Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg are gearing up for a big move!
After listing their Illinois home, rumors were swirling that they are headed to California to be closer to Wahlberg’s sons. When McCarthy saw that PEOPLE shared the news that the house is on the market, she dropped into their Instagram comments to set the record straight on just where they’re headed; and it’s not California.
Jenny McCarthy And Donnie Wahlberg Are Making A Big Move
Earlier this week, news broke that McCarthy and Wahlberg had listed their 7,236-square-foot St. Charles, Illinois home, with a listing price of $2.8 million. The home boasts 4 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a “private backyard resort,” and is located on a cul-de-sac.
According to the listing, “An extraordinary St. Charles estate, transformed through extensive renovations and exceptional resort-style amenities. Set on approximately 1.26 professionally landscaped acres and backing to acres of open space in prestigious Woods of Fox Glen, this stately brick residence offers more than 10,000 square feet of beautifully updated living space designed for everyday comfort and unforgettable entertaining.”
When the news first broke, PEOPLE reported that the couple was possibly moving to California, but when McCarthy saw that, she wanted to set the record straight.
Sin City Or Bust!
Seeing the PEOPLE story on Instagram, McCarthy took to the comment section to clear up any rumors about moving to California.
“Going to Vegas. Not Cali,” she simply wrote in the comment section.
And while some may think this move came out of nowhere, it makes sense since the couple has been spending more time in Vegas during Wahlberg’s NKOTB residency. While his shows are happening at Park MGM’s Dolby Live, McCarthy has been known to set up a pop-up shop for her cosmetics brand, Formless Beauty. Her pop-up has been a part of the Blockhead HQ experience, where she also does meet-and-greets.
It Looked Like The Couple Could Be Headed To California
During an interview with PEOPLE back in December 2025, Wahlberg briefly discussed a possible move to California to be closer to his sons.
“I have a 24-year-old son, and I can’t tell you how many times he’s asked me in the last two years to move back to California to be close to him,” he said. “Probably the only thing that could ever get me back to California is my two sons. And if they keep asking, Jenny and I are probably going to start going on realtor.com and figuring things out.”
Wahlberg is dad to two adult sons, Xavier and Elijah, from his first marriage to Kim Fey, and McCarthy has one son, Evan, from her marriage to John Asher.
Jenny McCarthy Often Visits Desert Moon Wellness When In Vegas
McCarthy has been known to visit Desert Moon Wellness; a wellness center located in Las Vegas. The center offers “Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, PEMF, Light Therapy, and Vibroacoustic Therapy,” according to their website.
McCarthy has made cameos on the wellness center’s Instagram page multiple times.
One recent video is captioned, “Looking for the best wellness center in #lasvegas? Found it! @desertmoonwellnesslv has it all. IV therapy, HBOT, red light beds and more. The staff is so knowledgeable and kind! Maybe I’ll see you there. I usually go mid week for my IVs.”
Earlier this year, the wellness center also posted videos with McCarthy celebrating her Formless Beauty cosmetics line, as well as promoting some of her favorite therapies.
Mark Wahlberg’s Flecha Cantina Is In Vegas
Wahlberg’s brother, actor Mark Wahlberg, also has a house in Las Vegas, as well as a restaurant, Flecha Cantina.
Mark opened Flecha a few years ago in Town Square, located on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip. Flecha offers an extensive menu of authentic Mexican dishes, Sunday brunch, a margarita menu that will keep you coming back for more, and of course, they serve Mark’s tequila brand — Flecha Azul Tequila.
Could there be some family dinners in the future at Flecha? Sounds like there could be! Welcome to Sin City, Jenny and Donnie!
