Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy enjoy sweet date night out at the iHeart Radio Awards

Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy proved their romance is as strong as ever as they stepped out for a glamorous date night at the iHeartRadio Awards, delighting fans with a series of affectionate moments on the red carpet.

The loved-up couple couldn’t keep their hands or eyes off each other as they posed for photographers, with Donnie leaning in to plant a sweet kiss on Jenny’s cheek in one particularly heartwarming moment. Jenny beamed in response, clearly soaking up the attention from her husband as the pair shared a playful exchange under the flashing lights.

For the star-studded evening, Jenny turned heads in a sleek, one-shoulder black gown featuring a daring thigh-high slit and subtle cut-out detailing at the waist. She paired the look with towering black heels and a statement crystal-embellished clutch, adding just the right amount of sparkle to her polished ensemble.

Her blonde hair fell in soft, glossy waves, while her makeup, glowing skin, defined eyes, and a nude lip, enhanced her signature red carpet glamour.

Meanwhile, Donnie opted for a sharp, modern take on classic tailoring, wearing a black suit with a subtly striped shirt and statement red-tinted sunglasses that added an edgy twist to his look. With one hand casually tucked into his pocket and the other wrapped around Jenny, the actor exuded effortless confidence.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2014, have long been known for their playful, affectionate dynamic, often sharing glimpses of their relationship with fans both on and off the red carpet. Their appearance at the iHeartRadio Awards was no exception, offering a reminder of their enduring chemistry more than a decade into their marriage.

During LIVE with Kelly and Mark on January 6, Jenny outlined just what about him makes it tick.

“First of all, he is the nicest human being you’ll ever meet,” she stated on the show, to which hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos concurred, citing people often not realizing how kind he can be until they work with him.

She further added he “treats me like a queen, communicates, loves me, he is absolutely what you would call textbook truly perfect,” although when Kelly sensed a “but,” Jenny corrected her and said it was more of an “and,” revealing that there might be some “challenges” there – specifically in the bedroom.

“To be blunt, snoring,” the Masked Singer judge laid bare, which Kelly could relate to, as she pointed out to her and the rest of the studio audience that her husband and co-host Mark “also took up snoring.”

Jenny did mention, though, that they’d found a solution through it, involving white noise (“ocean waves” specifically) playing through large headphones, and a wall of pillows built up between herself and her husband that he calls the “great wall of China” for their bedroom.
