insider, Coleman (for some reason) admits that - even after more than a year together - their marriage remains sexless.

“It’ll happen when it will happen.  And it will happen for all the right reasons.”

Well, I would have thought marriage would have been a good excuse….but I guess it could always wait until the anniversary.

Gary Coleman-Married Man!

Posted by Elaine Furst Categories: D-List, Television, Weddings, Child Stars

Put away the wedding gown ladies.  Gary Coleman is now a married man!

According to People magazine Coleman, 40, married Shannon Price, last August 28…on her 22nd birthday!

The nuptials took place “on a mountaintop”, according to the Diff’rent Strokes star.  “Nobody was around but the minister, preacher, the videographers, the photographer, the helicopter pilot and us. That was all that was there. There was nobody else.”

Coleman, who met his bride on the set of their movie Church Ball, tells People that it is also his first ever romantic relationship.  “I never got the opportunity to be romantic or feel romantic with anyone,” he says. “I wasn’t saving myself, she just happened to be the one.”  (Oh, how sweet!)

Coleman however, does admit that things aren’t always kisses and sweet talk between them. He says that sometimes after an argument, they can go a whole week without speaking while she claims, “he lets his anger conquer him sometimes. … He throws things around, and sometimes he throws it in my direction.”  She adds, “I don’t like the violence.”

Neither of them, however, have any issues with the age difference.

Well, as they say, diff’rent strokes for VERY different folks!
