Wearing matching suit jackets, the boys looked smart as they posed next to their new star, each with a pink bow pinned to their lapels.
'We've been together for pretty much 30 years,' said Wahlberg. 'We've been friends for longer. We've been through the droughts of droughts, the highs of highs. We've been through things that most people could never imagine.
'I think I speak for all of us in saying that I would not have wanted to spend one moment of the last 33 years doing this with anyone besides this team right here.'
Still got it: In July, New Kids On The Block performed four shows in Las Vegas
After the band was formed in 1984, they released a self-titled flop debut in 1986. But its popularity grew with the 1988 release of the ballad single Please Don't Go Girl.
Its breakout album that year, Hangin' Tough, turned them into bona fide superstars and the group went on to win key awards at myriad musical award shows, including favourite pop/rock band in 1990 at the American Music Awards.
After the public's changing musical tastes and going their own way for different projects, they reunited in 2007 for a new album titled The Block, which debuted at No. 2.
And in 2013, they released their sixth studio album and also toured with fellow boy band giants 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men.
Emotional: The group received the 2,530th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and enjoyed every minute of it
Just recently, NKOTB performed four shows in Las Vegas in July.
As for their lives now, Wahlberg is probably the most well known thanks to his starring role on CBS hit Blue Bloods and the reality show Wahlbergers.
He teared up while telling the crowd, 'You are our family. If we are the star that's gonna be on this famed boulevard, then you guys are the soil and the concrete.'
Obsessed: Fans were in selfie heaven with NKOTB member Jordan Knight, who kindly obliged

And Jordan Knight is busy with his band NIck and Knight, featuring popular Backstreet Boy Nick Carter.
NKOTB was created by legendary producer and songwriter Maurice Starr who also discovered smooth R&B fave New Edition. He was there along with Wahlberg's new wife, Jenny McCarthy.
