Staying happily married isn't always easy, but for Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy, it seems to come naturally. Balancing Hollywood careers, parenthood, and marriage can be a challenge, but this power couple makes it look effortless. During a heartfelt conversation with Closer Weekly, the beloved Blue Bloods star revealed the secrets behind their five-year marriage's enduring spark.
Love in the Spotlight
Donnie and Jenny, two of Hollywood's most captivating figures, are no strangers to the public eye. Yet, despite their demanding schedules, they've managed to create a loving, supportive environment for themselves and their families. The couple, who tied the knot in 2014, has built a foundation of trust, communication, and affection that keeps their relationship strong. In a world where celebrity relationships often falter, Donnie and Jenny stand out as a shining example of what a committed partnership can achieve.
The Early Days of Love
Donnie, now 50, opened up about the importance of maintaining the passion and connection that characterized the early days of their relationship. “Every couple goes through phases where things can get a little routine,” he explained. “In the beginning, it’s all about hugging, kissing, public displays of affection, and constantly telling each other how much you care. But life gets busy, and those little gestures can sometimes fall by the wayside.”

Donnie continued, “Jenny and I remind ourselves to keep doing those things, even after all these years. It’s not just about the big moments; it’s about the little things that make a difference every single day.”
Putting Marriage First
For Donnie, who plays Detective Danny Reagan on the hit CBS series Blue Bloods, and Jenny, the charismatic host of The Masked Singer, their careers are undoubtedly important. However, they both agree that their marriage should always come first. “There are days when you wake up feeling a little off, maybe preoccupied with work or personal stress,” Donnie admitted. “But we’ve made a conscious effort to check in with each other, no matter what’s going on in our lives.”
This practice extends beyond the waking hours. “If either of us wakes up in the middle of the night, we always take a moment to say, ‘I love you,’” Donnie shared. “It sounds simple, but those small acts of love can truly transform your day—and your relationship.”
Advice for Keeping the Spark Alive
When asked about his advice for other couples, Donnie emphasized the importance of treating a long-term relationship like it’s still new. “People often ask me, ‘What’s the secret to keeping the spark alive?’” he said. “The truth is, there’s no magic formula. It’s about consistently nurturing your connection. You have to keep lighting that spark and feeding it with care and attention.”
He elaborated, “It’s about being intentional in your actions. Whether it’s holding hands when you walk into a room, giving each other a kiss goodbye, or simply saying, ‘I love you’—these gestures add up over time. They create a sense of closeness and remind each other that you’re a team.”
Their Love Story in Action
Donnie and Jenny’s relationship is a testament to the power of intention and effort. As parents to their respective children—Donnie’s sons Xavier, 26, and Elijah, 18, and Jenny’s son Evan, 17—they’ve created a blended family that thrives on love and understanding. Their commitment to each other extends beyond words; it’s evident in the way they show up for one another, both in public and in private.

Donnie once wrote a heartfelt tribute to Jenny on Mother’s Day, calling her “a mother, a stepmother, a momma bear to a community, the queen of our household, and so much more.” This kind of admiration and respect is what keeps their bond strong, even amidst the chaos of life.
Relationship Goals for All
Donnie and Jenny’s marriage serves as an inspiration to couples everywhere. They’ve shown that with effort, communication, and a willingness to prioritize each other, it’s possible to maintain a vibrant, loving relationship—even in the fast-paced world of Hollywood. “It’s all about doing the little things consistently,” Donnie concluded. “You’d be surprised how much those small gestures can brighten your day and strengthen your bond.”
