They’re in a blissful baby bubble after becoming parents – and Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright are already planning their first adventure as a trio.
The couple shared the happy news earlier this month that they had welcomed their first child together. Announcing the birth of Palma Elizabeth, they posted a black and white snap of them holding their newborn’s hand, writing, ‘Together we have a new love to share… Our little girl.’
Now, we’re told that the loved-up duo – who have been married for nearly a decade – are basking in their newborn joy. Our source says, ‘Mark and Michelle couldn’t be happier right now. They’ve both fallen head over heels in love with Palma, and are enjoying each and every second with her. Mark’s looking at whether he can scale back his work commitments for a longer time, as he’s hating having to work and not spending as much time with her. He’s totally smitten, and is being really hands-on with the baby, which is allowing Michelle the rest and time she needs to recover following the birth.’
We’re told Mark, 38, and Michelle, 37, can’t wait to make memories with their little one. In fact, the showbiz couple are already planning their first holiday together, and are looking to go to their ‘special place’ – the Spanish island of Majorca – with Palma reportedly named after the capital.
‘They’re planning their first summer holiday as a trio,’ shares our source. ‘It’s likely they’ll choose Spain, where they’ve spent a lot of time together, or somewhere else that isn’t too far, so there won’t be a long flight. They both love being abroad and are looking forward to taking Palma away for the first time, and spending some quality time together.’
Mark recently opened up about fatherhood while chatting to close pal and fellow dad Olly Murs on his radio show. The emotional ex-TOWIE star gushed, ‘It’s the best feeling in the world. I wake up every morning just so excited to see her face.’ He also gave a sweet tribute to Michelle, saying, ‘She’s an absolute superhuman, a superhero, for bringing this baby into the world.’
And our source adds that Mark and Michelle can’t wait for their future as a family. ‘They’ve spent a long time dreaming about this, and it’s even more special than they imagined,’ we’re told. ‘It’s likely Mark and Michelle will want more kids, as they both come from big families and love the warmth it brings.’
