Mark Wahlberg’s daughter Grace is recovering after suffering an injury during an equestrian competition.
On Sunday, Nov. 3, the 15-year-old shared a series of photos on Instagram, beginning with an image of herself in a hospital bed wearing a sling. “No pressure we will be back,” she captioned the post.
Her father, Mark, 54, responded with a string of emojis — praying hands, a broken heart, and a crying face — showing his support. While the nature of Grace’s injury has not been publicly detailed, Mark has not shared any additional updates.
Other images in Grace’s post showed her riding horseback and walking in her equestrian uniform, along with an older photo of Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans celebrating a victory.

In 2024, Mark had shared how anxious he felt watching Grace compete in a horse show. “I’ve never been more nervous, anxious, or stressed at any sporting event in my life🫣 @municipal 📈🏹💯 @huntersedge 🥰🥳🏆 #MunicipalPartner,” he wrote on Instagram at the time.
A clip accompanying that post showed Grace riding her horse confidently across the field and clearing a fence as the crowd applauded. The camera then caught Mark in the stands, pacing and shaking his head in nervous anticipation as he watched his daughter perform.
Mark shares Grace with his wife, Rhea Durham, along with their other children — Ella, 22, Michael, 19, and Brendan, 17. He has often spoken about his strong family bond, once joking that his kids “love making fun of me.”
“They imitate me, give me crap,” the Play Dirty star said. “They’ll do the Boston accent.”
The Wahlberg family recently appeared together on the red carpet at the Play Dirty premiere on Sept. 24, where Mark admitted it’s becoming harder to gather everyone in one place. He said he did, however, earn some “cool dad” points from Ella after she brought friends from Clemson University to the event.
