Are you ready to dive into the captivating love life of Donnie Wahlberg? The former boy band heartthrob turned Blue Bloods star has kept some aspects of his personal life under wraps, but we’re uncovering the details you’ve been dying to know!

Donnie’s First Marriage and Divorce

Donnie Wahlberg was previously married to Kim Fey. The couple tied the knot in 1999 and share two beautiful children. However, their love story hit a rough patch, and they decided to part ways in 2008, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The divorce was finalized in 2010, following a lengthy legal battle where Kim requested sole custody of their kids. The court files remain sealed, leaving the final custody agreement a mystery.

Rumors swirled about the cause of their split, with some speculating that Donnie’s friendship with Canadian model Michelle Tomlinson played a role. However, the exact reason remains unclear.

Finding Love Again with Jenny McCarthy

After his divorce, Donnie found love again with the stunning Jenny McCarthy. The couple first met in 2012 on the set of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Donnie reminisced about their initial encounter during Instagram’s “first photo challenge” in 2020, sharing a throwback pic of the future couple.

“This was our first meeting at @bravoandy @bravowwhl — where Andy implored me to ask Jenny out,” Donnie captioned the photo. “I didn’t … however, we’d meet again a year later at her talk show @vh1 @jennymccarthy. And the rest, as they say, is history.”

Jenny later revealed that she gave Donnie her phone number during his appearance on her talk show, something she had never done before. “I went a year without dating anybody,” she told New York’s 95.5 PLJ radio (via E! Online). “So I don’t know if I was really randy or really ready. But he was there, and I gave him my number. I’ve never given a guy my number, but I was interested.”

A Blended Family and New Beginnings

Today, Donnie and Jenny reside in her native Illinois with their blended family when they’re not busy with work on either coast. With Blue Bloods coming to an end, Donnie is set to star in a Boston-based spinoff. No matter where his career takes him, Jenny will be by his side, supporting him every step of the way.
