Dick Van Dyke has just become a newlywed

after getting hitched to his makeup artist, Arlene Silver.

The 86-year-old Mary Poppins star tells RumorFix.com that he and his 40-year-old significant other tied the knot on Feb. 29.

"Kinda on the spur of the moment, we just decided Leap Day

would be the best time to do it," says Van Dyke.

The veteran actor met Silver six years ago at the SAG Awards, where, according to Van Dyke, he was "bowled over by her beauty."

He hired her as his personal makeup artist and the two became friends. But within the last couple of years, they "fell in love."

This is the second go-around for the song-and-dance man.

Van Dyke was previously married to the mother of his four children, Margie Willett, but they eventually divorced.

He then lived with Michelle Triola for more than 30 years until her death in 2009.

"I'm not a loner. I have to have a life partner," insists Van Dyke. "I found the perfect one."

Awwwwww

...I just saw that on my Yahoo! page...and I must admit ole boy looks happy as hell

Good for him but isn´t it strange that most people have no problem whatsoever if the age difference is more than 40 years as long as the older person is male and the other person is over 30 and female, yet most people have a problem with Prince´s choices or with older ladies who choose younger male partners.

Imagine the outcry if this were, say, Joan Collins marrying Ashton Kutcher.

Congrats and blessings to the new couple.

Not to be mean, but I don't think I knew Dick was still alive. Happy to hear he is -- now more than ever.

ewww

She mus like grizzled ole dick. Van Dyke is a nice guy, though. We usually finish last. Hope he waxed dat ass.

Exactly. He and Tony Randall went out and found what they needed to get extra some spring in their step during these sunset years

Damn, I didn't know the Dickster was still alive.

Yeah, but Prince cruises the high schools looking for his.

As for Joan Collins and Ashton Kutcher, it might shock a lot of people but I don't think either of them would be labelled as gold diggers because they both have money.

I see him every night in a commercial on MeTV promoting "The Dick Van Dyke Show" that airs on that network every weeknight. He says he's jealous of "The Bob Newhart Show", another show that airs on that network, because they got to sleep in the same bed instead of those rediculous twin beds.

Dick's female co-star that played his co-worker also has commercials promoting the show on the network.

I'm the opposite because I saw "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" when it originally aired and didn't see "The Dick Van Dyke Show" until the late 1970s when it was in reruns so I always see her as the single Mary Richardson. It's funny how we always remember a star from the first role we saw them play.

Exactly. Looking at that clock on the wall...

Dick Van Dyke is cooler than any 10 of today's so-called "movie stars" put together.

What's next...Dick in an ad for Viagra!!

Don't be a Dick! Use Viagra!! Or is that Don't be a Dyke!??

As long as make-up artist chcik is genuinely happy to be with ol' Dick then hey, kudos to them!

Ol' Dick sure is looking happy!

I like Dick Van Dyke. I saw him in an interview not too long ago and I'd say that man is no fool. At this stage in life both of them know who they are and what they want out of life, and they know each other pretty well. So good luck and best wishes to the both of them.

They both look happy. She could have done worse. She will also, more then likely have the chance to marry again in this lifetime.

I mean, I was thinking he looks pretty good and lively for 86... I'd marry him

...Might pass on the sex part though.
