George Teichner secretly married his 25-year-old girlfriend, Dana Lavette Cody, August 3. The pair tied the knot in a hush-hush Malibu wedding, which was not attended by Aviva and her family.

Cody took to Twitter to explain her now-stephdaughter's absence. "we DID NOT TELL ANYONE!!!" she wrote. "Neither family members were aware!! My #HUSBAND & myself only allowed the world to view our love via #RHONY @bravotv so that the public can understand that #truelove & #soulmates exist despite ageism, & cultural differences!! We are truly not into "showbiz" -only into each other... Certain moments in life are #priceless!!!!!"

Aviva opened up to Us Weekly about the happy news—and there are no hard feelings she wasn't by her father's side. "I am so happy for my father and Cody!" she said. "They did get married! They eloped!"

Earlier this year, Cody opened up to the Dish about her relationship with Aviva. "We're in a great place!" she said. "We were just in New York...and we stayed at her place. We get along really well. We email and text back and forth a lot. And I get along with her children too!"

Cody had also hinted that a surprise wedding would take place. "We could just go to a courthouse and get married!" she said. "George and I want to do this for ourselves."
