Mark tweeted out his congratulations to the happy couple, and considering the various reports which alleged that Mark doesn’t like Jenny, it seemed as if the Transformers actor may have congratulated them so publicly just to ward off suspicion.
That said, our source went on to explain that “We all have to realize he is one of the biggest stars in the world. So, when he is home from filming he wants to celebrate moments with his family, and a birthday is very important and one of those moments.
“But he supports his brother and he is not sending these social media messages just for show, he really means the words he is saying. “He couldn’t attend because of family obligations; it is as simple as that.”
Mark’s daughter Ella Rae‘s 11th birthday is on Sept. 2, but Mark will be unfortunately be filming that day. So, the family decided to celebrate the weekend before.
