He continued:

“The lovingest dog mom, the most supportive supporter, the most amazing daughter, the nicest sister, the kindest caretaker, the hardest working, the most (hopelessly) devoted, the courageously courageous, the comedically outrageous, the absolute love of my life - JENNY MCCARTHY, a Happy Birthday!”

I love you, respect you, admire you, cherish you, am surprised by you, amazed by you, in awe of you and look forward to every moment with you, more and more, with each passing second. I love you! May your birthday be more than you dream it to be — as you have been more than I could have dreamed you to be! I love you!” he added a red heart emoji.

More details on Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg’s relationship

Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg have been married for over a decade. The couple tied the knot in August 2014. According to reports, the TV personality and the New Kids on the Block member met in 2012 at a joint live appearance on Watch What Happens Live.

The couple began dating in 2013. They made their first red carpet couple appearance that same year and got engaged in April 2014.

In an interview with The View, Jenny McCarthy described how the proposal took place.

“This weekend, I was sitting with Donnie ... and he went into the other room, and out came Evan with a card that said 'Will,' and he handed it to me. Then Evan ran away [and] Evan came back in with a card that said 'You' ... I just started crying, and then Evan came back with a card that said 'Marry' — but spelled wrong.”

She continued:

“Donnie came out with Evan, and Donnie's shirt said 'Me' with a question mark, holding the ring ... and he got down on his knee.”

She recalled her son’s reaction after she said yes to the proposal.

“In that moment, Evan yelled, 'I have another dad!' and it just made all of us cry.”
