Mark Wahlberg and his fiancee Rhea Durham welcomed their third child, a boy, Tuesday in Los Angeles, Usmagazine.com exclusively reports.

A name was not immediately available.

Though the longtime couple already have a 4-year-old daughter, Ella, and a 2-year-old son, Michael, Wahlberg only proposed to Durham recently.

“We continue to grow in our relationship, and we have a much better chance of succeeding and staying together now,” he told Us.

“I was not prepared to be married, no matter who it was when I was 20 or 30,” the 37-year-old actor added. “Committing to making it work and all the other things that go into building a solid foundation is where I’m at now.”

And while Wahlberg and Durham are thrilled about the expansion of their family, daughter Ella “was extremely disappointed when she found out that we were having a boy — she wanted a little sister,” the actor previously told Us.

“She already had all these plans of dressing a little sister up in clothes,” he said. “But I told her, ‘Honey, that means you’ll be more spoiled than the boys.’ She goes, ‘Oh, daddy, I didn’t think of that!’”

With two toddlers already keeping him busy, Mark Wahlberg is getting ready to add a third child to the mix.

And the 37-year-old actor and his longtime girlfriend Rhea Durham, 29, may not stop there.

“When the kids are good, we want eight or nine,” Wahlberg said Monday in L.A. while promoting his new film, The Happening. “When they’re bad, we [want] to stop at three.”

The couple also have a daughter, Ella, 4 and a son Michael, 2, and Wahlberg (who didn’t disclose Durham’s due date) says having a full house is “awesome.”

“Hectic at times,” he admits. “But a lot of fun.”

In The Happening, Wahlberg plays a science teacher in the new thriller, out June 13, trying to stay alive against a mysterious and deadly phenomenon.

But the actor says his own fears are far more real.

“My fear is failing as a father, as a friend, as a son. I have a lot of responsibility and a lot of people counting on me,” he says. “And I know God has put me in this position to put back and try to create some opportunities for some others, show kids there is another way.”

One of Mark Wahlberg’s former bodyguards is annoyed at HBO’s “Entourage,” which is produced by Wahlberg and based on his life. Leonard Taylor, who worked for Wahlberg for a long time “back in the day” and is African-American, told us, “There are no black people on the show. There are no black or Latino bodyguards, like Mark used to have – it’s a slap in the face. People always ask me, ‘Why is there no character based on you in “Entourage”?’ ” A rep for the series said, “The show is only loosely based on Mark Wahlberg’s experience. There aren’t really any bodyguards, and as for being multicultural, Turtle [one of the main characters] is dating an African-American.”
