8. Losing Touch
Despite beginning their careers together, and going on to significant stardom in the entertainment industry, Donnie and Mark Wahlberg rarely talk about their relationship which surprises some fans of the famous brothers. After Mark didn’t attend Donnie’s wedding in 2014 it was clear the brothers weren’t very close anymore and in 2016, Donnie spoke about their relationship now, stating, “Obviously we’re brothers and partners in business and our relationship is fine, but it’s different. We’ve grown so far apart, just through work and career and things that are important.”
