For Donnie Wahlberg, teaming up with wife Jenny McCarthy for their upcoming ID special Very Scary Lovers was a no-brainer. “She’s just as much of a fan of true crime as I am,” says the 55-yearold star. Premiering on Feb. 2, the one-hour show — a spinoff of Very Scary People, which Donnie has been hosting for six seasons (the latest installment kicked off on Dec. 15) — follows the story of infamous criminal couple Benjamin and Erika Sifrit. “Despite the dark subject matter, we had a really good time making it together,” says Donnie. Here, the actor and beloved New Kids on the Block singer talks to In Touch’s Lindsay Hoffman about Jenny, fatherhood (to Xavier, 31, and Elijah, 23, from a previous relationship, and stepdad to Jenny’s son, Evan, 22), and the rumored Blue Bloods spinoff.
What’s it like to work with Jenny?
