Mark Wahlberg and his wife, Rhea Durham, brought their four children to the red carpet Wednesday night for the premiere of Wahlbergâs latest film, âPlay Dirty,â in New York City, marking a rare public outing for the family.
The couple, who are known for keeping their children largely out of the spotlight, appeared alongside their childrenâElla, 22, Michael, 19, Brendan, 17, and Grace, 15âat the SVA Theatre, where the premiere drew fans and fellow celebrities.
Durham and Grace coordinated in elegant black dresses, while Ella wore a flowing fuchsia pink silk gown.
The boys dressed casually, complementing their fatherâs relaxed look of a sweater, khakis, and white sneakers.
Wahlberg, 54, seemed pleased to share the moment with his family, smiling for photographs and chatting with fans on the red carpet.
Wahlberg Moved His Family to Nevada
The appearance comes after the family relocated from Los Angeles to Nevada in 2022, seeking a quieter lifestyle.Â
He told PEOPLE in March of 2024 how he felt leaving California was the best decision for his family.
âIt’s a place where my kids can thrive and do their thing and pursue their interests,” he said.
He viewed the change as âa fresh startâ for his family and was excited about the future.
Wahlberg and Durham have carefully managed public exposure of their children, though Durham occasionally shares glimpses of family life on social media.
Wahlberg Talks Family
While speaking with PEOPLE at the premiere, Wahlberg reflected on how his children now enjoy seeing him in his action roles.
â[T]hey love seeing dad swearing, kicking ass â all the things that they couldn’t see when they were kids, they’re now allowed to see,â he proudly stated. âAnd I think they enjoy those more.â
Wahlberg also spoke about how happy he was to have his whole family together.
“I’m so excited that all of my kids [are here], because my daughter’s been away at school, everybody’s kind of doing their own thing at this age,” he gushed. “I really want to just spend time with them. So it’s great that we all got to get together, even if it’s just for the night.”
