Rhea Durham (born July 1, 1978) is an American fashion model. She was born in Lakeland, Florida. She has appeared on the cover of several major fashion magazines, including French Vogue, Italian Marie Claire, and British and American ELLE and has walked in the 2001 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. She guest-starred as herself on the 2001 Spin City episode, "The Wedding Scammer." She plans to make a guest star appearance in the fifth season of Entourage.

Personal life

Durham and Mark Wahlberg have been together since 2001 and have three children, Ella Rae (born September 2, 2003), Michael (born March 21, 2006) and Brendan Joseph (born September 16, 2008). They confirmed to US magazine on September 3, 2009 that they are expecting their fourth child, reportedly a girl.1 Wahlberg and Durham married on August 1, 2009 in a private Catholic ceremony in Beverly Hills, California.2

Wahlberg has joked that upon meeting Rhea, "It was sex at first sight. I mean, we didn't have it, but I wanted to." The actor was also drawn to Durham's low-key nature. "I went out with people who would be upset if we didn't go out to a premiere to be photographed. Rhea is what I was looking for. She has really strong morals and high standards, and I like that."

Durham says she is more focused on raising her children, where she and Wahlberg use a conservative parenting manner that is similar to how they were raised as well as a reaction to the fast-paced fashion and movie worlds. In a Cookie interview, Durham said, "I love the traditions of family and home. Babies, kids, holidays—that's what I'm good at."3
