Wahlberg welcomes new child

Mark Wahlberg has become a father for the third time after the star's fiancee Rhea Durham gave birth to a baby boy.

The couple already have a four-year-old daughter, Ella, as well as two-year-old Michael. The third child has yet to be named, according to Us Magazine.

Wahlberg has commented that the birth, which took place on Tuesday in Los Angeles, will be kept strictly private and that he will not be selling any photographs of his new son to celebrity magazines or websites.

"There will be no selling of our baby pictures, no hoopla, nothing like that," he said.

It was announced last month that Wahlberg will appear in an episode of the fifth season of Entourage - a show on which he serves as executive producer.
