Mark Wahlberg’s hilarious story involving Kim Kardashian
The Ted star recently shared a lighthearted anecdote about his family and the SKIMS founder.
Right at the beginning of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the host asked Mark Wahlberg if he knew Kim Kardashian. After the actor responded positively, Fallon reminded him, saying, “Your family has a story involving Kim that doesn’t really involve Kim.”
“It has nothing to do with Kim but my kids,” Wahlberg shared. “I finally broke down and decided I was going to get my family, especially the kids, a dog,” recounting the events.
The Father Stu actor further talked about how he noticed a small dog in Beverly Hills and believed that it was a manageable dog for his home. “Is that the biggest the dog’s going to get?” he recalled the conversation with the dog’s owner. When the owner said yes, Wahlberg said he thought it was “perfect.”
After finding a similar dog, Wahlberg recalled saying to his kids to prepare them, “Somebody really important is coming today.” He added, “So immediately they go to my wife and say, ‘Kim Kardashian’s coming over today.’”
Mark Wahlberg stated, “My wife comes barging into this meeting. ‘Our house is a mess. You can’t have them over here with our house looking like this.’ I’m like, ‘Who? What are you talking about?’ She said, ‘They told me. The kids told me Kim’s coming over to the house.’ I said, ‘No, I got a dog,’” he shared, recalling the conversation.
“Then she got even more mad because she didn’t get to pick the kind of dog,” the BAFTA Award winner continued. “And I told her what kind of dog it was. She said, ‘That dog’s not coming in the house.’ I said, ‘Well, [then] you tell the kids when the dog gets here that the dog can’t come in the house,’” Wahlberg shared.
Talking about the day when the dog arrived, “The dog comes out of the crate, waddling out of the crate,” the Max Payne star shared. “My wife dives on the dog, basically squeezing the dog to death. And now we have six dogs in our house.”
Mark Wahlberg was on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show to promote his upcoming movie, Play Dirty. It is scheduled to release on October 1, 2025, on Prime Video.
