Jenny McCarthy is about to become Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg.
Five months ago McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg wed, but only now is she becoming Mrs. Wahlberg.
"We have discussed it and I am ready to be Jenny Wahlberg," McCarthy told E! News during Super Bowl weekend. "I remember way back when I was Miss Independent. I would never take anybody's name, and as I get older I want to be the girl. I'm so tired of being that strong, independent woman."
McCarthy added, "I want to be dependent and a girl and a wife and domesticated. I crave it after being alone for so long. I want to be Mrs. Wahlberg."
The "Dirty Sexy Funny" SiriusXM radio host blamed her busy schedule for not being able to get through the paperwork.
"I just haven't been through the paperwork, she added. "We work seven days a week and it's not as easy as I thought. You don't just go to the DMV and take a new picture. There is a lot to be done."
So what does McCarthy's husband think of his wife's decision to become a Wahlberg?
"It should be Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg and professionally, Jenny McCarthy," the New Kids On The Block member told E! News. "She worked her a** off for so many years to be in the position she's in her career that there's no reason to put my name on the back of that."
