Before She Left, Amy Carlson revealed the sad truth about ‘Blue Bloods’ Star Donnie Wahlberg

Donnie Wahlberg recently opened up about the bittersweet emotions surrounding the final season of “Blue Bloods,” a hit series that has captivated audiences for 14 remarkable years. In a heartfelt interview, Wahlberg expressed gratitude for the profound impact the show has had on his life, describing it as “the greatest blessing.” Reflecting on the enduring bonds forged with his fellow cast and crew members throughout their tenure, Wahlberg couldn’t help but get emotional. Their shared journey has not only enriched his professional life but also fostered meaningful connections that he treasures deeply.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Wahlberg also shared personal anecdotes, offering a glimpse into his life beyond the screen. Valentine’s Day celebrations with his wife, Jenny McCarthy, were a topic of discussion, highlighting the importance of love and companionship in his life. The couple’s enduring romance serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment to each other, resonating with fans who admire their genuine affection.

Amidst the sentimental reflections on his television career and personal life, Wahlberg stumbled upon a delightful surprise – rediscovering old New Kids on the Block memorabilia tucked away in the depths of his storage unit. The nostalgic treasures served as a poignant reminder of his journey from a pop sensation to a seasoned actor, evoking fond memories of his early days in the spotlight.

As “Blue Bloods” approaches its final curtain call, Wahlberg remains grateful for the incredible experiences and friendships it has afforded him. While bidding farewell to a beloved show is undoubtedly a poignant moment, Wahlberg is eager to embrace the next chapter of his career with optimism and enthusiasm. With his characteristic charm and sincerity, Wahlberg continues to captivate audiences both on and off the screen, leaving an indelible mark on the entertainment industry.

Donnie Wahlberg and Bridget Moynahan are feeling emotional about bidding farewell to Blue Bloods and their sibling characters on the long-running cop drama, Danny and Erin Reagan, later this year.
While visiting The Drew Barrymore Show on Tuesday, the actors shared a clip from the show’s final season, the first half of which is airing now, that featured the Reagans poking fun at one another while sitting down for their traditional Sunday dinner.
“You cannot fake that chemistry. It feels like a family,” host Drew Barrymore said afterward. “It’s been 14 seasons, this is the final one, there’s two parts to it… How are you guys feeling about it? Because I think everybody’s really upset and sad, but also happy and satiated

“More upset and sad,” Wahlberg interjected with a laugh.

Barrymore’s cohost Ross Mathews asked, “What does it feel like, after 14 years, saying goodbye to these characters?”

“I think it’s more saying goodbye to the people behind the characters,” Moynahan explained as she put a hand on Wahlberg’s shoulder. “We’ve created such a family on set with each other and the crew — most of the crew’s been with us for 14 years, so we’ve been through a lot of weddings, births, deaths, and everything. We’ve been through it all with each other.”

This season also saw Moynahan direct her third episode of the show, which aired last month. She went on to describe Wahlberg as her “biggest supporter.” And, not unlike like an actual brother, Wahlberg said he was simply there to cheer on Moynahan, even in the face of doubters.

“I don’t remember who it was so I’m not throwing anyone under the bus, but somebody came to me early on, someone said, ‘Oh, Bridget wants to direct,’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, and? She’s gonna do it, right?'” He recalled. “It was like, do you think there’s anything that she can’t do? She’s been lights out, phenomenal, she’s so… When you do what we do, you just know, and she just stepped right in and is so good.”

“How about that!” Moynahan said in response, pointing to Wahlberg as the crowd applauded.
