Rhea Wahlberg recently took to Instagram to share the ups and downs of working out with her husband, Mark Wahlberg, famously known for his intense fitness routine. Posting a selfie with her sister Clair Durham after a gym session, Rhea humorously admitted, “No one I’d rather work out with…except @markwahlberg, but the 3 times he’s trained me I generally throw up.”
Mark, who follows a disciplined fitness regimen that includes a 2:30 am wakeup, two daily workouts, golf, and cryotherapy, was quick to respond with laughing and heart emojis, embracing the light-hearted jab. Despite his rigorous routine, Mark recently shared that he’s found it easier to work out with a supportive community, which helps him stay motivated.
The couple, who first met in 2001 and had their first date at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York, married in 2009 and have four children together. Mark often credits Rhea for his growth as a father and husband, acknowledging her as his “rock” and the foundation of their family. “She has helped me become the man I am,” he told The Sun, praising Rhea’s commitment to family values and expressing gratitude for the life they’ve built together.
Rhea, a former model who graced the pages of Vogue and walked the runway for Victoria’s Secret, has balanced her role as a mother with humor and grace. Despite the challenges of Mark’s intense workout sessions, the couple’s shared values and deep connection keep their bond strong.
