Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy Love to Watch 'The Chosen'
Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg married in 2014.
“We’ve surrendered. We really have given our life to the Lord and are just trusting the path, and honoring what we're here to do through him," the Singled Out host then noted about her and Wahlberg's commitment to faith.
McCarthy and the Blue Bloods actor, 56, further discussed spirituality with Fox News at the 2026 iHeartRadio Awards last month.
The couple — who married in 2014 — love to watch the biblical drama The Chosen during nights in together."Date night for us though typically looks like... we make a big plan, we're about to get ready, and then we say, 'Ah, let's stay in and watch The Chosen," Wahlberg dished.
Jenny McCarthy and her husband spend date nights watching 'The Chosen.'
"And then we watch The Chosen. That's kind of like date nights nowadays," he quipped. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's definitely takeout and sitting back," McCarthy chimed in.
The loved-up pair also enjoy spending night outs at big Hollywood events such as the iHeartRadio Awards. "Well, date night... this is a fun night for us! You know what I mean? I said to Donnie, the fact that we've got some 50-year-olds in the house still being asked to present is not too shabby!" she went on.
"You know what I mean? Back in my days of MTV, I was a little 20-something going like, 'Oh my god!' Now I'm in my 50s going, 'OK, we're still here, we're presenting, you're still a rock star,'" the John Tucker Must Die actress joked.
