Mark Wahlberg has always been somewhat of a Hollywood jack of all trades. There's not really any career stone that he has left unturned. Over the years we've seen him take on roles as an actor, producer, rapper, and businessman. Before you go on thinking the 'rapper' job title was the most unusual in the list, don't forget that he also used to be an underwear model.
We have to say, we think Wahlberg was pretty lucky to score gorgeous model, Rhea Durham. He may have had the edge back in the 90s, but she has it now. She's also one inch taller than her shorter than average husband. The pair got married in 2009 after being together for eight years. They have four children: two daughters, Ella Rae and Grace Margaret, and two sons, Brendan Joseph and Michael.
