Rhea Durham (2001–Present)
Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham had been together since 2001, they first met during a press junket in New York City. He said he felt Wahlberg was immediately smitten with her, thinking that she was the one. They had a rather unprecedented date—the first date took place at St. Patrick’s Cathedral when Wahlberg invited her to come along with him to church the next morning.
Within only two years of being together, the couple’s first baby daughter, Ella Rae, was born. They revealed the pregnancy to the world when Wahlberg’s movie, The Italian Job, was premiered and Durham sported a baby bump.
Their second child was a boy named Michael. In 2008, their third child, Brendan Joseph, completed the family.
After eight years together and three children, Wahlberg and Durham finally tied the marital knot in a very private ceremony at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Beverly Hills, with only 12 guests invited, among them their children.
The birth of their fourth child, a baby girl named Grace Margaret, rounded out the family with four children.
Wahlberg often credits Durham for making him a better man and father. They are like best friends.
