Michelle Keegan's baby's due date has a very special significance
Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright are set to become parents in the new year, and as Michelle gushed on her Instagram, 2025 is shaping up to be "a special one" for the lovebirds – and not just because of the baby. The couple, who have not revealed any details surrounding their due date, shared a snap by photographer Maria Hibbs from their Majorca getaway in early November.
If 37 year old Michelle is past the three-month mark in her pregnancy, their bundle of joy might just make an appearance before they celebrate a decade of marital bliss. The pair will mark their tenth anniversary in late May, having said 'I do' on 24 May 2015 in a star-studded ceremony. Their nuptials took place at St Mary's Church in Bury St Edmonds, followed by a lavish reception in a marquee at Hengrave Hall in Suffolk.
Michelle dazzled in a bespoke Galia Lahav dress with a daring neckline and fishtail silhouette, while Mark cut a dashing figure in a classic black suit. The former TOWIE heartthrob and the Brassic star first crossed paths in 2012 and took to social media this Sunday to announce their exciting baby news.
