A family photo posted by Rhea Durham has fans noting a milestone for the Wahlberg household: her and Mark Wahlberg’s 16-year-old daughter, Grace, photographed behind the wheel of a Rolls-Royce as she begins learning to drive.
A Family Carousel With One Standout Shot
Durham shared the photo as part of a February Instagram carousel of family moments. The post opened with Durham and Wahlberg at home with one of their Boston Terriers, followed by the Rolls-Royce shot of Grace at the wheel, a photo of her alongside brother Brendan, and a selfie of Durham and Wahlberg with Ash Wednesday crosses on their foreheads.
A Six-Figure Car For A First-Driving Photo
The Rolls-Royce in the photo is a six-figure car, among the most expensive vehicles you’ll see on a public road, though the post didn’t specify the model or get into who it belongs to. What’s clear from the image is that Grace is the one behind the wheel as she gets her bearings behind a car for the first time — a genuine milestone for the youngest Wahlberg child.
Grace turned 16 earlier this year, right around the age many U.S. teenagers begin driver’s education, typically starting with classroom instruction and supervised practice before working toward a full license. Families often use those early sessions to let a new driver get comfortable with the basic controls and the feel of the road before ever attempting to drive independently.
Life In Las Vegas
The Wahlbergs have lived in Las Vegas since 2022, after relocating from Los Angeles for what Mark Wahlberg has described as a better environment for raising their kids. He’s pointed out that Nevada has plenty of residential communities well removed from the Strip, and has described their neighborhood as family-oriented with strong schools. Wahlberg has said he misses parts of California, including the weather, but has consistently maintained that the move was about giving his children more stability.
The driving photo drew plenty of comments on Durham’s post, with followers calling out the milestone and noting how quickly the youngest Wahlberg has grown up. The Rolls-Royce adds an unusually luxurious backdrop to what is, at its core, a moment plenty of families recognize: a teenager getting behind the wheel for the first time. The family hasn’t said anything further about her training or whether that particular car will be part of her regular practice, but the photo makes one thing clear — the youngest Wahlberg is now officially driving age.
