Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham recently celebrated a great success from their daughter in her latest equestrian competition, in which the young girl left with multiple awards to her name. Walhberg made it known publicly how proud he is of his daughter and the young woman that she is beginning to become.
13-year-old Grace Wahlberg finished the day with two ribbons to commemorate the awesome performance that she put together on horseback. Her mother, Rhea Durham, was quick to take to social media to gush over her daughter’s accomplishments.
Durham said, “Last day of showing at the Nationals. So proud of you Grace and Bernadette! You guys went double clear in the children’s mini Grand Prix today and dad and I almost threw up but we made it through.”
She continued, “It’s a joy watching you sweet girl. Thank you Denise for this entire year! Starting at .70 to now 🎉🏇🏼✨💥🦅🐰🏎️ On to 2024! 🙏🏼👏🏼☺️ @huntersedge @thejumpingjalapeno and thank you to Kacie for all of your coaching and cheering! @kacieanne.eq and @markwahlberg we gotta get our nerves under control 🤪🤪🤪.”
The Walhberg family has begun opening up to the outside world in a more accessible and earnest way in recent years, and fans of the superstar actor have begun to fall in love with the way that he and Durham have managed to put family and God first in a world where chasing fame and fortune would be far too easy.
Mark Wahlberg even went so far as to get the family out of woke California, leaving Hollywood and setting up a new home in Nevada. Getting away from the hustle and bustle and constant temptation of Los Angeles was a huge step for the family in becoming closer to each other and to God.
Walhberg recently talked about his priorities in life. Will Tanner of The American Tribune wrote about that discussion where Wahlberg explained that God and Family take precedence over everything else in his life.
Marky Mark said, “Well look, when I open my eyes I have a lot to be grateful for. So first and foremost I express my gratitude, and then I have a reminder of all the things that I need to do to continue to grow to be a better person, to be a better servant of God, to be a better father, to be a better husband.”
Wahlberg continued, “I came from the whole Marky Mark thing, pulling down my pants, Calvin Klein underwear — I didn’t know if this was just the next level of exploiting me and now all of a sudden we have to lose the underwear. I was like, ‘This could be something great, or this could be absolutely terrible.’”
This heartwarming family is one of the greatest examples of a Hollywood superstar becoming a dedicated father and husband and working to become closer to the Lord. To many in America, Wahlberg has now found the real meaning of life and he is sure to be a happier man now.
