Mark Wahlberg’s teenage daughter was recently hospitalized following a scary horseback riding incident.
Grace Wahlberg, 15, took to Instagram to share a series of photos from her equestrian competition in Thermal, California, this past weekend. The first photo, however, showed the “Departed” star’s youngest daughter recovering in a hospital bed with a sling holding her left arm.
“No pressure we will be back,” Grace wrote alongside the photo on Monday, Nov. 3.
The other photos showed her on horseback and walking in her equestrian uniform during the competition at Desert Horse Park.
Grace’s family members took to the comments section to share their support following her startling injury.
Her famous dad, 54, shared several praying, crying and broken heart emojis. Model Rhea Durham, Grace’s mom and the “Ted” star’s wife of 16 years, commented, “No doubt kid.”
Durham, 47, took to her own Instagram on Sunday to share some additional pics from Grace’s equestrian competition. She revealed that the 15-year-old placed in events on three different horses.
“Sometimes I just look up, smile and say, ‘I know that was you,” the former model shared in another post on Tuesday. “Thank you.”
“Things could always be worse,” Durham added in the caption. “Remember that one.”
The Post has reached out to Wahlberg’s reps for comment.
The “Boogie Nights” star and Durham tied the knot in August 2009. They later welcomed four kids: daughter Ella, 22, son Michael, 19, son Brendan, 17 and Grace.
The actor opened up about his “most important role” as a father back in 2011, shortly after having Grace.
“I want to give my kids the world, but I also want them to appreciate everything, to succeed, to be good people, to enjoy life,” he told Boston Common at the time, per People. “This is my most important role. If I fail at this, I fail at everything.”
More than 10 years later, the “Fighter” star revealed why he decided to ditch Los Angeles for Nevada and how it involved his and Durham’s four children.
“To be able to give my kids a better life and follow and pursue their dreams – whether it be my daughter as an equestrian, my son as a basketball player, my younger son as a golfer – this made a lot more sense for us,” he said during an appearance on “The Talk” in 2022.
The couple purchased a $37 million property in South Florida last month.
Still, the “Entourage” star has acknowledged that being away from his wife and kids is the “biggest sacrifice” he’s made for his Hollywood career.
“They were actually at the premiere last night, which is nice. And, you know, the biggest sacrifice with my job is being away from my family,” he told ABC News while promoting his newest film, “Play Dirty,” in September.
“So, to be able to have them come and share that and experience it and just spend time with me, you know, visit dad so I can see their faces,” he added.
As for his youngest daughter’s decision to become an equestrian, the “Flight Risk” star said that he was all for it – even if the sport does make him “nervous, anxious, [and] stressed.”
“She works out now. She’s an equestrian,” Wahlberg told People back in 2023. “She now wants to go up in meters and to be a Grand Prix Jumper. She’s got to train.”
“She’s doing things that my other kids are kind of now starting to think, ‘Well, we’ve got to start doing something because she’s got it all figured out, what she wants to do and how she wants to do it,’” he added at the time.
