Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham came together with their family to celebrate the Victoria Secret model’s 47th birthday on July 1.
Mark, 54, and Rhea have been married since 2009, tying the knot after they first began dating back in 2001. Together, they share daughters Ella, 21, and Grace, 15, plus sons Michael, 19, and Brendan, 16.
Rhea took to Instagram to document her sweet birthday celebration with her husband and their three youngest kids. Ella, currently a student at Clemson University in South Carolina, was not pictured, likely unable to attend.
“Thank you to my beautiful family for an amazing birthday,” the mom-of-four gushed in her caption. “I love each and every one of you, even the ones that couldn’t be here. Letttsss gooooo 47!”
The family celebrations took place at a lodge at the Gozzer Ranch Golf & Lake Club in Idaho, a luxurious country club and retreat that advertises “all the comforts of the world’s finest private clubs, but with the style and relaxed pace of classic, small-town Americana.”
Rhea shared a photo of the beautifully decorated purple cake from her kids, plus a selfie showing off her birthday outfit, a white frilled crop-top and a matching pleated maxi skirt.

Mark dropped a few heart emojis into his wife’s comments section, with Michael’s girlfriend Sunni Gaines also writing: “Soo perfect,” and other fans leaving responses like: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU BEAUTY!” and: “Happy Birthday Rhea!!! Still looking like your 30’s.”
In 2022, Mark and his family relocated from their longtime home in Los Angeles to Las Vegas, with the intention of having much more space to pursue their various hobbies while also allowing the actor to capitalize on the growing filming opportunities in Nevada.

And the former rapper was already excited about taking in some of the musical gems Sin City has to offer as well. “I saw Adele, I saw Bruno Mars,” he gushed at the time. “I’ve seen quite a few shows and been to lots of great restaurants. There’s so much to do in Vegas and it’s so exciting.”
During a previous appearance on The Talk, he shared further insight into his decision to move while also highlighting his kids’ athletic passions, revealing why exactly he wanted to move out of California.

“We came here to just kind of give ourselves a new look, a fresh start for the kids, and there’s [a] lot of opportunity here. I’m really excited about the future.”
