Bam Margerahas a big supporter on his sobriety journey —Mark Wahlberg.
TheJackassstar, 44, shared anInstagram videohe received of Wahlberg giving him some words of encouragement as he passed another major sobriety milestone.
“So happy for you and your sobriety,” Wahlberg could be seen saying in the short clip. “Wow, 120 days. God bless you bro, hope you and your family are well and I look forward to connecting with you soon.”
“I’ve always been such a big fan and I look forward to seeing you brother,” he added.
Margera sent his own appreciative message back to theFather Stuactor in the caption of the post, writing “thanks to mark wahlberg for the positive words! Who’s counting anymore when your happy 🤟🏻”
Margera admitted toTMZthat the pair hadn’t really known each other and had only met a few times at industry shows and parties, but he was willing to take Wahlberg up on his offer to meet up.
Earlier this week, he posted videos of himskateboardingat a skate park in Texas, showing off his tricks. He also posted avideosharing a glimpse at his fitness routine with his girlfriend, which incorporated yoga and working with yoga balls.
All the hard work appears to have paid off as Margera told TMZ that he recently got cleared to see his 5-year-old son Phoenix again and was planning a trip to California to visit him.
Margera’s estranged wife Nicole “Nikki” Boyd filed for divorce in February after separating in September 2021. She requested to have legal and physical custody of the pair’s son.
The lifestyle change is a big one for the star after facing adomestic violence chargeearlier this year. In March, he was arrested in San Diego County for allegedly kicking a woman in Escondido, Calif. He also was ordered to trial in July after allegedlyphysically assaultinghis brother Jess Margera.
