Mark Wahlberg's daughter keeps giving him reasons to be proud of her.
Over the weekend, the Ted actor's youngest daughter with wife Rhea Durham, Grace, 16, competed in her first equestrian Grand Prix, and had the support of her parents and siblings for it.
In addition to the avid equestrian, the couple, who tied the knot in 2009, are also parents to daughter Ella, 22, and sons Michael, 20, and Brendan, 17.
Following Grace's competition, her mom Rhea took to Instagram and shared photos from the milestone outing, in Woodside, California.
Among the photos were snaps of Grace on her horse jumping over rails, showing off her ribbons, and receiving proud hugs from her mom, dad, and brother Brendan.
"1st Grand Prix," Rhea wrote, gushing: "We are so so proud of you! Your dream came true last night! On to many more."
Fans were then quick to take to the comments section under the post and rave over it, with one writing: "WOW! So proud of her! Oh my gosh… What an amazing accomplishment!" as others followed suit with: "She's the best!!!" and: "First of many," as well as: "I love how she loves on her horses. She isn't just in for the ribbons."
Rhea and Mark are based in Las Vegas, having moved out of Los Angeles four years ago, though the latter remains working as an actor, most recently in 2025's The Family Plan 2.
While Grace makes frequent appearances on her parents' social media, with them often share glimpses of her competitions, little is known about the pair's sons and whether Michael, who could be a junior in college, is currently in university.
Their eldest, Ella, however is a student at Clemson University in South Carolina. "She's just so happy there," Mark said in 2023 speaking with TODAY, adding: "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 have gushed about the decision. Mark, opening up about leaving Los Angeles during another appearance on TODAY in 2023, noted: "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."
