They’re bringing sleepovers into the 21st century.
New Kids on the Block member Donnie Wahlberg revealed on “The Drew Barrymore Show” Tuesday that he and his wife, Jenny McCarthy, sleep on FaceTime together when they’re working in different locations.
“I’m away most of the year working,” Wahlberg, 54, explained. “She goes away to LA and films ‘The Masked Singer.’ I go to New York and film ‘Blue Bloods.’ We live in Illinois.”
“But we now luxury of being able to sleep together when we’re apart,” he continued. “So whoever’s going to sleep first just calls the other one.”

He clarified that their FaceTime sleepovers don’t come from a place of insecurity and that they simply “love to do it.”
“It’s like, why not? Right?” Wahlberg added. “We’re going to miss each other, why wake up saying, ‘Oh my God, I missed you. I woke up at three in the morning.'”
“I tell her if you wake up at three in the morning and can’t sleep, just tap me on the shoulder through the phone and I’ll wake up and hang out with you for a while.”
The musician and McCarthy, 51, have been married since 2014 and renewed their vows in 2021 to celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary.
“I love you more than ever, Mrs Wahlberg. To be blessed with a partner whose goal is to make sure that I love myself more and more each day — is to be truly blessed,” he gushed on Instagram after completing their renewal ceremony.
“Thank you for holding me down, while always holding my kite string and letting me fly. You are my soul mate in every way.”
Aside from their frequent FaceTime calls, Wahlberg helps keep the sparks going by sending his wife flowers weekly.
“He’s never missed a Monday, in 10 years. He treats me like a queen,” the former Playboy model gushed to People last month.
“He’s my everything. He still gives me butterflies. He’s the love of my life,” she added.
The stars met in 2012 while guests on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.” They began dating in 2013 and were engaged and then married the following year.
Wahlberg was previously married to Kimberly Fey between 1999 and 2010. They share two sons: Xavier, 20, and Elijah, 12.
McCarthy was previously married to John Asher from 1999 to 2005, and they share a 21-year-old son named Evan.
