Apparently, there is no wedding date set yet, but McCarthy is excited to plan. This will be the second trip down the aisle for both, but it seems like this one will stick. McCarthy has said that the two of them get along so well because they have similar work ethics with crazy schedules and they are both single parents. Wahlberg has two sons from his nine-year marriage to Kim Fey, which ended in 2008. McCarthy’s son Evan is from her marriage to director John Asher, which ended in 2005.
