Wahlberg married Kimberly Fey on August 20, 1999, and the couple had two sons together.
However, they filed for divorce on August 13, 2008, citing irreconcilable differences. In July 2013, *Us Weekly* reported that Wahlberg had begun dating actress Jenny McCarthy after meeting her on *Watch What Happens Live* in March of that year. The couple announced their engagement on *The View* on April 16, 2014, and were married on August 31, 2014, at the Hotel Baker in St. Charles, Illinois.
A devoted fan of the Boston Celtics, Wahlberg is often seen attending their games. He narrated *The Association: Boston Celtics*, a documentary about the team’s 2010 season, and co-narrated the ESPN *30 for 30* documentary *Celtics/Lakers: Best of Enemies* alongside Ice Cube, focusing on the legendary rivalry between the two teams. Additionally, Wahlberg co-owns a chain of restaurants, Wahlburgers, with his brothers Paul and Mark, with locations in Boston, Massachusetts, and St. Charles, Illinois.
