Hey there! Let's talk about love and how to keep it alive after years of marriage. Donnie Wahlberg's wife, Jenny McCarthy, has some pretty insightful things to say about their relationship. This isn't just any marriage; it's a union built on mutual respect, love, and a little game-playing. They've been together since 2014, and their bond is stronger than ever.
Jenny, now 52, opened up to People magazine about her marriage to Donnie, who's 55. She shared that they "continue to date each other," which is a key factor in maintaining the spark. It’s not just about staying together; it’s about actively working to keep the romance alive.
Keeping the Flame Alive: Jenny’s Approach to Marriage
Jenny believes that couples often get too comfortable in their relationships, and that can lead to a "brother and sister" kind of dynamic. Unless you actively work on it, the excitement can fade. She says, "You have to put in the effort to keep the relationship fresh and exciting." This is where creativity comes into play.

One of the ways Jenny keeps the excitement alive is by playing a game called "Questions" with Donnie. It’s not just any game; it’s a way to keep the curiosity alive in their relationship. "We play this game where we have to ask each other questions that we genuinely don’t know the answers to," Jenny explained. "After ten years, you think you know everything about each other, but this game helps us discover new things."
This approach not only keeps the relationship engaging but also fosters a deeper connection. It’s like revisiting the early days of dating, where everything was new and exciting. By asking questions, they keep the element of surprise alive, which is crucial in any long-term relationship.
Music Adds a Special Touch to Their Love Story
Being married to a musician has its perks, and Jenny is quick to point out how much joy it brings to their lives. "Donnie sings around the house all the time," she says. "It's like living in a musical where every moment can turn into a song." While Jenny admits she's not the best singer ("I'm a little tone-deaf and embarrassed about it"), she loves the fact that music is such a big part of their lives.
Imagine this: Donnie, a member of New Kids on the Block for over four decades, serenading Jenny in the shower or humming a tune while cooking dinner. It’s these little moments that make their relationship unique. Jenny says, "Being married to a musician is like having a cherry on top of an already great relationship. You get to go to his concerts and enjoy the music you love, and then come home to more music."
She adds, "I feel incredibly lucky to have this kind of love in my life. It's not just about the big moments; it's about the little things that make every day special."
Donnie’s Perspective: A Partnership Built on Support
Donnie echoed Jenny's sentiments earlier this year when he spoke about their marriage. He believes that putting the relationship first is essential. "Despite everything else we do, we always prioritize each other," he told In Touch in January. "It's like holding each other’s kite strings while the other flies. We're supportive of each other because neither of us is worried about not giving the relationship everything we have."

The couple recently collaborated on the ID special Very Scary Lovers, a project that Donnie described as "effortless." He explained, "We’ve been married for 10 years and together for 12, so we have a great understanding of each other's strengths. We know when to lean on one another, and hopefully, we’ll get to work together more in the future."
Jenny’s Support for Donnie’s Next Adventure
Jenny is Donnie’s biggest supporter, and she will undoubtedly be cheering him on as he embarks on his next big project — leading the Blue Bloods expansion show called Boston Blue. Donnie will reprise his role as Danny Reagan in the Boston-based series, set to premiere this fall on CBS.
"I’m so excited to carry on the tradition, to share so many surprises, to answer some unanswered questions, and to welcome all of you to #BostonBlue!" Donnie wrote on Instagram last month, sharing a teaser trailer of the new series. "The next chapter in the #BlueBloods legacy begins. I can’t wait. See you CBS fall!"
