Behind every great man, there’s a great woman, so goes the slogan. That appears to extend to the Mets and their blockbuster signing of Carlos Correa. 

Steve Cohen was wheeling and dealing from paradise, on vacation in Hawaii, but it turns out that it was his wife who pushed for him to close the deal to bring the superstar shortstop to Queens, according to an ESPN report.

After The Post first reported that Correa had reached a 12-year, $315 million deal with the Mets, Cohen’s wife Alex — a longtime Mets fan whose father, Ralph Garcia, was a regular in the stands at Citi Field — took to her Instagram story to share a smiling photo of the two of them with a palm tree and the ocean as the backdrop. She included a message to Mets fans, expressing her gratitude for their support amid the team’s free agency frenzy.

“Aloha and thank you ALL for your kind words – we are the lucky ones with fans like you…. @mets,” she wrote, adding the hashtag “grateful.”

Mets fans should be be thankful for Cohen and his wife’s influence on the decision.

After the Giants deal fell through over reported concern about Correa’s ankle, Cohen and his GM Billy Eppler kept in contact with Correa’s agent, Scott Boras, with the two sides talking and texting deep into the night. Correa, meanwhile, lingered, occasionally coming into Boras’ room on the 12th floor of the St. Regis in San Francisco as negotiations with the Mets went back and forth, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

Still, the Mets were about $10 million short of where Cohen and Eppler believed they needed to get to, according to the report. While at dinner with his wife, Cohen gave the green light. Around 11 p.m. PT, the two sides reached an agreement, with details that included a full no-trade clause and no opt-outs, finalized about 30 minutes later. Correa celebrated by tackling Boras, according to the report, and tossing him on the bed.

Back in Hawaii, Alex Cohen was sharing congratulatory messages from fans once the news broke, including one that declared her and her husband “the greatest owners in baseball.”

“In the end, what the [heck’s] the difference. If you’re trying to make a move, you make the move,” Steve Cohen told The Post’s Jon Heyman by phone from Hawaii. “If it’s [a few percent] more, what’s the difference?”

Cohen had traveled to Hawaii on Tuesday — the same day the Giants postponed their introductory press conference with Correa following what they said was a “difference of opinion” between the sides when it came to his medical evaluation.

Then came Cohen, who didn’t hesitate to roll the dice on a Mets future with Correa, with the insistence of his wife helping seal the deal. Correa was undergoing his physical on Thursday.

“We needed one more thing, and this is it,” Cohen said. “This really makes a big difference,” Cohen said. “I feel like our pitching was in good shape. We needed one more hitter. This puts us over the top.”
