Mark Wahlberg reveals touching details about his marriage
The Hollywood star, a specialist in action films and scenes with flying fists is privately a devoted father and husband. He has a long-term marriage, which is uncommon in this industry, and now he reveals what captivated his wife. It's about a minor detail.
Wahlberg, who has a criminal past, does not hide his attachment to the Christian faith. On his Instagram profile, you can find recordings in which he invites people to pray. The actor and his wife's first date took place in a church. Mark met Rhea in 2001. The couple has four children. Interestingly, the star, who is very religious, married the mother of his children only in 2009, when three of their kids were already born.
During one of his recent interviews, the star was asked about the tattoo on his ring finger.
"That's my wife's name," he replied. "In case I’m not wearing my ring or working I can always have [this]. I got this on Valentine's Day one year. [Rhea] said, ‘That’s the nicest thing you've ever done!' I said, ‘Well, can I have back the expensive jewelry? And we’ll just get you one of these too?'" he joked.
Mark Wahlberg's career
Mark Wahlberg, now a Hollywood icon, began his entertainment career as a member of the musical group Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. Despite his success on the music scene, his music career was short-lived, and Wahlberg quickly sought other opportunities, leading him to acting.
Early in his career, he gained recognition for roles in films such as Boogie Nights, a film about the pornographic film industry in the 70s and 80s, where Wahlberg played Dirk Diggler, a young man who became a star in this unusual industry. His authentic and passionate portrayal earned praise from critics and audiences, opening doors to even bigger projects.
Undoubtedly, the greatest pride came from his performance in The Departed in 2006, for which he received an Oscar nomination. However, Wahlberg's acting career has also been a series of poor choices and Golden Raspberry nominations. Today, the actor is associated with films for a less demanding audience. His latest movie is quite an adventure, Arthur the King.
