It was a family Thanksgiving for Mark Wahlberg, his wife Rhea Durham, and their four children.
Durham, who has been married to Wahlberg since 2009, shared a rare photo of the family of six on Wednesday, November 27 — one day before Thanksgiving.
“So grateful my whole family is home for the holiday. 💗🙏🏼🔗❣️,” Durham, 46, captioned the sweet image, which features her cozying up to Wahlberg, 53, at the table as their four kids — Ella, 20, Michael, 18, Brendan, 15, and Grace, 14 — stand behind them.
Included in the Instagram slideshow were more snapshots from their dinner out at celeb sushi hotspot Nobu on the Vegas Strip. The lavish family dinner included customized chopsticks, as well as several sweet family selfies — including one of Durham and Wahlberg and another shot of their daughters.
The Union star — who is originally from Boston — relocated his family from Los Angeles to Nevada several years ago “to be able to give my kids a better life and follow and pursue their dreams,” the actor told People in 2022, mentioning his children’s specific hobbies.
“So — whether it be my daughter as an equestrian, my son as a basketball player, my younger son as a golfer — this made a lot more sense for us,” he explained at the time.
While the Wahlberg family enjoyed Thanksgiving Eve together, fans had questions after the Italian Job star shared a video of himself having a turkey dinner at his own Vegas restaurant, Fletcher Catina, on Thanksgiving Day.
“Why is he eating without family?” “Where’s your family?” people questioned in the comments.
However, Wahlberg’s video already seemed to have answered those questions: he mentioned that he was with his “videographer,” daughter Ella, and also noted it was his “second Thanksgiving meal of the day” — presumably already having eaten the first with his family.
