Celebrity couple Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg recently marked their 11th wedding anniversary with a special date night filled with love and affection. Wahlberg, a founding member of New Kids on the Block, took to Instagram on Sunday, August 31 to share a heartwarming video of the couple celebrating this milestone.
In the video, McCarthy, 52, and Wahlberg, 56, were captured sharing multiple kisses as the actress held up a “Happy Anniversary!” sign. The couple tied the knot in 2014 at the historic Hotel Baker in St. Charles, Illinois, near McCarthy’s hometown of Chicago.
Expressing his joy and gratitude, Wahlberg captioned the post, “The most important word, of the two words #HappyAnniversary, is ‘happy’. We are so happy. So grateful. So blessed.” He also thanked everyone who had supported them throughout the ‘magical years’ of their marriage.
To commemorate their 10th wedding anniversary in 2024, McCarthy and Wahlberg went back to Hotel Baker for a vow renewal ceremony. Although they celebrated with a replica of their original wedding cake, McCarthy decided not to wear her original wedding gown from Bergdorf Goodman but instead coordinated with Wahlberg in midnight blue attire.
The couple’s love story began in 2012 when they first met on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, later reconnecting on The Jenny McCarthy Show in 2013. They announced their engagement in April the following year, leading to their beautiful wedding ceremony in 2014.
McCarthy shared with PEOPLE in March about how they keep the spark alive in their relationship, mentioning their game called ‘Questions’ where they ask each other unknown questions to maintain curiosity. This effort, she says, helps them remain engaged and connected as a couple.
The couple’s 11th wedding anniversary celebration comes after years of blissful companionship, with McCarthy emphasising the importance of continuing to date each other to prevent their relationship from turning into a mere sibling dynamic. She described how playing ‘Questions’ keeps them curious about each other, akin to the feeling of being in the early stages of dating.
Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg’s enduring love story serves as a testament to their commitment and dedication to each other. As they celebrate 11 years of marriage, their heartfelt gestures and public displays of affection continue to inspire fans and followers alike.
In a world where relationships often face challenges, the bond shared by Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg stands as a shining example of love, communication, and mutual respect that have sustained them through the years. Their story offers hope and inspiration to many, demonstrating that true love can indeed withstand the test of time.
