McCarthy revealed how her 11-year-old son Evan helped with the surprise, which took place last weekend. Blue Bloods star Wahlberg, 44, also joined The View ladies Wednesday, affectionately kissing his new fiancee and recalling his proposal. Regarding the date of the nuptials, McCarthy told Barbara Walters, “We don’t know yet,” adding that they were considering an August 2015 wedding.

Us Weekly exclusively revealed in July 2013 that McCarthy and New Kids on the Block alum Wahlberg were officially an item. McCarthy later shared how she found love after dating comedian Jim Carrey for more than five years. “I told the universe I’m ready for love. I said bring the one. I’m not doing any more auditions,” she told Bethenny Frankel of her beau last November.
