Get to Know ‘B&B’ Star Jack Wagner’s New Wife Michelle Wolf & Their Love Story
Jack Wagner has returned to the world of The Bold and the Beautiful! The actor is reprising the role of Nick Marone, who is sure to rock Brooke Logan’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) world once again.
In addition to his B&B comeback, Wagner kicked off a new chapter of his personal life. The When Calls the Heart star married Michelle Wolf in a surprise wedding on May 18. So, who is Jack Wagner’s new wife? Learn more about Michelle Wolf and their love story below.
Who is Jack Wagner’s wife?
Wagner’s wife is singer-songwriter Michelle Wolf. She started performing at a young age and has toured all across the United States and Europe through the years. On top of performing, Wolf is also a talented songwriter and voice actor. She is a Los Angeles native and has a home in Malibu. Wolf has a daughter, Ornella, from a previous relationship.
The actor recently opened up about why Wolf is the perfect partner for him. “When you get older and you’re in relationships, it’s about problem-solving skills,” he explained to Today. “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.”
When did Jack Wagner and Michelle Wolf get married?
The couple, who started dating in 2021, got married on May 18 at the Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles. They kept their wedding guest list to about 40 people.
“It was a day that doesn’t happen much for me,” Wagner told Swooon. “One of those once-in-a-lifetime things. I’m not out dancing and being crazy at my age very often. Like, never. And it was an opportunity for everyone to get their jig step going and have a lot of laughs.”
Wagner’s former When Calls the Heart costar Lori Loughlin made a speech at the wedding. “Lori brought up my son, Harrison, so he was with us, and we made sure that was part of the celebration as well,” the actor said. “He was part of the celebration and will continue to be.” (Harrison died in 2022.)
The newlyweds took their honeymoon in Italy, where he also filmed episodes for B&B. “What was great is I was able to tie in a honeymoon for the first six days and then just jump right into production and have Brad [Bell, B&B’s executive producer and head writer] pay for all the dinners [laughs],” Wagner said.
Despite being husband and wife, Wagner and Wolf don’t live together. “We’ve decided, let’s not rock the boat and sell this and sell that and try to find something,” he explained to Parade. “We take a couple nights off, and then we trade off who’s going to be where because I think we both know that the older we are, it’s nice to have a little space. Not too much, but it’s okay! It works.”
What happened between Jack Wagner and Kristina Wagner?
Wagner and his first wife, Kristina Wagner, met and fell in love on the set of General Hospital. Their characters, Frisco and Felicia, became one of the most beloved supercouples in soaps. The real-life couple married in 1993. They welcomed two kids, Peter and Harrison. (The actor also has a daughter, Kerry, from a previous relationship.) Wagner and his first wife divorced in 2006.
“The divorce was the best thing that could have happened to me and for my children, as well, because I don’t think I was being a very good mother at the time,” Kristina previously told Oprah Winfrey. “I had to deal with myself first because we ultimately have to take care of ourselves before we can help others, right?”
The former couple’s youngest son, Harrison, died on June 6, 2022, of an accidental drug overdose. He was 27 years old. In the wake of his death, they founded the Harrison Wagner Scholarship Fund, which helps young men get sober through the Miracle House Foundation.
