As parents, we want to do everything possible to take care of our children and keep them safe and comfortable. This is not only true for those of us who tend to be ordinary people, it is true for celebrities as well.
Donnie Wahlberg is one of those individuals who has a keen interest in caring for his children. In particular, his stepson, Evan, is a matter of concern because he has autism. Together with Jenny McCarthy, the boy’s mother, they do what they can to provide a safe environment for him and his brothers.
One of the reasons why he is so committed to helping Evan is because of his own upbringing. It was difficult because he and his eight siblings grew up on the streets in many instances yet his parents did what they could to instill love and family values into him.
That is why the musician and actor decided to become the best stepfather he possibly could. His stepson, Evan Joseph Asher is 21 and along with his wife, Jenny, they live in a comfortable environment that provides plenty of what the family needs.
Wahlberg grew up in Boston Massachusetts in a rough neighborhood and money was not easy to come by. They wouldn’t go to the doctor when they got sick and they just lived with what they had.
At the same time, his parents did what they could to teach him lessons that he could carry with him for the rest of his life. This helped to influence his choices, including how he would take care of Evan.
Living with eight other siblings was not easy for him, especially during the holidays. There were times when it was difficult for them to have anything, yet one of his fondest memories was waiting with his siblings for the parents to come out and let them know they could go downstairs.
Wahlberg and his wife also have a true love story, and it is one that seems to be written in the stars. They have a blended family and it works very well for them.
This is especially true when it comes to their home. They have plenty of room for everyone in the family and they enjoy being together. They even work together to renovate the home room by room.
It is a large home, to say the least, but they also live in an area that is surrounded by nature. Doing so allows them to care for Evan, who is autistic.
Providing this type of environment has been a joy for Donnie and the entire family. We wish them many years of happiness together.
