When Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy aren't working hard in front of the cameras, they're kicking back at their home in St Charles, Illinois - and what a house it is!

The Blue Bloods actor insists their pad "isn't extravagant," but one glimpse inside tells us it's definitely got the wow factor.

Jenny gave People a tour of the home in 2019 which they have spent several years renovating. They also regularly give fans a sneak peek at their home on social media.

When they're all together in the house or entertaining friends, Donnie says they tend to all flock to one particular room. "This is the spot where everyone gathers," he said about the impressive kitchen with a huge island and succession of high-top stools.

Of course, living almost lakeside means they spend a lot of time outdoors too. In the clip Jenny shared on Instagram, the kids could also be seen throwing themselves down an enormous slip and slide in their front yard and playing in the pool too.

"This isn’t an extravagant home," Donnie explained. "But there is no greater symbol of our love for each other than this house and how much love has gone into it."
