Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg

Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg

Jenny McCarthy thinks she and Donnie Wahlberg are "absolutely meant to be together".

The former Playboy model, 41, believes she and the New Kids on the Block singer are perfect for each other because despite their busy work schedules, they still manage to make time for one another.

Speaking during a Q&A with Boston.com, she said: "The fact that we've been able to spend as much time as we do together blows my mind and makes me realise we're absolutely meant to be together."

The couple got engaged in April and Donnie, 44, got Jenny's 11-year-old son Evan, whom she has with her ex-husband John Mallory Asher, to help him propose by having him give her a series of notes, but he misspelled the word "marry" at the time.

Jenny said previously: "I was sitting on the couch doing what every girl does saying, 'Tell me how much you love me' when he [Donnie] left the room. He and my son Evan came running back in holding a piece of paper saying 'WILL.' [They] ran out and returned carrying another piece of paper with the word 'YOU', and then disappeared and ran back in with another piece of paper that read 'MARY,' but misspelled it without the second R."

Donnie then put on a T-shirt with the word "Me" printed on it and she instantly broke down in tears before saying yes.
