Mark Wahlberg and his wife Rhea Durham seem to have one of the strongest relationships in Hollywood. They dated for eight years before they finally tied the knot and they are still going strong almost two decades later. During interviews, neither one of them discusses their relationship in depth, so it’s hard to know much about this fiercely private couple. They’re celebrating yet another anniversary, so here are 7 things you didn’t about their relationship:
7. Meeting
The couple, who started dating 2001, met in New York City. “We met in New York City, while I was doing a press junket. I asked her if she wanted to come out with me, and she said yes. Then I asked her if she wanted to come to church with me the next morning, and she said yes again. So that was our first date: St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York. I knew shortly after that she was the one, but I still had to make sure that I was able to be the man I needed to be,” he told People.
