“Happy b day Ella🥳❤️ 21 WOW🥳❤️ so proud of you🥰😘,” Wahlberg sweetly wrote in his caption.
Wahlberg’s costar Halle Berry recently opened up about the actor’s impressive dad skills on the set of their new Netflix film The Union.
“If one of his kids called in that moment, we’d be on a roll waiting to go, and he’d be like, ‘Hello’… He’s relentless at that,” the actress, 58, told Audacy in August. “He is very available to his children. He was talking to them all the time, all hours of the night.”
Berry, who’s a mom to daughter Nahla Ariela and son Maceo-Robert, continued to praise her costar for his ability to be “prepared” and “professional” amid his variety of responsibilities.
“He does a hundred things too, like all these businesses and stuff,” Berry said of Wahlberg. “He [is] flying somewhere and he comes back, but he comes back prepared. Like, you think somebody’s doing all this stuff he’s doing, he’d kind of be phoning it in. But he really knows his stuff. He’s prepared. And it was nice to work with people that are professional, ’cause it doesn’t always happen today.”
