Why Mark Wahlberg Got Into Trouble With His Wife on Valentine’s Day

Mark Wahlberg learned the hard way about the infamous saying, “Happy wife, happy life.”
 
During a conversation with Jimmy Kimmel on Feb. 16, the Uncharted actor detailed how he almost screwed up Valentine’s Day for his wife Rhea Durham. 
 
It turns out, Rhea, who has been married to the Boston native for more than 12 years, suggested to her husband that the two should skip giving each other gifts this year. In years past, Mark explained, he would send flowers to Rhea on behalf of their four children—Ella, 18, Michael, 15, Brendan, 13, and Grace, 12—and give a huge bouquet to her from himself. 
 
This year, he scrapped his usual plans because of Rhea’s proposal, however, the 43-year-old did not take her own advice. 
 
“When I got into my bathroom in the morning, I had a card, three gifts, rose petals—I’m like, ‘Holy shh,'” Mark said on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “So, I try to figure it out. I did have the flowers coming anyway and a card, but we were supposed to go on a trip so hopefully, she’ll still go with me on the trip.”
