Another Baby for Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham?
Limelight |
It appears as though there are no shortage of reasons for Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham to celebrate.
Fresh on the heels of their August 1st wedding, Rhea was spotted on Sunday at The Grove in Los Angeles sporting quite the baby bump.
Though no official announcement has been made, a source says the couple are expecting their fourth child.
Already parents to Ella Rae, turning 6 tomorrow, Michael, 3, and Brendan Joseph, 11 ½ months, they have made no secret of their desire for a big family.
Last summer, Mark — 38-year-old executive producer of the HBO smash Entourage — joked that “when the kids are good, we want eight or nine.”
He went on to call life in a full house “hectic…but a lot of fun.”
The actor’s rep did not respond to requests for comment.
Next up for Mark is the Peter Jackson-directed feature film The Lovely Bones opposite Rachel Weisz, in theaters on Dec. 11.

It seems Ella is quite that daddy’s girl and who can blame her!!
September 1st, 2009 at 5:09 pm
I think she’s definitely pregnant.
And what is this, Pregnancy and Birth week? So many pregnancy announcements (Duggars, Halle Berry, etc.) and birth announcements all in the span of two days.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:13 pm
It definitely seems like a new baby is on the way! Mark doesn’t look too happy to have his family’s picture taken though.
Congrats to them!
September 1st, 2009 at 5:27 pm
congrats to them she deffinately looks pregnant and as cute as can be I might ad Ella is deffinately a daddy’s girl and a little heartbreaker
September 1st, 2009 at 5:30 pm
Oh, that would be cool! These two make pretty babies.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:31 pm
They reported today on the !Hola! website that she’s expecting a girl and they had a different photo of them but she definately looked pregnant.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:33 pm
oh congrats to them!!!! they have an adorable family
September 1st, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Halle Berry’s pregnant? How did I miss that that?
September 1st, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Congrats to them! I love big families!
September 1st, 2009 at 5:54 pm
Alice: They are reporting she’s 3 mos. along on the Life & Style website.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:56 pm
as of now Halle being Pregnant again is only a rumour in life&Style Magazine but Rhea deffinately looks about 3 months prego so congrats to the family
September 1st, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Yes, Rhea is pregnant. Right before their wedding, Mark and Rhea found out they are having a girl.
September 1st, 2009 at 6:11 pm
I think Rhea is around five months right now. Their wedding was August 1st. Her beautiful dress was really loose and flowy but you can definitely make out a baby bump.
Here’s a link that takes you to another picture of Mark and Rhea and their family:

September 1st, 2009 at 6:30 pm
but after three kids already you’d think at five months Rhea would be huge cause your body streches more with each successive pregnancy
September 1st, 2009 at 6:48 pm
She’s definitely farther along than three months. They already found out the gender before they married and that was a month ago. You can find out the gender of the baby at 17 or 18 weeks, right? Some women carry small anyway even if it is their fourth child.
September 1st, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Alicia: I meant that Halle is supposedly 3 mos. along, not Rhea.
September 1st, 2009 at 6:56 pm
yeah thats about when most people start to find out the gender of their little bundle of joy but the way you carry also depends on the way the baby is laying in the womb and the mothers height taller women usually carry smaller than their short to average counterparts
September 1st, 2009 at 7:04 pm
Yeah she’s gotta be farther along than 3 months.
Anyways, here’s the link for the Halle thing: http://www.lifeandstylemag.com/

Stroller looks like a Peg Perego Pliko P3 in Papaia

September 1st, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Ooh, really?? I hadn’t heard about Halle! Yay!
September 1st, 2009 at 8:35 pm
LOL that’s funny …. I didn’t even read the headline when I seen the picture and the first thing that popped to mind was “WOW is Mark and Rhea having another baby” …..
If they are infact having another bundle of joy then congratulations to the whole Wahlberg family and I wish then the best of luck.
JMO – lol yes Ella is certainly a daddy’s girl.
If they are indeed having another little girl and Mark spends as much time with her as he does Ella I have a feeling little Ella is going to be jealous of her (I could be wrong but …. who knows) …..
I love this family!!!!
September 1st, 2009 at 8:38 pm
And oh yeah …. I thought that the reason they wanted so long to get married is that …. well after the fact that Mark wanted to make sure before he got married since he doesn’t want it to end in divorce …… Rhea didn’t want to be pregnant during their wedding. They wanted to wait until after she had Brendan …. am I remembering correctly????
September 1st, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Congratulations! Love Rhea – she is gorgeous!
September 1st, 2009 at 9:07 pm
That was quick after the last baby. Congratulations.
September 1st, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Definitely looks that way. No arguing over photographic proof.
I’m not sure but thought they were one of the celeb couples who didn’t announce and just let the pics do the talking for all of their babies. If so, that seems to be what’s happening here!
September 1st, 2009 at 11:07 pm
If Halle Berry is pregnant shes farther along than 3months. That pic they have in life and style is from july or August. I personally hope she is pregnant, because she’s expressed wanting more kids and all this “congrats on your baby!!” stuff would probably be hurtful if she hasn’t conceived.
As for the Wahlbergs, I’m glad to see that Markie Mark got his act together(didn’t he break up with her briefly?) and she seems like a dedicated parent. I just googled her, I can’t believe shes 31! With soon to be 4 kids!
September 2nd, 2009 at 12:20 am
Bieta, yeah 4 kids at 31 is a lot – but still my aunt was a mum of four at 25!
September 2nd, 2009 at 1:38 am
my mum was a mum of 3 at 24
September 2nd, 2009 at 2:56 am
Bieta- Then she’s probably not pregnant. She announced her pregnancy with Nahla at three months, so I’m guessing she’ll do the same thing if/when she does get pregnant again.
Anyway, Life & Style is one of the most unreliable tabs out there (not that any of them are that reliable!), so I’d take it with at least one entire salt shaker, if not two!
In anycase, I wish the media would lay off Halle. She’s made it clear that she had a hard time concieving Nahla, and alluded to the fact a few months ago that she is/was (depending on whether or not the rumor about her being pregnant again is true) having trouble concieving again (she said that, “My mind wants another child, but my body is saying something else”).
Oh, and if Halle IS three months pregnant, than the new baby is due in March, the same month Nahla was born. If that’s the case, I hope s/he isn’t born on Nahla’s birthday. Nahla should have her own day!
September 2nd, 2009 at 2:58 am
Oh, and as for Rhea….I think she is! I wonder why the waited 2 plus years after Micheal’s birth before getting pregnant with Brendan, but less than a year after Brendan’s birth to get pregnant with number 4?
Also, Alicia, we don’t even know for sure if she’s pregnant, let alone if they’ve found out the gender. I hope it IS a girl, though. Then they’ll have two of each.
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:17 am
She looked pregnant on her wedding day. They did not announce the last pregnancy till later om….
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:38 am
does anyone have the picture of Halle Berry? I haven’t seen it and now I’m very curious!
And WOW I didn’t know that Rhea was that young …..
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:47 am
If her and Halle Berry are pregnant that’s awesome… but in their position I would be absolutely MORTIFIED if there was speculation that I was expecting and it wasn’t true… and the paps following their every moves asking if they’re expecting. I would be very humiliated and p*ssed off, excuse my language.
September 2nd, 2009 at 4:33 am
Just because Mark is carrying Ella doesn’t mean she’s a “Daddy’s girl.” I think you guys read too much into these photos sometimes . . .
September 2nd, 2009 at 9:05 am
CelebrityBabyLover: At first Life & Style entitled it something different, then they changed it to “It’s Official”, if that means anything (as if they had confirmed it). I guess we’ll have to wait and see. In the !Hola! article, it states Rhea and Mark are expecting a girl. !Hola! is always the first/one of the first to have info on babies/pregancies. For one thing, they are ahead of the U.S. by something like five/six hours, so their news gets online faster. The only problem is you have to know Spanish to read what they are reporting.
September 2nd, 2009 at 10:10 am
Such a cute family, Mark is still so handsome after all these years!! & I think Halle is pregnant again despite Life&Style being a bad source for facts…she has had a little bump recently and I think she hasn’t announced it yet because she is so annoyed with the paps anyways seeing how they always hound her and Nahla!
September 2nd, 2009 at 11:04 am
Ooh, really?? I hadn’t heard about Halle! Wow!
September 2nd, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Trust me, she’s pregnant and the baby is a girl. Read my lips. I have inside information
I’m just a good guesser. Let me have my fun
Remember, I even told you-well not you, but everyone here- the date of Brendan’s birth- September 16th- and nobody believed me. But I was right about that.
And by ‘inside information’, I mean psychic powers that I think I possess but really don’t.
September 2nd, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Yes, she is pregnant. Her cousin confirmed that before the wedding. My son’s step-mom is her cousin..they carry the same way too…then drop that baby weight…so disgusting! JK! Congrat’s to the ENTIRE Wahlberg clan (I have a feeling Uncle Donnie is gonna make an announcement!)
September 2nd, 2009 at 6:42 pm
Wow, thank you so much for those tidbits, Josie! Oh my. Is Uncle Donnie expecting another one as well? Guess I’ll have to wait and see. Oh boy, you really have the scoop. I’m jealous
September 2nd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Well, now I’m more convinced then ever that Life & Style is wrong about Halle. Apparently they also claimed that she concieved Nahla via IVF….and that isn’t true. Halle has basically confirmed that Nahla was concieved the old fashioned way. Plus, I don’t think Halle would be able to do IVF even if she wanted to due to her diabetes (from what I’ve heard, the hormones and such you have to take before IVF in order to help you ovulate can reak havoc on a diabetic woman’s blood sugar.).
Also, I just saw that picture of Halle, and she doesn’t look pregnant at all to me. When and if she does get pregnant again, I’m sure we’ll hear an announcement when she’s three months along.
As for Rhea…I feel bad that people have apparently already found out the gender of her baby. I mean, what if she and Mark want that info kept private?
September 2nd, 2009 at 8:06 pm
celebs have no private life since the perliferartion of the tabloids
September 3rd, 2009 at 12:18 am
Courtney- Unfourtnately, that seems to be the truth.
September 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
Well, it’s really just fun speculation. It hasn’t been confirmed yet anyway. But the baby will definitely be a Boy or a Girl
September 3rd, 2009 at 1:24 am
Alicia- LOL! Good point!
September 3rd, 2009 at 1:37 am
sdfsd – Mark himself has said on numerous talk shows (including late night talk shows – Jay Leno, Conan O’Brian) that Ella is very much a daddy’s girl, his little sidekick. And that she has him wrapped around her little finger lol ….. those were HIS words
Josie – I’m nosey and I’ll bite … what kind of announcement is Donnie going to be making?? Give us a hint at least.
ALSO does anyone have a picture of Rhea and Mark’s wedding picture/s? I haven’t seen them yet but I know that they’re some out there.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:07 am
Mark just confirmed today to US magazine that he and Rhea are expecting again.

Bancie1031- I’m guessing that Josie means that she thinks Donnie might be the one to announce that Rhea and Mark are expecting again, if indeed that is the case (which it definently seems to be!).
September 4th, 2009 at 8:08 am
Alicia, Mark did not confirm anything. The way that article is written means the magazine confirmed through their own sources.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:42 am
Alicia – thanks for the link to the pictures
CelebBabyLover – that makes sense
September 26th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Has a picture of baby Brendan ever been relesed? Just wondering. Cute family.
