Mark Wahlberg's working on his entourage.
The actor and his longtime girlfriend, model Rhea Durham, welcomed their second child together last Wednesday, a baby boy. The couple already have a two-year-old daughter, Ella Rae.
"Rhea's very happy," Durham's publicist, Liz Dagostino, told reporters.
No word yet on a name for the little guy, but Wahlberg, 34, told People in January that he and Durham, 27, would probably name the child Michael in honor of Walberg's dad, who has called the former Funky Bunch frontman "Mike" since he was a kid growing up in Boston. The confusion (or merciless teasing/heartfelt affection) is understandable--Wahlberg was one of nine children.
Two might be a number closer to the actor's heart, however. "I don't feel a need to outdo my dad," he told People. "I have friends my age who are already grandfathers. I waited for the right time."
Wahlberg and Durham started seeing each other in 2001 after Wahlberg's split from actress Jordana Brewster. They did not meet on the underwear circuit, however, although Durham has walked the runway for Victoria's Secret and Wahlberg was famous in the early '90s for flashing his Calvin Klein boxer-briefs in a series of steamy ads.
This year keeps getting better for the former model and hip-hop star, who now gets to see a smaller version of himself running around the house and a fictional version living it up on TV. A third season of HBO's Entourage is coming up this summer. The series' main character, a hot up-and-coming actor played by Adrian Grenier, is based on Wahlberg, who is also an executive producer.
Next up for the real-life Wahlberg is the Martin Scorsese-directed thriller The Departed, costarring Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Alec Baldwin.
