Gary Coleman and his wife Shannon Price
The honeymoon is over for former child star Gary Coleman and his new bride, Shannon Price.

The 40-year-old actor and his 22-year-old wife are set to appear on TV’s “Divorce Court” on May 1st and 2nd. The couple wed in August after meeting on the set of the 2006 comedy “Church Ball.”

Among the problems the pair discusses with Judge Lynn Toler are Gary’s anger and intimacy issues. Gary and Shannon agree they have “ugly” monthly fights.

“If he doesn’t get his way, he throws a temper tantrum like a five- year-old does,” Shannon says. “He like stomps the floor and yells, ‘Meehhhh,’ and starts throwing stuff around. He bashes his head in the wall, too.”

Gary says he gets frustrated because “the male is always the bad guy.”

“When I try to state my case or explain things to her or try to get her to understand my point of view,” Gary says, “my point of view doesn’t matter.”

Shannon also complains that Gary has no friends and inexplicably disappears from home in the middle of the night. When Judge Toler presses him, Gary admits he is negative.

“I don’t have any friends and don’t have any intention of making any,” he says. “People will stab you in the back, mistreat you, talk about me behind your back, steal from you. And they’re not really your friends. (They’re) only there because you’re a celebrity or because they want to get something from you.”

Gary went on to describe the couple’s private life as “mediocre.”

“It’s not her fault,” he says. “I always feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders every day I get up. … There are days I don’t even want to get up.”

Will Judge Lynn Toler be able to help Gary Coleman save his marriage, or is it too late? Tune in to find out!

Gary Coleman Need Love Too

Shannon Price and Gary Coleman
Gary Coleman has revealed that he was secretly married in Nevada last August, after keeping it under wraps for six months.

The 40-year-old e-Bayer surprised Shannon Price with a romantic mountaintop wedding on her 22nd birthday.

Gary insists that the age difference between the couple is irrelevant to him.

He says, “I never got the opportunity to be romantic or feel romantic with anyone.

“I don’t have issues with age, I have issues with intelligence. She’s more intelligent than I am and that’s what matters to me.”

Shannon stands 5′ 7″ tall which towers over the 4′ 8″ Gary Coleman, but that doesn’t seem to bother her.

She says, “He was 10 feet tall to me because he was sweet. He lets his anger conquer him sometimes. He throws things around, and sometimes he throws it in my direction.”

Shannon also said that she was happy they kept the ceremony private because she didn’t want to be known as Gary Colman’s wife.

She explained, “I just want my own identity as well because I don’t want to be known as Gary Coleman’s wife.”

Gary responded, “I wouldn’t want that in a million years. I wouldn’t want you to be known as Gary Coleman’s wife. I hope you do get successful. She’s a great e-Bayer. She’s a fabulous e-Bayer. I hope she gets famous for that.”

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say these two lovebirds met on eBay. SMH. Well, at least Gary isn’t a 40-year-old virgin.
