Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg Share Date Night Focused on Faith
In a recent interview, Donnie Wahlberg mentioned that their date nights have recently revolved around their faith. At the 2026 iHeartRadio Awards, he explained to FOX News Digital that he and his wife, Jenny McCarthy, enjoy watching shows like “The Chosen” together.
“Other than events like this,” he started, discussing the awards. “Our date nights usually involve making big plans, but then we end up just staying home and watching ‘The Chosen One.’”
Wahlberg quipped, “Then I’ll watch ‘The Chosen One,’ which has become our date night lately.”
McCarthy chimed in, saying, “It usually involves takeout, and we just relax.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll definitely get takeout and sit down and eat.”

She shared how much she enjoyed being part of the 2026 iHeartRadio Awards, remarking on the presence of attendees aged around 50. “Okay, date night… this is a fun night for us! I told Donnie that it’s pretty cool to see some 50-year-olds still invited!” she said.
Reflecting on her past experiences, McCarthy recalled, “When I was on MTV, I was in my 20s, thinking, ‘Wow!’ Now, in my 50s, I think, ‘Here we are, still presenting, and you’re still a rock star.’”
The 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards took place on March 26 at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, hosted by Ludacris.
The couple, who first crossed paths in 2013 on McCarthy’s talk show, got married in 2014. They’ve become known for their affectionate and playful relationship, often sharing bits of their life on social media. Notably, they have made it a tradition to renew their wedding vows every year.
In a podcast appearance in 2024, McCarthy mentioned that they had renewed their vows ten times. She admitted to initially being skeptical about the idea of vow renewals, joking, “I thought it was kind of corny. I said, ‘The wedding is over. Just stay married.’ But Donnie felt differently.”
Wahlberg suggested that the renewal serves as a way to remember their commitments to each other, marking the passing years with meaningful reflection. “It’s something that keeps us grounded,” McCarthy added.
Looking back, she mused, “So, something good is going to happen, isn’t it?”
