On her podcast, “Kandidly Keshia,” the actress revealed more details about her wedding to the 37-year-old former athlete.

“We did it literally in our living room in our home,” she confessed. “We come from a large family. I’m one of four, Ed is one of six. We invited people. [Our guests] had no clue they were coming to a wedding. They thought they were coming to a New Year’s party.”

Hartwell, the ex-husband of “Hollywood Divas” cast member and former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Lisa Wu, also appeared on the podcast and got sentimental when discussing his new wife.

“I’m happy every day. I thank God every day,” Hartwell admitted. “No matter what I go through, I thank him every day that I get to wake up next to such a beautiful angel that he sent into my life.”

When news of Pulliam and Hartwell getting engaged first broke in December, many friends and fans of the actress reached out to her ex-boyfriend Big Tigger and mistakenly congratulated him because the couple dated through most of 2015.

AlwaysAList.com attended a Black History Month celebration at The White House that the couple attended together in February 2015; and during an episode of VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta: Afterparty Live” hosted by the 43-year-old radio personality, he indirectly referenced Pulliam during an uncomfortable exchange with reality TV bad girl Joselyn Hernandez.

While neither Pulliam nor Tigger has disclosed why they broke up last year, she’s since moved on and is now a happily married woman.
