He’s keeping it in the family.

“Blue Bloods” star Donnie Wahlberg said he took some props from the set and is using them for his real-life family business.

“I took my two Danny Reagan costumes — my blue suit and my dress blues,” the actor and singer, 55, told People.

“I put them on mannequins and put them in a Wahlburgers,” he added, referring to the burger chain that he owns with his brothers, Mark and Paul.

Wahlberg said that he later learned that a more iconic prop was up for grabs.

“I really had no intention of taking anything from the set until I learned that that table and chairs was just sitting in a warehouse somewhere,” he explained.

“Blue Bloods” first premiered in 2010, and follows the Reagan family, including New York Police Department Police Commissioner Frank (Tom Selleck) and his son, NYPD detective Danny (Wahlberg). 

Wahlberg said that he plans to rotate the iconic dining set – including a table and chairs – between Wahlburgers locations. He’ll begin in St. Charles, Ill., where he lives with his wife, former “The View” host Jenny McCarthy, 52. 

“I’ll set it up where fans can sit at the table and take pictures,” he explained. “And then I’m going to raffle it probably for charity for the DEA, the Detectives Endowment Association, for the Widows and Children’s Fund.”

“Blue Bloods” will end Friday, Dec 13 at 10 p.m. on CBS. It will be the show’s series finale, after 14 seasons. 

Star Tom Selleck has been outspoken about his displeasure that the long-running police procedural is ending. 

In November 2023, CBS announced that “Blue Bloods” would end.

In May, Selleck, 79,  told “Town & Country” that he still holds out “hope that CBS will come to their senses,” referring to the cancellation of “Blue Bloods.”

“I’m kind of frustrated,” Selleck told TV Insider earlier this month. 

He pointed out that the cop show has been a constant at CBS for over a decade. 

“During those last eight shows, I haven’t wanted to talk about an ending for ‘Blue Bloods’ but about it still being wildly successful,” he said.

The “Magnum, P.I.” star added that while he doesn’t believe in “holding grudges” and isn’t “going to turn into a bitter old guy saying, ‘Get off my lawn!’” he’s against the choice to pull the plug on the show. 

Wahlberg also reminisced about how emotional it was to film the ending. 

“On the last day, I was filming all my squad room scenes and it’s kinda like where I hold court as Danny Reagan, and Tom Selleck came in just to watch,” Wahlberg said on SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live.”

“When he shows up to watch you work and to be there to say goodbye to everyone,” Wahlberg added.

“And like, I’m filming the scenes. I’m already emotional. I look across the room and I see him. He’s really tall, and he’s standing above everyone in the back corner just watching with tears in his eyes. It just was like the waterworks turned on. I could literally cry just thinking about it.”
