Jenny McCarthy Recalls ‘Asking a Psychic’ If She’d Marry Donnie Wahlberg After He Was Given Her Number but Didn’t Call for 2 Weeks

Jenny McCarthy’s Journey to Finding Love with Donnie Wahlberg

In a recent podcast episode of Jennie Garth’s I Choose Me, Jenny McCarthy, the 52-year-old television personality, reminisced about the unconventional path that led her to meet her now-husband, Donnie Wahlberg. Their love story began on the set of Andy Cohen’s show Watch What Happens Live in 2012 when Wahlberg appeared as a guest. McCarthy initially believed Wahlberg was married and refrained from flirting with him. Little did she know, fate had other plans in store for them.

Six months later, Wahlberg appeared on McCarthy’s VH1 talk show, The Jenny McCarthy Show, in March 2013. Despite initially not showing romantic interest, McCarthy found herself drawn to Wahlberg during the interview, where what was supposed to be a nine-minute segment turned into a ninety-minute conversation filled with undeniable chemistry and sparks.

After their on-air encounter, McCarthy decided to take matters into her own hands by having her assistant pass her number to Wahlberg. This bold move culminated in a nerve-wracking moment when Wahlberg waited for her in his dressing room to bid farewell. However, fate had a playful twist in store as McCarthy had to endure a two-week wait for Wahlberg to make the first move due to a misunderstanding about her intentions.

In a surprising turn of events, McCarthy revealed that Wahlberg saw a segment on her talk show where she consulted a psychic about their potential future together, even before their first date. The psychic confidently predicted that they would marry – a prediction that eventually came true. Wahlberg finally reached out, leading to their first date and eventually a proposal in April 2014, followed by a blissful wedding in August of the same year.

Over a decade into their marriage, McCarthy shared insights into the couple’s recipe for a successful relationship, revealing a unique practice they call ‘questions’. This involves engaging in deep conversations during mundane activities like plane rides or long drives, aimed at fostering curiosity and continuous growth within their relationship.

McCarthy stressed the importance of constant communication and introspection, highlighting how asking each other if there are areas for improvement in the relationship has been instrumental in keeping their bond strong. This dedication to nurturing their connection has undoubtedly played a key role in sustaining the spark between McCarthy and Wahlberg throughout the years.

As the couple celebrated their 10th anniversary, they renewed their vows at the original wedding venue, affirming their commitment to each other with the promise of “eternity to go”. Their enduring love story serves as a testament to the power of fate and perseverance in finding true love in unexpected places.

In a world where relationships face numerous challenges, Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg stand out as a shining example of unwavering love and mutual respect. Their story reminds us that sometimes, the most extraordinary journeys begin with a single unexpected encounter and a sprinkle of cosmic guidance.
