Rhea, 45, joined in celebrating her daughter's important milestone.
"Happy 14th (what?!) Birthday to our precious baby," Rhea expressed on her personal Instagram on Thursday. "We love you more than anything, keep shining like the star you are, sweet girl."

Mark Wahlberg shared that his kids don't make a big deal about his fame and only mention it when they want to go to a concert or meet someone famous. He expressed that he is proud of how well they handle being in the public eye.
Mark and Rhea expressed their happiness at seeing their children flourishing with a "typical" upbringing. "They witness the effort their dad and I put in and how busy we are managing our daily lives," Rhea told Us. "With Mark's frequent travel and four kids, it's a constant challenge to keep everyone organized. Our children observe both of us consistently working hard. It's crucial for us to instill a strong work ethic in them."
While all four of Mark and Rhea’s kids were born in California, they have since relocated as a family to Nevada.

Mark expressed his desire to work from home during an October 2022 appearance on The Talk. He moved to California to pursue acting, but his career has not gone as planned. He hopes to provide a better life for his children and support their dreams, whether it's his daughter as an equestrian, his son as a basketball player, or his younger son as a golfer. This is the motivation behind his decision to work from home.
He continued at the time: “So, we came here to just kind of give ourselves a new look, a fresh start for the kids, and there’s a lot of opportunity here. I’m really excited about the future.”
