In honor of Mark's special day, Grace, an avid equestrian, took to Instagram and shared insight into what sort of a dad he is. She shared a photo of Mark supporting her at one of her horseback riding competitions.

Las Vegas living

"She's just so happy there," Mark said in 2023 on TODAY."She's really thriving so I understand. Obviously, it's more difficult for moms, because when you have a child, your own existence revolves around taking care and nurturing this child and helping them grow. But you're giving life and they go off and do their thing, and hopefully, they come back and spend time with you."
The Wahlberg-Durham family has been living in Las Vegas since 2022, and are thrilled with their decision to relocate. Mark, opened up about leaving Los Angeles during an appearance on TODAY and said: "You have Las Vegas, and people think automatically, 'Oh, the Strip.' But [in] Nevada, there are wonderful communities."
Though he admitted to missing California and its weather, he added that the kids "are thriving" in their new hometown, and further shared: "I live in a wonderful community that's really faith-based, great schools. There's much more to Las Vegas than the Strip."
