When it came time to curate the soundtrack for his recent wedding, Jack Wagner turned to his beautiful bride, who happens to be a singer and songwriter, for her expertise.
'As soon as we were married and coming back down the aisle, she chose that new Katy Perry song ('Lifetimes'),' the actor tells TODAY.com over Zoom and sings a few lines from the upbeat tune.
It was an appropriate choice, Wagner says, since the song matches his wife Michelle Wolf's energy.
'Michelle's just this vibrant spark plug," he says.
Beaming with pride, Wagner recalls that the uplifting song set the tone for their nuptials.
'That was just the energy of the whole day, with some very poignant moments as well as this whole celebration jam,' he says. 'That's the deal with her, which I think is important for me because it keeps me young.'
The newlyweds tied the knot at Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles in front of 40 guests on May 18 and honored their religious faith with the help of a priest and several gospel readings.
Several family members, including Wagner's son Peter and Wolf's daughter Ornella, spoke at the wedding, as did a few of the couple's friends, including actor Lori Loughlin and tennis player Mardy Fish.
The newlyweds turned to the film 'When Harry Met Sally' for inspiration for their first dance and busted a move to the song 'It Had to Be You.'
Afterwards, Wagner recalls, his wife urged the crowd to join in dancing.
'From that moment on, it was just a rock fest,' he says.
Wolf, who Wagner describes as "an incredible singer," has worked with a wide array of artists throughout her career, including B.B. King, 'N Sync, James Ingram, Oleta Adams, Zucchero and many more.
'She's been singing since she was a girl and in bands. She toured with Rufus, she's got an R&B rock band up in Malibu and she's just a wonderful person," he says.
After their "kick-ass celebration," the lovebirds traveled to Italy for a romantic honeymoon in the Amalfi Coast and Naples. Up next, Wagner filmed a story arc that marks his first time appearing on "The Bold and the Beautiful" since 2022.
While reflecting on his relationship with Wolf, Wagner describes one of the reasons she "checks" all the right "boxes" for him.
'When you get older and you're in relationships, it's about problem-solving skills. When something comes up, how are you gonna deal with it? She has an amazing gift to let things go. She lets things go and me being the dramatic person, (she helps me) let it go,' he explains.
In fact, the actor says this is his biggest piece of advice for all couples.
'I would suggest that to couples: the ability not to push things down, not to over-explode, but to actually be with it. That's the deeper work as human beings. Can I be with what's come up personally? Can I then have an adult conversation with it where the emotion's not driving it?" he says.
Luckily for Wagner, Wolf is on the same page and he can't help but gush about "energetic, positive" personality.
"We laugh a lot," he says.
