Mark Wahlberg is a family man.
The “Daddy’s Home” star and his wife, Rhea Durham, welcomed three children before tying the knot in August 2009.
Ella Rae, Michael and Brendan attended their parents’s nuptials in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The couple’s youngest child, Grace, was born after they wed.
Wahlberg and Durham moved their big brood from Los Angeles to Nevada in 2022, with the actor telling “E! News” the following year that their family was “thriving” outside of Hollywood.
Get to know Wahlberg’s two sons and two daughters below.
Ella Rae Wahlberg
Two years after Wahlberg and Durham began dating in 2001, they welcomed daughter Ella.
Their baby girl’s September 2003 birth took place the same day that the Emmy nominee’s sister Debbie Wahlberg died of a heart attack — so he has referred to his late sibling as Ella’s “guardian angel.”
When Ella began dating her boyfriend, James Stuart, Mark became a vocal support of the relationship.
“We have a great relationship. He’s fantastic,” he told Ellen DeGeneres in February 2022. “I hope she can keep him.”
After Ella graduated from high school, she headed off to Clemson University in South Carolina in January 2023.
Mark visited her during parents’s weekend and crashed a frat party, telling “Entertainment Tonight” about the “nuts” experience that December.
Michael Wahlberg
Ella became a big sister in March 2006 when Michael joined the family.
His moniker honors the nickname Mark’s own dad gave him as a kid.
While the action star keeps his kids out of the spotlight, he has shared Michael’s milestones via Instagram, from being confirmed in May 2022 to getting a Ford Bronco the following year.
When Michael turned 17 in March 2023, Mark posted a tribute via Instagram for the “wonderful young man.”
Michael made headlines in August of the following year when he attended the “Union” premiere with his parents and younger siblings.
In the rare red carpet appearance, which featured his girlfriend, Sunni Gaines, the teenager debuted what appeared to be a Roman numeral tattooed on his chest.
Brendan Joseph Wahlberg
Mark and Durham’s second son, Brendan, arrived in September 2008.
The Oscar nominee gave a glimpse of the little one’s personality when he recalled needing to leave a 2017 Super Bowl game early due to the then-8-year-old’s “screaming and cursing at the top of his lungs.”
By the time the teen started high school in August 2023, he was already taller than his dad in Durham’s celebratory Instagram post.
Grace Margaret Wahlberg
Durham gave birth to Ella in January 2010, five months after she married Mark.
The couple’s youngest child is an aspiring equestrian, with the Golden Globe nominee revealing to People in June 2023 that she wants to “be a Grand Prix jumper.”
He gushed, “She’s got it all figured out, what she wants to do and how she wants to do it. She’s doing the work.”
