Did I call it or what? I’ve been saying for a month now: “I wonder when Mark Wahlberg’s wife is going to get pregnant again?” Turns out, she was pregnant this whole time. Star Magazine reports this week that Rhea Durham is pregnant yet again… with the couple’s FIFTH child. Allegedly, she’s still in her first trimester.

It appears five children may be the charm for Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham! A source tells Star Rhea is pregnant with another child.

“She just found out in May and is thrilled,” says the insider. The 34-year-old former model and her hubby, 41, started dating in 2001 and got married in 2009. The happy couple already have a full house with Ella, 8, Michael, 6, Brendan, 3, and Grace, 2, but they’re making room for more.

“She’s going into her third month,” adds the source. Mark, who was the youngest of nine children, knows a thing or two about being a part of a big family.

As I said, I think this is perfectly possible because… you know, Rhea seems like she’s constantly pregnant. I can’t believe she’s only 34 years old and could be pregnant with her fifth biological child! Some women just have an easy time with it, and it seems like Mark is really happy with a big family, so good for them. Maybe with the fifth child, Rhea will finally get that platinum AmEx she’s had her eye on. I guess I should mention that Gossip Cop has a denial – but it’s a denial from an unnamed source close to the couple. Which, to me, carries just as much weight as Star’s report. My verdict: Rhea is totally knocked up again.

When he’s not too busy disrespecting the victims of 9/11 and/or singlehandedly saving the world from all of the terrorists ever, Mark Wahlberg is just a quiet family man. For real! At least the “family man” part. Mark has been with Rhea Durham for 11 years now, and they have four children together. I was just wondering the other day if Rhea was about to get knocked up again – she’s due for another pregnancy, isn’t she? Like Matt Damon’s wife Lucy. I can’t believe she’s not knocked up again too. Where was I going? Ah, yes. Rhea has given birth to four of Mark’s children and Rhea finally got Mark down the aisle back in 2009. They seem to have one of the most solid marriages in Hollywood (as if that’s saying much, but still). You never hear much about them, scandalous or otherwise. Until now! Star claims that Rhea and Mark do fight about one thing: money. Mark is such a cheapskate that he picks a fight with Rhea when she spends a few hundred dollars. Ugh.

Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham seem like the perfect couple – but behind-the-scenes, they’re just like any other married couple, fighting over money!

“Mark doesn’t like it when Rhea gets spendy,” an insider tells Star. Rhea, 34, who has been with Mark, 41, for 11 years and has four children with him, isn’t even a big spender.

“She’ll drop, like, $500 and it’ll be a big fight.”

With his net worth at $150 million, that way off the Mark!

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

$500 isn’t nothing, although I’m speaking from my cheapskate tunnel vision. If I had $150 million, I would let some $500 shopping sprees slide, you know? I get that it’s HIS money, etc. But they’ve been together 11 years, they have four kids, and Rhea helped build Mark’s empire in her own way. It’s time to give Rhea her own Platinum AmEx. Unless Mark has that money earmarked for “single-handedly fighting the terrorists.”

Pictures from the set of The Fighter show Christian Bale looking emaciated and sickly for his role, but that’s not surprising. Bale is known for going all out for his roles, like he did for The Machinist.

Mark Wahlberg, on the other hand, is and always will be famous for his abs and underwear when he was known as Marky Mark. But for his role in The Fighter, he had to do more than just be in good shape — he had to train to move like a real boxer.

Wahlberg began his training for this film four years ago, but the film was stuck in limbo due to casting and financial problems. Not deterred, Wahlberg kept training.

Early on, Wahlberg and his boxing trainer, Bo Cleary, made a decision about their strategy to prep the star. “Bo always said, ‘If we stay in shape, we don’t have to get in shape,’” recalls Wahlberg, 39. “And I wanted to look like a world-class boxer, not just like some actor who can box pretty good.”

So Wahlberg built a boxing ring at his Beverly Hills home. When he went away to shoot other projects, he took his trainers along. From Philadelphia (The Happening) to Toronto (Max Payne), Wahlberg immersed himself in the sweet science. “We’d get up at four in the morning and work the speed bag for an hour before he went to set,” says Cleary, 44, a fitness coach who’s known Wahlberg for 15 years. “In the afternoon, I’d bring the gloves on the set, and he’d give me six rounds and go back to work sweaty. The director would be like, ‘Don’t get too sweaty.’”

[Entertainment Weekly, print edition, November 19, 2010]

After Christian Bale signed on and the film got a green light, Wahlberg’s workouts got even more intense.

“We’d train 8, 10 hours a day,” says Wahlberg….”We would start the day at six in the morning, running eight miles to church and back. We’d have breakfast and then start training….There were times where I was like, ‘Oh my God, what did I get myself into?’” admits Wahlberg, who sparred scores of rounds with seasoned fighters. “They want to pop you, and they want you to lay down. But I’m the same way. I still got the ring in my house.”

[Entertainment Weekly, print edition, November 19, 2010]

Despite his manly image, Wahlberg says he’s just a big softy at heart who loves his wife Rhea and their four children.

“I was watching Behind the Music on Fantasia with my wife, and I must have cried five times. My wife was like, “You’re such a softy, but that’s why I love you.’ I’m just always happy to see people overcome the odds and achieve their goals….

Neither [marriage or fatherhood] should be feared. They should be embraced. They’re the most important parts of life. But you gotta do it at the right time. You have to be ready, and you obviously have to do it for the right reasons and find the right person. Both marriage and fatherhood are the best things that have happened to me.”

Mark and Rhea had three kids before they were married in 2009. But Mark’s busy schedule kept them from having a honeymoon.

“We’ve been married for over a year, but I was shooting The Fighter at the time. I flew home on a Saturday morning, we got married [that] afternoon, had a party at our house, and then Sunday morning I was back on a plane. So we’re taking our honeymoon now in the Bahamas.”

It’s a long shot, but Mark may get a second Oscar nomination for The Fighter. The film opens December 10.

Throw another one onto the pile! No, no, that was rude. Mark Wahlberg and his beautiful wife Rhea Durham have welcomed their fourth child, a little girl. The baby was born Monday evening in Los Angeles, and Mark and Rhea decided to keep on going with the nice, traditional baby names – they’ve named her Margaret Grace. Maggie Grace (you know that’s what they’ll call her) joins her big siblings Ella (age 6), Michael (age 4) and Brendan (age 1). So, now it’s even right? Two girls, two boys.

Mark Wahlberg and his wife of six months, Rhea Durham, welcomed their fourth child Monday night, Jan. 11, at 6:35 pm.

The couple had a daughter named Margaret Grace at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, a source tells Star.

Mark’s new film The Lovely Bones opens across the country later this month and the couple is on cloud nine with the birth of their baby.

The Wahlbergs, who only married last August in Beverly Hills after having three kids together, are over the moon with their fourth child and Mommy and baby are both doing well.

“Mark was in the delivery room with Rhea,” says the source. “And he cheered her on all the way. Rhea was a real trouper, and now they can’t wait to get home and be a big happy family with their four kids.”

Rhea and Mark’s three older children are Ella, 6, Michael, 4 and Brendan who is 1.

Congratulations to the happy family! I’m sure Rhea will be knocked up again in no time. I’m serious. I’ll give Rhea so much credit though – she seems to love being pregnant, and she always has a drop-dead gorgeous pregnancy, and all of their kids seem happy and healthy, so God bless.

I just wanted to bring up one more thing, just because these comments seem to be getting some press. Mark gave an interview to British Cosmopolitan Magazine to promote The Lovely Bones (where he plays the father of the murdered girl, Susie Salmon). Mark ended up talking about his relationship with Rhea, and the results were… weird.

Mark Wahlberg took his now-wife to church on their first date, it has been revealed.

The ‘Lovely Bones’ actor wanted to share his faith with Rhea Durham – who he married last August and is currently expecting his fourth child with – as soon as they met and admits it made a lasting impression on her.

He said: “We met through a mutual friend in New York. I asked if she wanted to hang out the next day and she did, so I said: ‘Well, come to church with me.’

“She was raised a Christian, not a Catholic like me. She did come – and now she’s converted.”

Mark says he and Rhea always try to keep their romance alive in their relationship by setting aside time for one another.

He explained to Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine: “I try to be romantic. Having kids means once they’re in bed, being romantic is cuddling on the couch and watching TV.

“But we do have date nights every week. I have one with my daughter and one with mommy.”

Two things are getting play. First, the “She was raised a Christian, not a Catholic like me. She did come – and now she’s converted.” Maybe he just said what he meant the wrong way, but I was under the impression that Catholics were Christians…? And secondly, the whole “I’m super-religious” thing is strange when their first three children were born before Mark and Rhea were married. I mean, no judgment, and I don’t really care either way, but don’t play the “I’m such a good Catholic” card when you had three babies out of wedlock. It reminded me of twice-divorced Jennifer Lopez’s comments about how she was so “traditional”.

Not to be crass, but I really think Mark Wahlberg is one of those Catholics who takes that whole “no birth control” thing really, really seriously. My other theory is that Rhea just loves having sex with Mark. If that’s their thing… well, more power to her. He looks like he would be good in bed. Quiet, but intense. Mm… sorry, I lost my train of thought. In case you didn’t guess it, People Magazine is wondering aloud if Rhea Dunham (Rhea Wahlberg?) is knocked up again, based on these pictures. We’ve said it before – if People Magazine is running with the story, it’s like they’re holding the Clear Blue Easy in their hands as they’re typing. Rhea and Mark already have three children together – Ella Rae, 5, Michael, 3, and Brendan Joseph, 11 months – and they just got married in early August. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that it was a shot-gun wedding, although can it still be called that is she’s pregnant for the fourth time?

It appears as though there are no shortage of reasons for Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham to celebrate.

Fresh on the heels of their Aug. 1 wedding, Durham was spotted on Sunday at The Grove in Los Angeles sporting quite the baby bump. Though no official announcement has been made, a source says the couple are expecting their fourth child.

Already parents to Ella Rae, who is about to turn 6, Michael, 3, and Brendan Joseph, 11 months, the couple have made no secret of their desire for a big family.

Last summer, Wahlberg – 38-year-old executive producer of HBO’s Entourage – joked that “when the kids are good, we want eight or nine.” He went on to call life in a full house “hectic … but a lot of fun.”

The actor’s rep did not respond to requests for comment.

Next up for Wahlberg is the Peter Jackson-directed feature film The Lovely Bones opposite Rachel Weisz, in theaters on Dec. 11.

In these pictures, Rhea does look pregnant – like, second trimester pregnant. It’s not just a weird shirt, bad posture, gas or a food baby. Knocked up again! Well, congratulations to the happy family if it’s true. This also might explain something that was nagging at me about Mark and Rhea’s wedding – I was bothered by her shapeless empire-waist wedding gown. I think a lot of Rhea’s beauty – she’s totally gorgeous – but that dress and her styling was not very good. The answer might be that she didn’t want to announce she was knocked up again, and was trying to hide a small baby bump with a bad dress.

It seems like forever, but Mark Wahlberg and his on-off girlfriend/fiancé Rhea Durham finally got married this weekend. They couple already has three children together – Ella Rae (age 5), Michael (age 3) and Brendan (age 10 months). Mark and Rhea have been “engaged” for years now, but last fall Mark finally seemed to be buckling down and getting serious about marrying Rhea, specifically in a “small, Catholic” ceremony. And yes, I realize that Rhea could conceivably be the one to be holding up this marriage, but I doubt it.

Months ago, Mark claimed that he didn’t want his wedding to become some kind of media spectacle, and it looks like he sort of got his wish. We’ve got lots of pictures outside of the Beverly Hills church, but it doesn’t look like the paparazzi were invasive. And we get to see Rhea’s wedding dress! It’s Marchesa, and I’m not loving it. The bead work looks shoddy and bust is too tight. And even though I think Rhea is gorgeous, I wish she had done something different with her hair. But it’s not my wedding, so God bless. I’m sure she was thrilled. Mark looks like he’s still drunk from the bachelor party, doesn’t he?

Mark Wahlberg has finally made it official! The actor and his longtime girlfriend, model Rhea Durham, tied the knot on Saturday, PEOPLE has confirmed.

The couple, who have three children – Ella Rae, 5, Michael, 3, and 10-month-old Brendan Joseph – were married Saturday in an intimate and romantic ceremony attended by their children and about 12 close friends and family at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Beverly Hills.

Wahlberg donned a dark suit and the bride wore a white strapless Marchesa dress with silver embroidery and a Neil Lane diamond-and-platinum cushion-cut ring complemented by a diamond bracelet and earrings. “She looked like a princess and beyond stunning. Mark looked ecstatic,” says an eyewitness shortly after the ceremony, which lasted for about 45 minutes in the church, which was decorated with candles and pink and light purple roses.

The groom-to-be, 38, spent a quiet pre-wedding moment alone at the church Friday afternoon. Wahlberg, looking happy and relaxed, sat down in the front row before returning home to his Beverly Hills home for a small gathering.

Wahlberg revealed earlier this year his plans to wed Durham, 31. “We’re talking about August,” he told PEOPLE. At the time, he had yet to decide whether he would marry in his Boston hometown. “It will be in a Catholic church somewhere.”

As for adding more children to their brood? “I’m the youngest of nine,” Wahlberg said, adding that the final count will be “however many Mom wants to have.”

Wahlberg, who is the executive producer of HBO’s hit show Entourage, will next star in the Peter Jackson-directed feature film The Lovely Bones opposite Rachel Weisz, in theaters on December 11.

Congratulations to the happy couple. I think Ella Rae was the flower girl, she seems to be part of the ceremony in her pretty little white dress, that mimics her mom’s wedding gown. I don’t see their two sons in the pics, so maybe one of Mark’s nephews acted as the ring bearer. I wonder which brother or best friend he used as best man?

On just a side note, because People put it at the end – I am so looking forward to Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones. It’s one of my favorite books, and I think the combination of Mark (as the father of the murdered girl) and Rachel Weisz (as the mother) will be incredible. My guess is that Mark will pick up his second Oscar nomination, it’s such a great role for him.

Good guy dad Mark Walhberg is said to have popped the question to the mother of his two children, model Rhea Durham. He bought her a huge 5-carat diamond ring and it sounds like he’s ready to make it official:

Mark Wahlberg… has decided to ask his longtime girlfriend, Rhea Durham – the mother of his two children, Ella 4, and Michael, 19 months – to marry him. According to a pal of the 36-year-old actor, he bought a $150,000, 5-carat diamond ring for Rhea, 29, on October 15. “He thinks it’s the right time,” says the pal. “They’ve been together for a long time, they have these great kids, and at heart, he’s a family man.”

[From In Touch, print edition, November 12, 2007]

Wahlberg has replaced Ryan Gosling as the greiving father in The Lovely Bones, (not because Gosling was too plump as I reported earlier, but because he had creative differences with Peter Jackson and was possibly too young) and serves as executive producer for several television series and films. He will appear in M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening, due out next summer, and is announced in two other films, the follow up to The Italian Job, The Brazilian Job, and as boxer “Irish” Micky Ward in The Fighter.

As Wahlberg’s career is taking off, it seems like he’s happy at home. He spoke proudly in an interview this spring about changing his son’s poopy diaper and playing horsie with his three year-old daughter. Walhberg is a devout Catholic with a rosary tattoo on his neck, and considering his faith it only seems likely that he would marry the mother of his children.

Mark and Rhea are shown at the Oscars and in photos you may have already seen at the pumpkin patch on 10/14/07. Thanks to WENN.
