Mark Wahlberg to marry Rhea Durham next year

Mark Wahlberg will marry his long-term girlfriend Rhea Durham next August.

The 37-year-old heartthrob – who has three children, four-year-old Ella, two-year-old Michael and one-month-old Brendan Joseph, with Rhea – confirmed the pair will tie the knot in an intimate ceremony next summer.

Mark - who was in Los Angeles last night (13.10.08) at the premiere of his new movie 'Max Payne' - said: "We're talking about getting married in August. It's a good month."

Earlier this year, Mark hinted he was finally ready to tie the knot by referring to Rhea as his "future wife" while talking about his birthday celebrations on June 5.

He said: "I had a beautiful day with my kids and my future wife. We went to brunch."
Mark also revealed recently daughter Ella was "extremely disappointed" when she found she would soon have a baby brother, adding: "Ella already had all these plans of dressing a little sister up in clothes. But I told her, 'Honey, that means you'll be more spoiled than the boys.' She goes, 'Oh, daddy, I didn't think of that!' "
