Jenny McCarthy Engaged to Donnie Wahlberg
Jenny McCarthy shared some big news on The View Wednesday, announcing that she is engaged to actor/singer Donnie Wahlberg.
“I just got engaged!” McCarthy exclaimed while revealing her yellow sapphire engagement ring. The former Playboy model shared how Wahlberg popped the question last weekend with the help of her 11-year-old son Evan, who presented her with separate notecards with the words “Will You Marry.” Then Wahlberg walked in wearing a shirt that said “Me?” on it.
“Of course I said ‘yes,’” McCarthy stated, adding that her son is very excited about the engagement. “In that moment Evan yelled, ‘I have another dad!’ and it made all of us cry.”
Wahlberg himself showed up on the set of The View, causing more excitement to erupt in the studio among McCarthy’s co-hosts and the studio audience.
It will be the second marriage for both. McCarthy was previously married to director John Asher, which ended in divorce in 2005. Wahlberg has two sons from his nine-year marriage to Kim Fey, which resulted in divorce in 2008.
A date for the wedding has yet to be set.
