When it comes to their love life, Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy are candid— and not afraid to put their PDA on display, no matter the onlooker.
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Wahlberg, 55, and McCarthy, 52, who met in 2012 and married in 2014, recalled attending the Emmys shortly after their wedding, where they decided to sneak away for a few minutes. As they were making out in the hallway, Wahlberg could hear one of the most distinctive voices in Hollywood.
“We hear this voice say, ‘Get a room,’” Wahlberg told Us. “I was like, ‘That sounded like the voice of God.’ It was Morgan Freeman. He walked by and winked at us and we were like, ‘Is there a bathroom around?’”
Since saying “I do”, peeling off by themselves during public events is a common occurrence. McCarthy added that the duo still “like to sneak off at parties.”

“If someone has a Christmas party, we’re going to find the basement bathroom, take advantage of the moment,” she teased.
When there’s not a spare room available, the lovebirds like to think out of the box, and sometimes their spontaneity takes them on a quick drive, out of public view.
“And I think there was that one time where I was like, ‘We never did it in a car,’” she added. “And they were like, ‘Well, let’s do it.’ So we drove down the street just to do it.”

Whether it’s in front of the “voice of God” or in the privacy of their own car, Wahlberg says they try to “keep it spicy” a decade into their marriage.
“It’s like, treat yourselves in the good ways you did when you first started to fall for each other,” he explained. “That’s really it. That’s how you keep it alive, don’t take it for granted that it’s been 10 years now. We don’t have to do that stuff anymore. No, do it. Do all the things that showed how much you cared in the beginning. Keep doing it as best you can.”
That doesn’t mean, however, that Wahlberg and McCarthy seek out public places — or that they intended for Freeman to catch them kissing.
“We don’t want people to watch us,” McCarthy said. “We try to make sure it’s private, but it makes it more fun than the typical, your bedroom.”
For those interested in watching Wahlberg and McCarthy do something aside from packing on the PDA, the pair will cohost ID true-crime special Very Scary Lovers on February 2 at 10 p.m. ET, right after the finale of Wahlberg’s Very Scary People.
