Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy, despite being a successful couple, reject the label of a “Hollywood couple” and prioritize their relationship over their busy careers.
Wahlberg said, “We’re proud of the fact that we’re a successful couple.”
“We kind of shudder at the term Hollywood couple. Like, when we got together and people were like, ‘New Hollywood couple, they’ll last two years,'” he continued.
“We’re like, first of all, we’re going to last more than two years. Second of all, we’re not a Hollywood couple. We’re a couple. Hollywood has nothing to do with our relationship and, frankly, we have very little to do with Hollywood,” explained the actor.
“We live in Illinois. She’s from Chicago, I’m from Boston and our relationship is not about Hollywood. It’s about home and family and love,” he added.
“First of all, we’re very, very much in love. Two things that really have helped us the most is we put our relationship first in our lives despite the fact that we’re both very busy,” Wahlberg revealed.
“We really put our relationship first in the decisions we make in our careers. We consult each other,” shared the actor.
Wahlberg recently partnered with Clean Fuels Alliance America, influenced by McCarthy’s support.
Wahlberg said, “She was a big proponent of me doing the Bioheat [fuel] situation.”
“I talked to her about it, and she said, ‘I love how you feel about it. I love your curiosity about it. I think it’s a great thing for you to do,'” he recalled.
“I grew up in a house in Boston that had a giant oil tank in the basement. I remember the oil guy coming and filling the tank and a lot of the homes in that region, in neighborhoods like I grew up in. Those homes, they need oil,” explained Wahlberg.
“Here’s this product that’s come along that gives them a chance to do something to help create a cleaner environment without turning their life upside down, without breaking their bank,” he continued.
“I think most people, whether you’re on the green side of things or the other side of this conversation, everybody wants to be cleaner and do their part to make a cleaner environment,” he concluded.
The CEO of Clean Fuels, Donnell Rehagen, said, “We are honored and excited to have Donnie Wahlberg join forces with Clean Fuels in our mission to promote sustainable energy solutions.”
“Donnie’s involvement adds a powerful voice to our campaign, bringing attention to the positive impact of Bioheat® fuel on both a local and global scale. We believe that, together, we can inspire positive change and encourage individuals to make the switch to cleaner, more sustainable heating options,” his statement continued.
Their marriage secrets include prioritizing their relationship and learning from past mistakes.
Wahlberg aims to work on a scripted TV show with McCarthy, emphasizing her acting talent.
He values gratitude and aims to pursue projects aligned with his passions.
“So, we had to put in the work, and that’s the other secret. People say relationships shouldn’t be work, but if you care about something, you work hard at it. So many times people don’t want to put that work into their relationship, and they think of work in a relationship as problems, but it’s actually problem prevention and problem-solving if you put it in the work,” revealed Wahlberg.
“Date nights are work, you know? I don’t mean it’s difficult to have a date night, but you have to make the choice to give each other that time,” said Wahlberg.
“It’s very easy to get caught up in the kids and the jobs and the pets and the bills and all this stuff, and you just stop caring about the relationship,” he explained.
“Do the little things that made you fall in love with each other even more after you’re married,” he advised.
“I think that’s what we try to do. We had a lot of fun when we were dating. Let’s continue to make the effort to have that fun now,” he added.
“She’s very funny. And one of the things that flatters me about her, both of us, we have so much fun together,” Wahlberg said of his wife.
“The idea of working together on something comedic is definitely, I’d say, the only thing on my bucket list,” concluded Wahlberg.
