Gary Coleman Secretly Married to Shannon Price

Gary Coleman, the former childhood star of 1980s television show "Diff'rent Strokes", has secretly gotten married to Shannon Price on a Nevada mountaintop.

“Nobody was around but the minister, preacher, the videographers, the photographer, the helicopter pilot and us,” said 40-year-old Coleman, who played the role of Arnold in the popular series.

Price, who is 5-foot-7, said her 4-foot-8 husband’s height was no problem. “That doesn’t really matter to me," said Price, 22. "He was 10 feet tall to me because he was sweet and I really liked his personality.”

The couple got married in August. Price told Inside Edition that the reason for their secrecy was because "I just want my own identity as well because I don't want to be known as Gary Coleman's wife."

Coleman and Price met on the set of the movie "Church Ball", which was released in March of 2006.
