Mark Wahlberg maintains that Grace’s next goal is to become a Grand Prix Jumper, but she will have to train for that. While speaking to People, Mark mentioned that among his 4 kids, his 13-year-old teenage daughter Grace is the most like him. The proud father believes that his daughter shares the same work ethic as him, and if it’s the same as his 4 a.m. club, that would be extremely hard.
