Mark Wahlberg Cuddles Close with Ella

Most Wanted Pictures

Mark Wahlberg kept 5-year-old daughter Ella Rae close to his heart while arriving at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. last week. Mark and his fiancée, model Rhea Durham, are also parents to  Michael, 2 ½, and Brendan Joseph, 3 months.

Mark recently shared that he and Rhea plan to leave the Los Angeles area eventually, because he believes it's a less-than-ideal place for children to grow up.

"We won't stay there forever but it's very difficult to raise normal kids in an environment like that. And I was thinking there's no real role models for girls. You've got Britney Spears, you've got Paris Hilton; they're nice enough people but I don't want my daughter to aspire to be like that."
