Jenny McCarthy Shows Off Her Slim Figure in BTS Look at Sexy Christmas Card Photoshoot with Husband Donnie Wahlberg

Jenny McCarthy is showing off her slim figure.

Just days after she and husband Donnie Wahlberg unveiled their latest holiday card, featuring an action-figure-inspired theme for Formless Beauty, the couple took their social media followers behind the scenes of the steamy accompanying photo shoot, which saw them pose in red swimwear.

In an Instagram video set to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” McCarthy, 53, and Wahlberg, 56, could be seen bundled up on a snowy day.

But after the Blue Bloods actor playfully stepped on the camera, the pair appeared in a warm studio, where they flaunted their bodies, with McCarthy in a red bikini and Wahlberg wearing matching swim trunks. 

“Happy Holidays,” the couple, who tied the knot in 2014, captioned the joint post. “It’s here again! Jenny & Donnie’s annual Formless Beauty Holiday Card! This year’s Palm Springs Christmas Doll Box photo comes with all Holiday bundles! Visit Formless! Let’s go! ❤️🏖️☀️🎄🎁.”

McCarthy recently told PEOPLE she and Wahlberg have a “secret” to shooting their Christmas card — and achieving their six-pack abs.

“We always shoot it when Donnie gets off of tour, so he’s been dancing around on stage for the whole three months for his Vegas residency and is in great shape,” she explained of the New Kids on the Block member.

“I have to do the shoot in that window before he turns into that donut-loving cop on Boston Blue,” McCarthy added.

For her part, McCarthy said her recent mouth surgeries have affected her ability to chew on anything other than soft foods. 

“People should actually feel a little sorry for me,” she quipped. “I was pretty unlucky.”

The Masked Singer judge recently endured a series of recurring mouth infections that began with a failed ceramic dental implant. 

“I’ve had nine surgeries this year, on my mouth,” McCarthy told PEOPLE. “I had one infection that turned into another and another, and then I had these growths show up on my eyeballs.”

“My teeth were falling out, implants falling out,” she continued. “They finally had to dig into my jawbone and chipped away, and found I had a deep bone infection. I’ve been on antibiotics for a year, and have had to eat soft foods only.”

While she is now able to chew again, McCarthy emphasized that every time she thought the infection had “cleared up,” it just kept coming back again.
