Mark Wahlberg’s Son Benjamin Is 18—and His Resemblance to His Famous Dad Is Hard to Miss

Mark Wahlberg‘s son Benjamin just turned 18, and he could be the actor’s twin.

The Boston-bred actor, 55, who is best known for roles in beloved films like Boogie Nights, The Departed, Ted, and The Fighter, also has a brood of four children with his wife, Rhea Durham. In a sweet new photo posted by Durham, the couple’s son Benjamin hit the big 18 and made it clear that he’s his father’s lookalike. Durham also included a throwback photo of a young Benjamin, showing just how far he’s come.

“My baby boy is 18!! I can’t believe it! You have always made me laugh so hard with your wit and dry sense of humor. 🤣,” Durham shared. “I love our scary movie nights and watching football together. I’m so proud of you and the young man you are becoming. I love you forever and always Benny 🥰🙏🏼🫶🏼🌞🎂🎈🎁💙.”

Wahlberg Would Love to Double Date With Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson

A true New Englander, last year Wahlberg opened up to the TMZ cameras when asked if he’d be willing to head out on a double date with his wife and legendary former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, 74, and his 25-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson.

Wahlberg, a lifelong Pats fan, had nothing but love for Belichick, who coached the team for 24 seasons before leaving in 2024. He is now the head football coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“If Bill wants to go to dinner with his girlfriend and my wife, that’s no problem,” Wahlberg told TMZ when they asked if he’d double with Bill and Jordon. “But I want to play Bill in a movie,” he shared. “The greatest coach of all time, come on! The greatest coach of all time.”

Wahlberg Has Mentioned His Belichick Aspirations Before

This isn’t the first time that Wahlberg has mentioned his goal of playing Belichick. Back in 2022, on the heels of Tom Brady‘s retirement announcement, Wahlberg told Variety that he would “love to play New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.”

Even Pats alum Julian Edelman gave his blessing to the idea on social media. However, Wahlberg seems to realize that he won’t be playing Brady anytime soon.

“I could play his uncle,” said Wahlberg.

Of course, Wahlberg would still love to work with Brady in another capacity, he shared earlier this week during an appearance on ESPN’s First Take.
