Ricki Lake Post-wedding

Ricki Lake Post-wedding, Ricki Lake‘s wedding was a deeply secretive affair, but the former talk show host sure likes to talk about it now.

The 43-year-old, who married 40-year-old Christian Evans in southern California on April 8, appeared on Tuesday’s Good Morning America to share her unconfined joy. Lake described how besotted she feels, exclaiming:

“It was a week ago and I am so, so happy to be with him. Better late than never.”

To the amazement of nobody, Lake said she had struggled to keep quiet about her big day, admitting:

“I have the biggest mouth. I’m someone who shares everything. I wear everything on my sleeve.”

However, it seems the former Dancing With the Stars contestant managed it: the only guests present at their Southern Californian beach wedding were the couple’s two dogs. “I wanted it to be for us,” she said.

Indeed, even Lake’s two sons, from her previous marriage to Rob Sussman, didn’t appear at the ceremony.
