Mark Wahlberg Shares Rare Family Photo With Two Sons Who Tower Over Him
Mark Wahlberg shared a family photo alongside his wife of nearly 15 years, Rhea Durham, and two of the couple's four children; Brendan, 15, and Michael, 18, during a recent vacation in Hawaii.
"What a time, nothing like it," Wahlberg captioned the photo of the foursome standing in front of some tropical palm fronds. "Except for those two boys being taller than me already." The couple also share two daughters, Ella, 20, and Grace, 14, though they weren't pictured in the post.
In 2022, Wahlberg moved his family from California to Las Vegas, and he's been open that the decision boiled down to his kids. "It's a place where my kids can thrive and do their thing and pursue their interests," the 52-year-old told People last month.
In an interview with The Talk last year, Wahlberg said that the "biggest challenge" has been balancing his work and family life, but he hoped that would change with the move.
"Every free moment that I have, I'm at home," he explained. "I moved to Nevada after this gubernatorial election, hopefully will go to legislation and get a bill passed so we can get tax credits for the state, build a state-of-the-art studio here and make this Hollywood 2.0. I want to be able to work from home."
"I moved to California many years ago to pursue acting, and I only made a couple of movies in the entire time that I was there," Wahlberg continued. "So to be able to give my kids a better life and follow and pursue their dreams—whether it be my daughter as an equestrian, my son as a basketball player, my younger son as a golfer—you know, this made a lot more sense for us."
"So we came here to just kind of give ourselves a new look, a fresh start for the kids, and there's lots of opportunity here," he added. "So I'm really excited about the future."
