90 Day Fiance is one of the most popular shows on television, across all platforms and networks. It’s on the radar of even the most famous celebrities in Hollywood. Recently, Mark Wahlberg revealed the surprising reason that he watches the TLC show.

90 Day Fiance Is One Of The Most Popular Shows On Television

Since debuting in 2014, 90 Day Fiance has become one of the most popular shows on television. Even people who don’t typically watch reality television have heard of or seen scenes from the show. Most people can recognize stars like Big Ed Brown just from the many memes that have been created over the years.

All these years later, the numbers don’t lie. The franchise just finished Season 10 of the flagship show, and viewers tuned in by the millions to watch each new episode on Sunday nights. More than 14 million viewers tuned in to watch Season 10, making it the most-watched cable series on Sunday nights in January 2024.

A-Listers And Other Celebs Love TLC Show

For many people, 90 Day Fiance is a guilty pleasure. Whether they openly admit to it or not, a lot of viewers love it. This certainly explains why TLC is able to keep the train moving with spinoff after spinoff. With Season 10 in the books, the network didn’t waste any time starting up the new season of Happily Ever After, and viewers are eager to catch all of it.

90 Day Fiance also appeals to celebrities as well. Popular A-listers like Amy Schumer, Lady Gaga, and Chrissy Teigen have all confessed to being fans of the show. Chrissy Teigen went as far as to purchase Cameo videos from Usman Umar. Teigen even owns a prayer candle with Jesse Meister’s face on it.

Even Hollywood Leading Man Mark Wahlberg Watches 90 Day Fiance

Fans might not expect this, but even Hollywood leading man Mark Wahlberg watches the popular TLC show. When he is not filming action flicks with Michael Bay or starring in his next major box office hit, Mark Wahlberg is watching 90 Day Fiance at home.

However, there’s a surprising reason why the TLC show is on in the Wahlberg household. According to the Uncharted star, there’s usually reality television on when his wife is in charge of the remote.

Wahlberg said recently: “If my wife wants to pick a show, then it’s usually something in the vein of some sort of Housewives or 90 Day Fiance or something of that nature.”

Reluctantly, Mark Wahlberg watches 90 Day Fiance thanks to his wife, and that speaks to just how the franchise has been able to hook so many over the years.
