They're married! Living Single's Kim Coles, 53, weds former SWAT officer Reggie McKiver, 41, in the Dominican Republic 

 Living single is a thing of the past for comedian Kim Coles, 53.

The actress finally found her Mr. Right as she wed former SWAT police officer and health food store owner Reggie McKiver, 41, on June 17 in an intimate ceremony on the tropical island of the Dominican Republic.

The newlyweds kept their wedding photos private until Thursday when the Living Single star shared an image on Instagram.

‘[My heart] was open just enough for Reggie to come though and I’m so glad he did,” Coles told People.

She met her second husband at a natural hair expo.

He was assigned as her security detail and the pair hit if off after McKiver won Coles over with an intimate palm reading.

For her big day, the curvaceous bride radiated in an ivory chiffon and tulle Della Curva strapless gown with ruched detailing and a flowing mermaid skirt at the hemline.

She also wore a hibiscus bracelet to add a pop of color to the look.

Falling in line with her natural hair movement, Coles also opted for a braided up-do which she added small flowers to in efforts to complete the soft look.

Meanwhile, the groom was casual in a head-to-toe white look, which consisted of linen pants and a matching pocketed shirt. He completed his marital attire with slip on white leather shoes.

The couple opted for a more low-key and low maintenance ceremony as Coles accessorized her ensemble with a belt she had in her closet, 10 earrings and glittery thong sandals from Target.

‘I didn’t need any red-bottom shoes if I was going to be walking on the beach!,’ Coles revealed. ‘It was pretty, lovely and simple. Not overdone. I didn’t stress about the dress. It just all fell into place. It was just easy — just like the relationship has been.’

According to Coles dating McKiver just fell into place.

“I’m 53 and Reggie is 41 but I’m not a cougar. I can’t run that fast. I’m a meerkat or a prairie dog,’ the comedian said. ‘It’s about the right energy. It wasn’t like I was trolling for younger men. It’s about energy. We’re ageless. Just two people on the same plane,’ she concluded.

McKiver proposed to Coles at the Olive Garden in March. 

When he got down on one knee he did not have an engagement ring. But his sister was able to find his mother’s long-lost engagement ring which he later presented to the ‘Baby Daddy’ actress.

Elated with her newly engaged status Coles said she called all of her family and closest friends to announce her wedding. She even took to center stage, putting her wedding plans on blast at one of her stand-up shows.

‘Me with my big mouth announced I was getting married!,’ Coles said. ‘People asked where and I was like, you can’t come, it’s a private wedding. We had to move the wedding from one beach to a whole other beach, but all the people from the tour showed up — 45 people in their bathing suits and towels — but they were very respectful.’

'It’ll be a whole other thing. We got to have our own private thing and now we get to have the big extravaganza.'
