The iconic and legendary singer turns 56 on Sunday, Aug. 17, 2025.

Donnie Wahlberg is celebrating his 56th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-actor Donnie Wahlberg (Band of Brothers, Blue Bloods, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 56th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Wahlberg, a cultural icon

Born Donald Edmond Wahlberg, Jr. in Dorchester on August 17, 1969, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Wahlberg's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Donnie hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Donnie Wahlberg as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 56.

Happy Birthday, Donnie, you're the best!
