Mark Wright’s mum Carol has issued a heartfelt message that proves what she thinks of Michelle Keegan following the birth of their first child.
The TOWIE star and actress, both 37, announced the happy news they have welcomed a baby girl yesterday. They shared an adorable first photo of their new bundle of joy as well as revealing her meaningful name. Mark and Michelle captioned the black and white photo of their newborn: “Together we have a new love to share… Our little girl. Palma Elizabeth Wright 06.03.25”.
The proud new parents were completely flooded with messages of congratulations and support from their celebrity pals as well as fans. Mark’s mother was also among those sharing a public message to the couple. She re-shared the sweet photo of Palma and write: “We are in love with you beautiful baby girl thank you Michelle and Mark for this wonder gift. X”.
Mark’s sister also commented: “So so happy for you both. The best news ever”. The reality TV star has been married to Coronation Street icon Michelle since 2015 and they announced they were expecting their first child together three months ago. The couple shared the life-changing news by sharing a sun-soaked snap of themselves on the beach of a Spanish island with Michelle’s baby bump proudly on display.
In a joint post, the happy couple wrote in December: “2025 is going to be a special one for us…]baby emoji. love heart emoji]”. In the loving snap on a picturesque beach, Michelle could be seen holding her baby bump as Mark lovingly looked on. It seems the couple have taken inspiration from the Spanish island of Mallorca, where they have a holiday home.
They often jet off to Palma de Mallorca for a romantic trips away and late last year they headed on a Christmas getaway. Michelle gushed about the island as she wrote: “Just a couple of days in our fave place before the Christmas build up begins”, alongside snaps of the food, coffee shops and scenery.
Michelle had previously opened up about the tough speculation about their marriage when they chose not to start a family straight away – but she now feels more “confident about her boundaries”. “Around the time we got married, I was open about the fact that I wanted to have a family but then, because we didn’t choose to have children within a certain time, there was lots of speculation”, she said last month.
“And we can handle that but, at one point, there was a story every week. My family was asking me about it, so I made the decision to not talk publicly about that side of my life. I’m going to be 38 this year and, as I’ve got older, I feel more confident about my boundaries”. She once admitted her own mum had been on at her about having future grandchildren.
The Fool Me Once star said in 2019 that she wasn’t “getting any younger” but that it wasn’t the right time for her to start a family. When asked the intrusive question, Michelle said at the time: “Not yet. Everyone always asks that question. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not getting any younger”. She added on the Jonathan Ross show: “My mum is on it as well. No plans yet, but we definitely do want children in the future”.
