Hanson singer asked stage crew to pluck now-wife from crowd of fans

aired Thursday.In a cheeky segment, the group used the metaphorical meaning of their first hit song — an allegory for carpe diem — to reference times when they’ve “seized the day” in the past.The interview took a slightly awkward turn when she probed the brothers about their wives.“Isaac, the story of how you met your wife, it really chimed with me.

You saw her — have I got this right? — in the crowd at a gig and you knew there was a connection, there was something,” Thornton asked the band’s eldest member. “You went to the stage manager and said, ‘You have to stop her leaving,’ and that was the beginning of what has become a very happy marriage and beautiful family,” she continued.“As moments go, it’s courageous, it’s audacious and it’s frankly inspiring,” Thornton mocked, before goading the other siblings to spill.Responded Isaac: “I think that one takes the cake for me as a whole.

It was both the most persistent and brave moment in some ways … I had to try hard.” Zac, 36, interjected with a clarification: “You know what people may not realize is that Isaac met his wife by telling the stage manager, ‘Hey, that girl — I got to meet that girl.’ ”Said Thornton, “It sounds grubby, I’ll be honest.

It doesn’t sound … I struggle to make it sound romantic.”Turns out, all three of them married fans they met during shows — with middle brother Taylor and youngest Zac both finding love in 2002 during a Hanson performance at a Macy’s in Georgia.“Let’s simplify it,” Taylor, 39, pleaded. “We met them on tour in Atlanta, and yes, Isaac technically met both of our wives first.”Joked the host, “Honestly, I’m starting to smell some sort of Netflix series here.”Attempting to unweave this tangled web of wives, they further explained that.
