Veteran Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg was back in the headlines earlier this year with his new film, Flight Risk. After the film's release in January, Wahlberg was spotted enjoying a family vacation
in Paris with his wife and children.
Wahlberg's wife Rhea , who the actor has been married to since 2009, shared snaps of the family enjoying their trip on social media. In the caption of a photo where she can be seen snuggling up to her husband, Rhea wrote, 'One of my favourite cities and one of my favourite hotels in the world and especially nice with my man.'
