Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright Share First Photo of Baby Daughter Palma
Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright are embracing the joy of parenthood after recently introducing their newborn daughter to the world. The couple, who had kept fans in anticipation, revealed their daughter, Palma Elizabeth Wright, with a touching black and white image shared with their Instagram followers.
Family Overjoyed by New Arrival
The heartwarming debut was further celebrated by Mark’s mother, Carol Wright, who publicly expressed her delight. She reposted the couple’s photograph of baby Palma, writing, “We are in love with you beautiful baby girl thank you Michelle and Mark for this wonder gift. X.” Following Carol’s affectionate message, Michelle’s mother, Jackie, has also shared her happiness regarding the new arrival.
Jackie broke her silence by posting a quote reflecting the joys of being a grandmother: “Happiness is when your granddaughter comes up to you and gives you a big hug ‘just because.'”
Expressing her anticipation, she added, “Can’t wait,” and concluded her message with a pink heart emoji.
Grandmother’s Support and “Granny Flat”
As the celebrity couple navigates parenthood, sources indicate that Jackie, 63, has been providing considerable support to her daughter and son-in-law.
Reportedly a frequent visitor to the couple’s £3.5 million Essex residence, Jackie is said to have a bespoke “granny flat” prepared for her within the renovated home, facilitating extended visits.
An insider disclosed, “Jackie has met Palma and has been a pillar of support for Michelle since the little one’s arrival,” adding, “Jackie is over the moon to be a grandma.”
“Besotted” Grandmother
“Palma is her first grandchild, and she is utterly besotted, as is the entire family. She is incredibly proud of Michelle.”
In December, an excited Jackie had expressed, “I’m am so excited,” embracing her new role as Grandma.
Jackie, who also has a son named Andrew, shares a close bond with Michelle. Michelle previously described her mother as “My mum, my best friend and hands down THE funniest human on the planet,” in a loving tribute.
Long-Awaited Arrival
Palma’s arrival was highly anticipated, as the actress, known for her role in Brassic, had previously spoken about the frequent questions from her mother regarding when she and Mark would start a family.
During a 2019 appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, Michelle shared, “Everyone always asks that question. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not getting any younger. My mum is on it as well. No plans yet, but we definitely do want children in the future.”
