The Masked Singer panelist Jenny McCarthy recently opened up about her romance with New Kids on the Block star Donnie Wahlberg. She explained the secret to keeping their relationship alive after almost 11 years of marriage.


Jenny McCarthy Talks Marriage to Donnie Wahlberg

โ€œWe continue to date each other, because I think we get really complacent and it can become a brother and sister relationship real quick, unless you do the work,โ€ McCarthy told People on the red carpet at the iHeartRadio Music Awards earlier this week.

She added that she and Wahlberg like to play a game called โ€œQuestions,โ€ in which they โ€œask questions that we donโ€™t know the answer to because you already know what you think are answers to everything after 10 years.โ€

โ€œIt allows us to actually do work and get introspective and get curious about each other,โ€ McCarthy explained. โ€œAnd when you get curious about each other, it feels like youโ€™re dating again. So we always make sure we play โ€˜Questionsโ€™ to keep that curiosity going in our relationship.โ€


McCarthy and Wahlberg first met during an appearance on Bravoโ€™s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen back in 2012. They ended up tying the knot in August 2014.

McCarthy Says Sheโ€™s โ€˜Luckyโ€™ to Be Married to a Musician

McCarthy also talked about being married to a musician, sharing that Wahlberg is always singing around the house. She added that she doesnโ€™t usually show off her own voice in the same way, calling herself โ€œa little tone deaf.โ€


โ€œBut being married to a musician is one of the greatest extra cherry on tops in a relationship because you get to go to his job and itโ€™s a concert of the music you love and then youโ€™re at home and heโ€™s in the shower and heโ€™s singing a song,โ€ McCarthy explained.

She called herself โ€œvery lucky,โ€ adding that her current favorite New Kids on the Block song is โ€œCome Back,โ€ off their most recent album Still Kids.
