Mark Wahlberg had a “proud dad moment” this week as he celebrated his and his 14-year-old daughter Grace’s first joint magazine cover.
On Friday, the Fear star, 52, shared a video of himself posing with his arm wrapped around Grace – whose mother is model Rhea Dunham – as they showed off their EQluxe magazine cover.
“Proud dad moment,” Wahlberg said as he turned to Grace and planted a kiss on the side of her head.
In the caption of the post he wrote: ‘So proud of this girl @municipal’
The father-daughter duo shot their video outdoors while spending time together enjoying the California coast.

The Fighter star looked sporty in blue shorts with a matching T-shirt, white sneakers, sunglasses and a gray baseball cap, while Grace went with black leggings and a sweatshirt with an orange hat.
Mark and Grace made the cover of EQluxe entitled ‘Stable Life Wahlbergs.’
EQluxe is an aesthetic and quarterly equestrian print publication and website, curated by riders and stylecasters who combined their love of horses with their appreciation for high-fashion and a luxurious lifestyle, according to the company website.
The magazine can be found in affluent equestrian communities, luxury saddleries, prominent events and on the EQluxe website.
Wahlberg and Durham continue to educate fans on social media about Grace’s equestrian passion, sharing photos, videos and competition results.
Photographer Shelli Wright also took to Instagram to thank Grace and her father.
‘It was an incredible honor to photograph @markwahlberg and his daughter @gracewahlberg_ for the spring cover of @eqluxe and the @usetfoundation fundraiser. Special thanks to @lisamunro22_ for making this possible, @mlferrell for introducing us and @huntersedge for hosting us for this afternoon,” Wright wrote in the caption.
The photographer then added the hashtags: “#equestrianshoot #equestrianstyle#celebrity #fashionphotographer #losangeles #markwhalberg #horsegirlenergy #horses.”

Grace’s parents regularly share updates about Grace’s competitions on social media
Last November, the proud dad opened up about Grace’s love for horses and how she’s focused on taking her equestrian journey to another level.
“My daughter, believe it or not, is more disciplined than I am,” Wahlberg said People. “I didn’t practice that kind of discipline until I was 30, and I had to do it because of my job.”
Then he added, “And now she’s doing it on her own because she wants to be an Olympian.”
Although Wahlberg and Dunham are proud to talk about Grace’s achievements, the events do not come without consequences for their nerves.
“Last day of showing at Nationals,” Durham, 45, wrote on Instagram in November. ‘So proud of you Grace and Bernadette! You guys went double clear today in the kids mini Grand Prix and Dad and I almost threw up, but we got through it.”
The competition saw the teen earn another ribbon for her growing collection.

Along with Grace, Wahlberg and Durham are also parents to sons Brendan, 15, and Michael, 18, as well as daughter Ella, 20.
The couple actually met at a press conference in New York City in 2001, and within 24 hours they were on a date together.
They eventually decided to make their union legal and were married in August 2009 at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Beverly Hills, near where they lived at the time.
