As many daughters know, the first meeting between your dad and your boyfriend is crucial. But when your dad is Mark Wahlberg, the pressure is on. Luckily, Ella, the 13-year-old daughter of the famous actor, has a boyfriend who knew exactly how to handle it.

As the actor recently recounted on The Graham Norton Show, he told Ella: “I want to meet this kid.”

“And he one-ups me,” he continued. “He brings his mom.”

It looks like all the dads out there might have a new strategy to watch out for!
