Mark Wahlberg looked dapper as he joined his family in celebrating the confirmation of his youngest daughter, Grace, on March 31. The A-lister was pictured with Grace, his wife, Rhea Durham, a family friend, and a priest, who confirmed the 16-year-old in the Catholic tradition.
He wore a gray polo, black trousers and brown shoes for the occasion, and sported a thick beard and mustache. By his side, Grace wore a floor-length white floral dress with a white cardigan over the top, and Rhea stunned in a yellow shift dress that fell above her knees.
“Congratulations on your confirmation Grace Margaret Bernadette Wahlberg,” the proud mother wrote on Instagram, alongside several photos from the special day. The family are staunch Catholics, and Mark often shares insights into his faith with fans on social media.

In the carousel, Grace was also pictured with her older brothers, Michael, 20, and Brendan, 17, and Michael’s girlfriend, Sunni. Mark and Rhea, who married in 2009 after eight years of dating, also share their 22-year-old daughter, Ella, who studies at Clemson University in South Carolina.
While Mark appears to be growing out his beard again after going clean-shaven for several weeks now, he is no stranger to undergoing a major hair transformation overnight.
Mark’s hair was shaved into an unusual style for the 2025 flick Flight Risk, with the film’s hairstylist leaving the sides untouched and the top shaved off. “There was no bald cap. I shaved the middle and left the horseshoe around the sides. We just shaved it,” he told People.

“They would shave the top as close to the scalp as possible every day, obviously, because we didn’t have any stubble or anything. So I just hid it with a hat.”

“But the most priceless thing was seeing my wife’s face when I took my hat off after getting the haircut for work that day,” he quipped. When they aren’t surprising each other with wacky hairstyles, Mark and Rhea are supportive and protective parents of their brood of four.
After Grace, an avid horse rider, fell off her horse in 2025 and broke her collarbone, Mark shared just how difficult it was to let her return to the sport. “She’s doing great,” he told Access Hollywood. “It was terrifying, you know. It’s a very, very dangerous sport, but she’s so passionate about it.”

“All she wanted to do is get back on that horse, no pun intended,” he continued. “[She was] just chomping at the bit and worried that we would deem the sport too dangerous, but she is so passionate [and] so dedicated.”

“I mean, for her to have the discipline of getting up at four in the morning, going to the barn seven days a week, doing whatever she has to do to care for the horses and in her training and everything,” he added.
“I kind of adopted that discipline when I became a parent, and for her to have it at such a young age.”
