The new Mrs. Jerry Lee Lewis says she married him for love, not money.

Judith Ann Coughlan Lewis says, "To the people that think there's never going to be someone out there for them to love, just wait until they're in their 60s and 70s. It's better than ever."

She says it was a small wedding where the only guests were her sister and husband and Lewis' sister and husband. The marriage license shows they married March 9.

Judith is Lewis' seventh wife. She's also the ex-wife of Lewis' cousin, and that cousin's older sister is Myra Gale Brown, who married Lewis when she was 13 in 1957.

Coughlan Lewis was Lewis' caretaker and got the job when her then-husband sent her to work for Lewis. Coughlan Lewis says she and her husband plan to record a gospel album together.
