Update: Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham expecting third child

Tags: Births , Dads , Expecting

Mark_walhberg180Update: Mark confirmed on Today that the baby is a boy and will arrive in September.

Update June 9th: Mark has confirmed to People that he and Rhea are expecting their third child. No due date has been given, but Mark admitted that the family isn't sure if  they will stop at three children or not.

When the kids are good, we want eight or nine. When they're bad, we [want] to stop at three.

Originally posted April 23rd: OK! magazine is reporting that actor Mark Wahlberg, 36, and his fiancée Rhea Durham, 29, are apparently expecting their third child, a son in September.

Continue reading for the entire original post.

A friend of the couple told the magazine,

Mark is thrilled to be having another baby. He is an amazing dad, and his two children are his world. He always used to joke about wanting at least a dozen kids, but it looks like he wasn't joking after all.

The new baby will join the couple's two children, Ella Rae, 4 ½, and Michael, 2.

what a lucky lady that rhea is!

Congrats if it's true! But I thought they were married?

Posted by: chris at Apr 23, 2008 11:13:25 AM

No, that picture was taken at the 2007 Oscars. Rhea has said she wanted two more kids after Ella and Michael. Yay for them!!

It's confirmed on ET online

What ET has looks like it's just a repeat of the OK Mag info to me, I didn't see a confirmation from a rep or anything?

Congrats to them, they always said they wanted a big family.

I won't trust the announcement until its not a rumor here anymore and People magazine confirms. From what I have been reading they have been engaged for 4 yrs?? I had no clue!!

Posted by: tink1217 at Apr 23, 2008 4:49:08 PM

Rhea is so pretty, if it's true congrats to them

Posted by: brooke at Apr 24, 2008 12:07:42 AM

Yes, it is finally confirmed!! I'm so excited!

Posted by: Alicia at Apr 24, 2008 1:41:43 AM

Alicia- How is it "finally confirmed"? As far as I know, only OK and ET have reported it. OK is a tabloid that is generally not very trustworthy (although they are slightly more credible then Star and Life & Style, and possibly In Touch). While ET is generally more accurate than the tabs, I still wouldn't call their report a confirmation.

I will start to seriously believe this rumor if US Weekly reports it (they're generally very reliable), and I will believe it 100 percent when People reports it.

Hey CelebBabyLover- I said it was finally confirmed when pretty much every reliable and not so reliable newspapers/tv sources did confirm the pregnancy that day. I love Rhea Durham and Mark Wahlberg so I was checking the news constantly that day.

Posted by: Alicia at May 11, 2008 12:35:32 AM

This is exciting news for them. Good for them for wanting a large family.

Posted by: carla at somethingaboutbaby.com at Jun 9, 2008 6:16:02 PM

Aliia and you were right. When multiple sources are repeating the same thing, most of the time it turns out to be true, as in this case and others too lol. Mark and his fiance are good looking, congrats to them

Posted by: brooke at Jun 9, 2008 6:27:35 PM

Last week on French TV, he was interviewed and said the third was on the way :-)

Posted by: Jo Ann v. at Jun 9, 2008 6:33:16 PM

Thanks so much .... I have been trying to find out about this! Congratulations to Mark and Rhea! Can't wait to see if they have a girl or boy.

Posted by: Bancie1031 at Jun 9, 2008 6:43:59 PM

That's wonderful! Mark looks like a wonderful daddy. I had the fortunate pleasure of meeting him and he's an absolute delight!!

And that's funny on days the kids I watch act up I swear I'm not having any and then when they do something so loving I'm like ready to have kids tomorrow. I think everybody feels like that!

Posted by: J.M. at Jun 9, 2008 8:14:25 PM

That's so exciting! Congrats to Mark & Rhea. I wouldn't mind seeing another Marky Mark or two running around =P

Posted by: Katie at Jun 9, 2008 10:24:16 PM

Mark is going to be on many talk shows this week so I hope he talks about his children and new baby on the way.

Posted by: Alicia at Jun 9, 2008 11:42:09 PM

Congratulations!! Maybe we'll spot Mark and his family at one of the New Kids on the Block concerts this fall!?! : ) Donnie's a hottie...he's a hottie...what a cool family!!!
