Michelle Keegan was treated to the most stunning surprise as she celebrated her baby shower with her closest friends and family, just weeks before welcoming her first child with husband Mark Wright. The Brassic star, 37, shared a glimpse of the intimate gathering on her Instagram Stories, posting a beautifully styled candlelit table, captioning the snap: "Cuuuuutest surprise brunch with my northern lot." The setting was nothing short of magical, with rustic wooden tables adorned with flickering white candles, delicate sprigs of baby's breath in glass vases, and perfectly arranged napkins tied with twine.
The cosy yet elegant décor was a true reflection of Michelle’s effortlessly chic style, creating the perfect atmosphere for a heartwarming celebration. Michelle, who has been embracing pregnancy with a sense of calm and joy, has largely kept the details of her pregnancy private. Still, this rare peek inside her baby shower had fans swooning over the beautifully curated brunch.
Michelle’s best friend Katie Fearnehough organized the special day with the help of event planning company Peony Events, based in Cheshire. It’s clear her loved ones pulled out all the stops to make the moment extra special for the mum-to-be. Michelle and Mark, who have been married since 2015, announced the exciting news of their baby back in December, sending their devoted fanbase buzzing with excitement.
The couple, who split their time between their Essex mansion and travels abroad, have long spoken about their dreams of starting a family, and now, their long-awaited moment is finally approaching. Throughout her pregnancy, Michelle has kept things low-key, focusing on self-care and filming the latest season of her hit show Brassic. Just last week, she shared snapshots documenting her “self-care January,” showcasing her relaxed yet glowing look as she embraced a slower pace of life.
While she has yet to reveal her due date, Michelle’s growing baby bump has been stealing the spotlight, with fans eagerly speculating on whether she and Mark will be welcoming a baby boy or girl. The excitement surrounding their new arrival has been palpable, with both families overjoyed at the prospect of welcoming this new addition.
Mark, who has been doting on Michelle throughout her pregnancy, previously spoke about becoming a dad during his appearance on Loose Women. "It's hard work with the pressure of having babies," he joked. "We're going to give birth to an ugly duckling and let everyone down.”
Meanwhile, Mark Wright has kept fans updated with sweet family updates, even when Michelle isn't present. The couple confirmed their pregnancy news shortly after Christmas, sharing on social media, "2025 is going to be a special one for us." This giant personal update was accompanied by stunning images of Michelle showcasing her blossoming baby bump on what is reported to be a beach trip to Spain, taken late last year.
Over the weekend, Mark shared how he spent time back at home in Essex with his family, posting a video of his activities on Instagram. He captioned the heartfelt post, "A Sunday well spent," prompting fans to gush over the moments he shared with his nephews. Comments flooded in, with one user stating, "Family is everything. Your turn soon for the patter of tiny feet," highlighting the warm connection his followers feel to his family.
Mark's followers expressed their enthusiasm and support, with comments like, "Aww you’re so lucky to have such a close-knit family," and another stating, "You are such an inspiration Mark, you have such a beautiful family and amazing life. Thank you for sharing." This shows the community's excitement and love for the upcoming addition to the family.
With all these precious moments shared on social media and the joy evident from all involved, the Wright-Keegan family is gearing up for what promises to be a significant year. The anticipation surrounding their baby’s arrival is growing by the day, with fans and family alike eagerly waiting for the little one to make their entrance.
Mark and Michelle appear to be savoring these precious moments leading up to parenthood, highlighting the joy and warmth of family life.
