Donnie Wahlberg, best known as a member of the boy band, New Kids on the Block, is a man of many talents. Outside of music, he regularly appears in movies and TV shows and produces records and films. Wahlberg, a man with a big heart famous for his charity work, found happiness in his personal life in his forties. He is happily married to Jenny McCarthy, and his special bond with her son, Evan, touches us to the core.

Jenny McCarthy, an actress, model, and TV host, welcomed her only son, Evan, and her then-husband, John Asher, in 2002. When the boy was 3 years old, he developed seizures and other alarming symptoms. And one time, the boy even experienced temporary cardiac arrest. Evan was given different diagnoses, but in the end, it was revealed that he had autism.

“From that day on, I was not who I was before,” McCarthy said, opening up about her reaction. She began her courageous fight to give Evan a better future. McCarthy spent countless hours visiting doctors and searching for any information that could be of help. This led to growing tension between the actress and her husband. Asher got angry after being pushed aside, and finally, the couple divorced.

“It took 45 years for me to find you,” said Donnie Wahlberg about meeting McCarthy after all his ups and downs.

When he first met McCarthy in 2012, Wahlberg had already been through marriage and divorce. He shares 2 sons, Xavier and Elijah, with his ex-wife, Kimberly Fey. Wahlberg caught feelings for McCarthy at first sight but didn’t make any moves until they met again on the Jenny McCarthy Show a year later.

He asked her out, and they soon understood that their relationship was not just a fleeting romance. In 2014, Wahlberg decided it was time to tie the knot.
