Mark Wahlberg is loving his new life in Las Vegas months after he left Hollywood and moved his family out of liberal California.
Mark Wahlberg made a major change to his life last fall when he decided to leave Hollywood and move to Las Vegas, Nevada with his wife and four children. In a new interview, the 51 year-old Father Stu star is revealing that he has no regrets about leaving the liberal-run state of California for a new life.

‘Best Of Both Worlds’
“It’s really giving the kids a chance to thrive,” Wahlberg told Fox News. “It just has the best of both worlds. I know a lot of people, when they think Las Vegas, they think the Strip. But just about 15, 20 minutes away, there’s a whole lot of other amazing areas that are all about family and community.”
Wahlberg and his wife Rhea Durham, who he’s been married to since 2009, are the parents to four children: Ella, 19, and Grace, 13, and sons Michael, 17, and Brendan, 14. In April of last year, they put their Beverly Hills estate on the market for a whopping $87.5 million, and they have since moved to a home located in the ritzy area of The Summit Club in Summerlin, just outside of Las Vegas.
