Durham recently shared a series of captivating snapshots on her Instagram, giving fans a sneak peek into their rare and joyous summer escapades. In one shot, three of the Wahlberg kids, Michael, Brendan, and Robert, enjoyed splashing around while their furry companion looked on playfully from the deck.

The youngest, Grace, stole the spotlight in various frames, showing her love for the outdoors as she spent time with her horse in the barn and embarked on adventurous paddleboarding trips alongside her faithful canine companion.

As the family patriarch, Wahlberg also shone brightly in the snapshots. In one heartwarming picture, he posed with his 17-year-old son, Michael, and their eldest daughter, Ella, who is now 19. Another shot captured a touching fatherly gesture as Wahlberg helped Michael adjust his tie, possibly for a significant event or outing.

The Wahlberg's Move from Hollywood to Nevada

In 2022, Wahlberg made a surprising decision: he left Hollywood for Nevada. He revealed this during an appearance on The Talk, explaining his reasons for the move.

Wahlberg's move was not an impulsive one. He had been thinking about it for a long time and had put his Los Angeles home on the market in the spring of 2022.

The family's decision to leave the bustling streets of Los Angeles for the tranquil charm of Nevada has proven to be a transformative experience. Wahlberg proudly shared that the move has allowed his children to explore their passions and pursuits wholeheartedly.

The transition to Nevada has not only brought them closer together as a family but also kindled a fresh sense of enthusiasm and creativity.

He expressed his happiness at seeing them flourish in their new surroundings and delighting in the plethora of opportunities Nevada has to offer. He also revealed that he wanted to work from home to give his kids a "chance to thrive" and pursue their dreams.

He also added that he wanted them to have a normal childhood and learn about hard work and responsibility. In an interview with Christian Post in 2017, he shared that he wants his children to have good role models and mentors in their lives:

"I want you to know my support for your work to foster vocations to the priesthood because I want my children and future generations to have good priests in their lives, just like I had."

He also expressed his support for fostering vocations to the priesthood. The transition to Nevada has not only brought them closer together as a family but also kindled a fresh sense of enthusiasm and creativity.
