Soap opera star Jack Wagner is opening up about his recent wedding.
While chatting with PEOPLE about his return to The Bold and the Beautiful, the 65-year-old actor revealed new details about his nuptials with singer-songwriter Michelle Wolf. The pair’s “private” ceremony was attended by “about 40” of their closest friends and family members, plus “a DJ.”
For Wagner, the best part about his big day was that it was “rather small and intimate.”
“[It was] something that was just ours, with a group that we selected,” Wagner tells PEOPLE.
“It was just so cool that it was just a big kind of funfest that doesn’t happen very often in life where everybody lets loose,” he continues. “And it was one of those days where that happens. So really blessed to just have that sort of window of celebration you don’t get to have very often.”
Wolf announced her marriage to Wagner on Instagram on May 31. Alongside a group of wedding photos — which featured Wagner’s son Peter, whom he shares with ex-wife Kristina, and Wolf’s daughter, Ornella, in attendance — Wolf wrote: “We did it!!!!!! MARRIED in front of our little family!! #MrAndMrs ♥️♥️♥️ 💃🕺.”
Wolf has since made her Instagram account private.
Wagner and Wolf began dating in January 2021 and took their relationship public on Instagram later that same year. At the time, Wolf shared a clip of Wagner filming the pair in front of a mirror as they embraced. She wrote over the clip, “My man ❤️,” and added in the caption, “Love. ❤️.”

Back in April, PEOPLE confirmed that Wagner would be returning to The Bold and the Beautiful to reprise his role as Nick Marone, who he played on the series from 2003 to 2012. Outside of a brief appearance on the show in 2022, this summer marks his big return to the CBS long-running daytime soap.
Wagner tells PEOPLE it was “great” to work again with Katherine Kelly Lang, who plays Brooke, and teases that his character will “surprise” her as “her heart’s breaking” because of Thorsten Kaye’s Ridge.
He has “one goal,” Wagner says: “To get Brooke to wake up to the insanity that she’s been in for so long.” For Nick, Ridge is a “fly on my shoulder.” Ridge and Brooke’s dynamic might be complicated, but it’s “totally uncomplicated” for Nick.
“Coming back to a show like this, the goal for me is to make an impact,” Wagner adds.
Wagner returns to The Bold and the Beautiful on June 16.
