Mark Wahlberg Becoming Buddies With His Oldest Daughter’s Boyfriend

Mark Wahlberg is often in the news for putting on weight for his films. The actor from “The Fighter” is a workaholic who also remembers to take care of his health. Mark just worked out with his eldest daughter’s boyfriend.

Mark Wahlberg recently invited his eldest daughter, Ella Rae Wahlberg’s boyfriend, to his workout session. The video shows him inside a gym, standing next to Ella’s smiling boyfriend. They were both wearing similar orange T-shirts with the name of his sports utility gear company, Municipal, on them.

“I used to work out to keep the boys away from my girl and now, I’m working out with the boyfriend. Imagine that. Self-made.”

Rhea Durham, Mark’s wife, and Ella’s mother reacted to the actor’s post with five laughing emojis. Octavia Spencer, who co-starred in the 2018 film Instant Family, responded with four red heart emojis.

In addition to Ella, who turned 18 in September, the 50-year-old athletic actor and Rhea, 43, have three children: Grace Margaret Wahlberg, who will turn 12 this week, Michael Wahlberg, 15, and Brendan Wahlberg, 13.

Mark expressed his feelings about Ella dating on Live with Kelly and Ryan in 2017. He recalled a day when she brought a boy home with her. On The Graham Norton Show that year, Mark also mentioned seeing the youngster and his mother.

“He came to my house. He brought his mother along. He was very sweet and kind. It was one of those things where, I was like, ‘Oh wow, this boy’s really nice’ and now he’s not around anymore. I don’t know what happened. But I was not trying to intimidate him. I guess the relationship just didn’t work out, and somehow I got blamed.”

“This kid comes over and he one-ups me. He brings his mom.”

“I was like, ready. I had the whole thing. I had a couple of my buddies there. All of a sudden, he and his mom come in and I’m like, ‘Hey,  so what do you do at school? Do you have any extracurricular activities?'”

Mark appears to genuinely care about his girls, which is admirable. He also invited his older daughter’s boyfriend to work out with him, which is something that most fathers would never consider.
