Like many non-celebrity parents actor Mark Wahlberg and his girlfriend embrace parenthood and at times wonder what life would be like with a few more kids.
At least they do on the days that the two children they already have are being good.
Well, it appears the handsome actor and his partner won’t have to spend too much time contemplating what life will be like being outnumbered by kids because they will soon be living it.
Wahlberg just announced that he and his longtime girlfriend Rhea Durham are expecting their third child together. The couple already has a 4-year-old daughter, Ella and a 2-year-old son Michael. And while Wahlberg wouldn’t say when the family’s newest addition is set to arrive he did say baby No.3 might not be the last.
“When the kids are good, we want eight or nine,” the 37-year-old actor told reporters today while promoting his new film, The Happening. “When they’re bad, we [want] to stop at three.”
Not Sara Evans. The country music singer says three kids are not enough for her.
Neither is four, five, six or seven.
The newly engaged singer says once she is re-married she plans to add an eighth baby to the mix.
The 37-year-old former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant and her fiancé Jay Barker have seven children together from previous marriages. Evans has three children with her ex-husband Craig Schelske and Barker has four children with his ex-wife. But the country music superstar says there’s always room for one more.
“Jay and I would definitely love to have another child,” Evans said. “He’s just too cute. I just can’t imagine not having a baby with him.”
While she has babies on her brain, Evans says she is too busy planning her wedding to expand her family right now.
One star who doesn’t have to think about adding to his family is Vin Diesel. The actor and his girlfriend, model Paloma Jimenez, just announced that they have become parents of a healthy baby girl.
This is the first child for the 40-year-old actor and his girlfriend.
