fp_3095030_wahlberg_mark_fre_060209

Making the best of an uneventful Tuesday afternoon, Mark Wahlberg did some shopping at Niketown in Beverly Hills today (June 2).

Last week, the 37-year-old actor and his longtime fiancee Rhea Durham celebrated the baptism of their youngest son with a church ceremony in Boston, MA.

The couple planned the event at St. Margaret’s Catholic Church in Dorchester to coincide with Brendan Joseph’s first birthday. It was the same church where they paid their last respects to Mark’s late father at his funeral last year.

A source tells Radar Online, “Mark’s dad loved his older kids, Ella Rae and Michael. He didn’t live to meet Brendan so it was important for Mark to take the baby to the church were his dad was eulogized. It was a very loving and moving gesture on Mark’s part.”

Mark will celebrate his own brithday on Friday.

    I have become a fan of his! He used to be such a douche bag in the MArky Mark days. A pretty decent actor imo.

    Everybody is pretty much a dipshit in their youth. Mark is a great actor and a family man so no talking shit about him.
