<p class="has-medium-font-size">It was <strong>Donnie Wahlberg&#8217;s</strong> big 50th birthday bash on August 17th and can we just say he makes 50 look amazing!</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">The NKOTB member was celebrated by all of his friends, family, and fans over the weekend in Chicago. His wife Jenny McCarthy planned the whole event with a Versace theme. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">She told Us Weekly, &#8220;<em>I’ll be paying this party off until I’m 90, truly.</em>&#8221; The 46-year old &#8220;The Masked Singer&#8221; judge admitted, &#8220;<em>I’m going as far as I can without filing for bankruptcy.</em>&#8220;</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Donnie called out his wife Jenny giving her the complete credit on Twitter saying, &#8220;<em>I thought I was a pretty good creative director, performer and party host — until my wife threw me and my son Elijah a bday party last night</em>. She wins! #WifeOfLife&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Donnie Gets Birthday Gifts from his Fans</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Donnie&#8217;s birthday celebration didn&#8217;t stop when his party ended. He also got to sit down and go through amazingly thoughtful gifts that his fans aka the Blockheads sent him. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Wahlberg was so moved and tweeted this message out. &#8220;<em>Sitting in aftermath of my 50th, sifting thru gifts (which I’m not good at accepting) and found one of the most thoughtful gifts ever! You may have to be a @nkotb fan, Blockhead, BH or NKFam to get it — but it so moved my heart! Personalized #confetti pieces from fans! #BHLove â¤ï¸</em>&#8220;</p>
