During Mark Wahlberg’s career, he has created a family-friendly image for himself. As a result of that image, Wahlberg has been hired to star in films like the Transformers franchise, Scoob!, Uncharted, and the Daddy’s Home movies among others.
Despite the way that most members of the public perceive Mark Wahlberg now, the truth is that at one time Wahlberg was leading a lifestyle that was anything but family-friendly. In fact, during Wahlberg’s teen years he seemed to be going down an extremely bad path.

“I also knew that she loved me for who I am and that she was someone I could trust. Until I met her, I wasn’t ready to have a family.” “You need the right woman in your life and that feeling that you’re going to be together for a long time.”
“That’s especially important if you’re going to have children. Rhea always wanted to be a mother. She had a job, but her mission in life was to be a mother and to be a wife. We share the same values. Obviously, the physical attraction was there, but that’s not what keeps a couple together.”
