Tonya Harding's ex-husband, convicted of conspiring in the leg-whacking attack on Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan, has a new wife.

Jeff Gillooly, who changed his last name to Stone while in prison, married Nancy Nicole Sharkey, whom he met in 1991 when she gave him a manicure.

The wedding was Aug. 17. They already have a child, 6-month-old Haley Nicole.

Romance blossomed in 1994, "after everything happened," his wife said last week, referring to the highly publicized pre-Olympic attack on Kerrigan, Harding's major rival.

Gillooly pleaded guilty to racketeering for helping plan the attack that knocked Kerrigan out of the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating championships. He was released from prison in March 1995 after serving six months in a boot-camp program.
