Mark Wahlberg left Hollywood for Nevada to give his kids a ‘better life’: ‘It made a lot more sense to us’ – Reuters

Mark Wahlberg left Hollywood and left the state to put his family first.

Wahlberg, 51, revealed on “The Talk” on Tuesday that he and his wife moved their four children to Nevada to give them a “better life.”

During the episode, Wahlberg opened up about how he balances his career while being a current father and husband.

“That’s the biggest challenge,” he said. “Every free moment I have, I am at home.”

The “Uncharted” star plans to build a “state-of-the-art studio” in Nevada “and make that Hollywood 2.0.” While discussing business, Wahlberg said he would like to build “a shoe factory and a factory for Municipal,” which is the sportswear company he co-founded.

“I want to be able to work from home. I moved to California many years ago to become an actor, and I only did a few movies the whole time I was there,” he said.

“So to be able to give my kids a better life and follow and pursue their dreams, whether it’s my daughter as an equestrian, my son as a basketball player, my youngest son as a golfer, that made a lot more sense to us.”

The Boston native shares four children with his 13-year-old wife Rhea Durham: Ella, 18, Michael, 16, Brendan, 13, and Grace, 12.

“So we came here to give us a new look, a new start for the kids, and there are a lot of opportunities here,” Wahlberg continued. “I’m really excited for the future.”
