Actress Michelle Keegan is expecting her first baby with husband Mark Wright, the celebrity couple have announced.

Keegan and former The Only Way Is Essex star Wright, both 37, shared the news on their Instagram accounts with the caption “2025 is going to be a special one for us” followed by a baby emoji.

A picture on the social media site posted on Sunday shows the couple standing opposite each other on a beach as former Coronation Street actress Keegan holds her bump.

Keegan, also known for her roles in Sky comedy Brassic and Netflix’s Fool Me Once, is wearing a white off-the-shoulder top and skirt, while Wright is dressed in a beige shirt and trousers.

Coleen Rooney, comedian Joel Dommett, and Bridgerton actress Jessica Madsen were among those to congratulate the couple in comments on the post.

Radio host Wright, who appeared on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, began dating Keegan in 2012.
