**Jenny McCarthy has devised an elaborate bedtime system to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep alongside husband Donnie Wahlberg, complete with industrial-strength headphones and a fortress of pillows.
The Snoring Solution
During her January 6 appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, the 53-year-old Masked Singer judge explained how Wahlberg’s snoring became a “challenge” after they married.
“I built in these insulations that really help me get through the night now,” she told co-hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. “I sleep with these giant headphones on every night.”
McCarthy displayed a selfie showing:
- Herself wearing oversized headphones
- Wahlberg facing away from her
- A massive wall of pillows separating them
“And then I built a Great Wall of China [with pillows],” she quipped. “That is like a soundproof room.”
Marriage Highs and Lows
Despite the nighttime adjustments, McCarthy praised her husband of 11 years effusively. “He is the nicest human being you will ever meet,” she said. “Being married to him treats me like a queen. Communicates, loves me. He is absolutely what you could call textbook, truly perfect.”
The Blue Bloods actor, 56, maintains romantic gestures throughout their marriage:
- Weekly flowers: “He’s never missed a Monday, in 10 years”
- Consistent affection: “He still gives me butterflies”
- Devotion: “He’s my everything… the love of my life”
Key Takeaways
- McCarthy uses ocean-wave audio through her headphones to mask snoring
- If a loud snore penetrates, she taps Wahlberg and he rolls over
- The couple’s creative solution proves effective: “I will say it works”
- Their story highlights how long-term couples adapt to everyday challenges
McCarthy’s pillow fortress may be extreme, but it keeps their marriage humming along as The Masked Singer returns for its 14th season January 7.
