Actor and active eBayer Gary Coleman has not yet had sex with his wife, even though the two married in August, he told "The Insider."

"It will happen when it happens," he said.

And in an interview with "Inside Edition," the couple said they fight so much that "yes," bride Shannon Price allegedly has feared for her safety.

But by now, she said, "I'm used to it."

The police were even called during one domestic dispute and cited Coleman.

Coleman married 22-year-old Price in August on a mountaintop in Nevada, but they have been keeping their vows under wraps, the pair told "Inside Edition" last week.

"Nobody was around but the minister, preacher, the videographers, the photographer, the helicopter pilot and us," Coleman, 40, said on Tuesday's broadcast of the program.

Price said it was she who proposed to Coleman, but that he surprised her on her birthday by whisking her to a mountaintop in the Valley of Fire State Park to exchange vows. She claimed they kept their wedding secret because she wanted to keep being seen as her own person.

"I just want my own identity as well because I don't want to be known as Gary Coleman's wife," she said.

Coleman is cool with the age gap, saying "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."

Price, who is 5-foot-7, and Coleman, who is 4-foot-8, also downplayed the daunting physics of their union

"That doesn't really matter to me," she said. "He was 10 feet tall to me because he was sweet and I really liked his personality."
