Mark Wahlberg’s oldest daughter Ella Rae recently turned heads with her striking resemblance to her famous father in a new photo posted on the actor’s Instagram. 20-year-old Ella is currently studying at Clemson University in South Carolina, which is quite a ways away from the family’s home in Las Vegas, Nevada. Wahlberg and his wife, Rhea Durham, frequently visit Ella, often documenting their visits on social media.
The Ted actor shared a photo on Sunday, June 23 from their most recent visit, which showed him and Ella smiling for the camera while seemingly out for dinner, showing off their striking resemblance to one another. Wahlberg, 53, affectionately captioned the post, “So proud of this young lady,” which instantly received a ton of comments from fans.
“Truly a beautiful amazing young lady! So blessed you’re to be her Dad just by the look on your face,” remarked one fan, while another noted, “How is she that grown up? Totally cute Mark!!!!👏❤️.” His wife also commented on the sweet post, saying, “Love her so much 🎈💕.”
In another humorous snap posted by Durham on her Instagram, Wahlberg is seen beside a rack of dresses while shopping. She captioned the photo, “When you go visit your daughter at college and end up in Love Shack Fancy.” Marky Mark looked unamused as he sat in a chair with tons of flowy, floral dresses in the background.
In honor of Father’s Day, Durham celebrated Wahlberg by sharing a collage of photos, featuring moments from their 15 years of marriage, childhood throwbacks, and even some magazine shoots. The carousel of photos was cheekily captioned, “💪🏻🧢👔 Happy Fathers Day to my Daddy and their daddy 💙 We Looovvveeee you! ✨🌻”
The couple are also parents to three other teenagers – another daughter named Grace, 14, and sons Michael 18, and Brendan, 15.
