Over the years, Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright made no secret of the fact they have longed to start a family together. The showbiz couple, both 37, have now announced they are expecting their first child together. They took to Instagram to share the exciting news with their followers on Sunday night and posted a picture of Michelle lovingly holding her bump with Mark looking on. It was captioned: "2025 is going to be a special one for us...".
It's reported the adorable snap was taken in Majorca at the start of November, where Mark and Michelle have their own Spanish holiday home. Michelle shared some snaps during the trip last month, concealing her bump as she told fans: "A couple of days in our favourite place before the Christmas build-up begins.".
According to a friend of the couple, Michelle and Mark "kept their pregnancy quiet for a long time" as they wanted to enjoy the moment for themselves at first having waited may years for this moment. "Starting a family has been something they have wanted to do for a long time," a source close to the parents-to-be has said.
Speaking to The Sun, the insider explained: "They are both in amazing places in their careers, and their family home in Essex is all completed. The timing could not have been more perfect." They added that Mark and Michelle's "immediate family have known for a while".
Mark's brother Josh was among those to congratulate the couple as Michelle's pregnancy was revealed on Sunday, commenting on the post: "Over the moon for you both and can’t wait for our boys to meet your little one." Mark's mother said she was "super excited" to welcome another grandchild as she shared the same announcement photo on her Instagram.
