The Blue Bloods actor has reason to celebrate
Donnie Wahlberg, 55, has reason to celebrate twice over this year – with personal and professional good news.
Fans of Blue Bloods were thrilled to learn that Donnie has landed himself a new spin-off series called Boston Blue, where he’ll reprise his role as Danny Reagan. As well as this incredible career move, there’s some good news for Donnie in his home life too…
The star has a property in St Charles, Illinois and house prices in the area have risen.
Zillow reports that house sales are 3.8% up over the past year. The average home in the area sells for $282,909, but Donnie’s megamansion is, of course, more than that.
The impressive estate not only has their own golf green, but also a luxurious, child-friendly pool complete with a grotto, waterfall and slide too.

The family have made their own private nature trail too. Donnie spoke about their “little piece of heaven,” to People, saying: “We have a little trail we created just to take walks. It has a little Buddha and a fountain, and I know that means a lot to Jenny.
Donnie has two sons, Xavier and Elijah and Jenny has one of her own, Evan, so together they live in the five bedroom property.

Jenny’s decision
Speaking on Good Morning America, Jenny admitted that it was her idea to relocate to the suburbs.
“I grew up in Chicago and then my best friend moved to the suburbs, and I looked at her Facebook photos of all her kids playing and I said, ‘We have to move there’. So now we have kind of like this perfect little suburban life.”
