I'm ready. She's been ready, but I think you know, we both come from broken homes and we want to succeed."

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."

Mark Wahlberg

Mark Wahlberg was so determined to score the lead role in the biopic Invincible that he lied to get it. "I said I played college football – obviously, I'd never even gone to college, never played high-school football," he says. But the 35-year-old actor rose to the challenge to portray Vince Papale, a regular guy who tried out for the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1970s and, incredibly, made the team. PEOPLE caught up with Wahlberg about fatherhood (he has two kids with model girlfriend Rhea Durham – daughter Ella Rae, who turns 3 on Sept. 2, and 5-month-old son Michael) and football injuries.
