Jenny McCarthy Reveals Romantic Gesture Donnie Wahlberg Does Every Monday That Still ‘Gives Me Butterflies’
The ‘Masked Singer’ host says her husband has done this one thing every week, without fail, for 10 years
It’s good to be Jenny McCarthy, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
The Masked Singer host and Formless Beauty founder, 51, says that she and Donnie Wahlberg, who are celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary this year, know how to keep things romantic.
In fact, the New Kids on the Block singer still sends her flowers every week, without fail.
“Every week,” she emphasizes to PEOPLE. “He’s never missed a Monday, in 10 years. He treats me like a queen.”
She adds, “He’s my everything. He still gives me butterflies. He’s the love of my life.”
And it’s not all just chocolate boxes and roses. McCarthy says she’s also enamored with the way Wahlberg, 54, loves his family so generously.
“He loves my son Evan. He loves his kids. I love his kids. They’re like my own,” says the mom to Evan Asher, 21. (Wahlberg shares sons Xavier, 31, and Elijah, 22, with his ex-wife, Kim Fey.)
She notes that getting to this place of happiness didn’t happen overnight.
“I think we both paid our dues in this lifetime, and we’re enjoying the benefits of everything we’ve learned along the way. We’ve both gone through our trials and tribulations, and we’ve learned from those so that we can be happy in our bliss,” she says.
Of course, work often keeps them apart, but she says they don’t let that get in the way.
“I start taping Masked Singer in L.A. again soon,” says the Chicago-based former model. “And he is doing Blue Bloods and is also starting his summer tour with the New Kids on the Block in June, but we always make time for each other no matter what, even if it’s just flying in to see each other for a day.”
The couple first met in 2012 when they appeared on the same episode of Watch What Happens Live. They began dating in 2013, and by April 2014, they announced their engagement. Just four months later, they married in St. Charles, Illinois, in August 2014.
McCarthy recently appeared on Live With Kelly and Mark and noted that she and Wahlberg would be renewing their vows again, like they do every year.
“Life gets so busy, and we just want to remind each other of the vows and the path and the love we share,” she explained.
