Fate may have played a major role in Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg’s successful Hollywood marriage.

“The Masked Singer” judge told Fox News Digital there were a few things her husband did that really “sealed the deal” for her in their relationship.

McCarthy also revealed they were destined for one another from the get-go, with their romance being “written in the stars.”

The former Playboy model told Fox News Digital on the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet that their love started with a psychic prediction.

During the time McCarthy hosted her talk show on VH1, she had a guest psychic who predicted her future with the “Blue Bloods” star.

McCarthy explained that she went to go see an astrologer afterward, who had a similar prediction and told her, “’You are. You’re actually going to get engaged in this month and married in this month,’ and they were right!”

The couple began dating in July 2013 and tied the knot in August 2014. The two both have children from previous relationships. Wahlberg has two sons with his ex-wife, Kimberly Fey, and McCarthy has one son with her ex-husband, John Asher.

“I decided the first year to do it as a surprise, and I thought it would be fun… good and something she wouldn’t expect,” Wahlberg told Fox News Digital in October. “When we did it, it was so powerful and so emotional for us that then I decided we should do it every year. The thing was, I didn’t always let her know about it, so I spent nine years surprising her.” 

However, for the couple’s 10th wedding anniversary in August, they were both in on it.

“We did it at the place we were married. We renewed our vows with our minister,” McCarthy said.

“In the same room, in the same spot,” Wahlberg chimed in.

“It really is like a reboot. Like we shut down our phone to reboot it. We upgrade our phone. This, to me, our renewals feel like an upgrade every time we do it,” she continued.”To be able to do it again with what we know now and 10 years under our belt… to just be in that space of honesty and vulnerability with each other, it’s really a profound thing to do,” Wahlberg noted.
