Previously, the Ted actor, in an interview with E! News gushed about his daughter’s love for horses, immense discipline.

“My daughter, believe it or not, is more disciplined than me," he told the outlet. "I didn't adopt that kind of discipline until I was in my 30s, and I had to do it because of work. And now, she does it on her own because she wants to be an Olympian."

Later on he revealed to the People magazine about his daughter’s strong work ethic that even inspires her elder siblings.

“She's doing things that my other kids are kind of now starting to think, 'Well, we've got to start doing something because she's got it all figured out, what she wants to do and how she wants to do it,'" he said. "And she's doing the work.”

Wahlberg and his wife, Rhea Durham, share four children, Ella, 21, Michael, 18, Brenda,16 and Grace, 15.
