TORONTO — Rumours that Mark Wahlberg doesn’t approve of Donnie Wahlberg’s wife, actress and former Playboy model Jenny McCarthy, could be put to rest Saturday in Toronto.

The famous brothers and McCarthy are scheduled to attend the official grand opening of the Wahlburgers eatery at the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel on Blue Jays Way at Wellington St.

According to recent tabloid reports, Mark doesn’t like McCarthy and even skipped the couple’s Aug. 31 wedding.

Mark, 43, and Donnie, 45, are scheduled to walk the green carpet at 6 p.m. Joining them and McCarthy will be Paul Wahlberg, the chef behind the Wahlburgers concept.
