This holier than thou actor claimed to move out of LA to give his family a better life in Las Vegas, but one of his past vices seems to have resurfaced now that he’s living in Sin City.

He kept it pretty much secret, but in his younger days he was addicted to gambling.

He bet on anything and everything, but finally stopped after a massive loss nearly torpedoed his marriage. Now that he’s so close to the action, he’s been unable to control his urges.

When his wife isn’t looking he sneaks off to the casino’s high limit money rooms and bets $25,000 a hand on blackjack, as well as placing six figure bets on sporting events!

Friends now fear moving to Vegas could be his downfall!

Mark Wahlberg shared in October 2022 that he relocated his family from their luxurious California mansion to Las Vegas for a “better life.”

Six months later, the “Father Stu” actor expressed that the move has positively impacted his children’s lives. Wahlberg, married to Rhea Durham for 13 years, has four children: Ella (18), Michael (16), Brendan (13), and Grace (12).

The move to Las Vegas offers perks like a shorter commute to the city’s hottest shows.

Wahlberg put his Beverly Hills home on the market for $87.5 million in April 2022, having originally purchased it for $8.25 million in 2009. He acquired a Summerlin home just outside Las Vegas for $15.6 million in July, as reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
