Mark Wahlberg will marry his longtime girlfriend Rhea Durham after the birth of their third child. The couple has been dating since 2001 and has two children together - daughter Ella, four, and Michael, two.

Durham is currently pregnant with their second baby girl - and Wahlberg reveals they are putting plans into motion for a wedding next summer.

He tells People.com, "She wants to wait until after the baby. We've been very fortunate. We've waited and worked hard to really strengthen our relationship. We want it right.

"We're ready. I'm ready. She's been ready, but I think you know, we both come from broken homes and we want to succeed."

The Happening star is refusing to give up any details about their plans for the ceremony, but insists "it's going to be a beautiful occasion. Very intimate."
