Mark Wahlberg took a moment to reflect on family during his 50th birthday.

The Hollywood actor paid tribute to his late mother and thanked his sister on Instagram for celebrating the anniversary of his birth.

Wahlberg kicked off Saturday with a throwback photo of him and his mother Alma, who passed away at the age of 78 in April 2021 after facing a private battle with dementia.
