"The Masked Singer" host Jenny McCarthy and New Kids on the Block singer Donnie Wahlberg have been married for almost 10 years, and McCarthy recently opened up about how their marriage has remained so strong over the years. "Respecting each other, communicating with each other, being each other's friends. Finding date nights and doing the work," McCarthy told Fox News. She continued by saying, "You know that saying… your partner is your best teacher. It really is true. Anything that you need to work on will come out in your relationship. And we were both always willing and still willing to do the work when things come up. And it really is it makes all the difference in the world."
The pair began dating in July 2013 and tied the knot in August 2014. Wahlberg has two sons from a previous marriage while McCarthy has one son from her previous marriage. Each year on their wedding anniversary, McCarthy and Wahlberg renew their vows. Last year, Wahlberg posted about the tradition on his Instagram saying, "Some people ask ‘why do you renew your vows every year?’. Those tend to be the same people that also ask ‘how do you keep your marriage so new?’" He continued by saying " I’m so blessed to call you my wife, and so honored to be your husband. I thank God every day for you, and I thank you always for 'taking care of my heart' — as promised. I love you. On to forever."

McCarthy shared that another secret to their long-lasting marriage is creating a space for the two of them to be together without their children. "So you guys have a safe, quiet space to always go to, to be romantic, whether that's a closet, a sauna, or the garage. Find the place that you guys can have some quiet, uninterrupted time, especially if you have kids."
