Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright have given their followers a sneak peek into their family trip away to plush retreat and celebrity hotspot, Soho Farmhouse, after welcoming their baby daughter Palma. Mark, 38, took to Instagram to share a series of adorable snaps, captioning them: “In my Dad era…. trip away with my girls.”
The heartwarming collection kicked off with an intimate photo of Mark snuggled in bed with his baby daughter, her tiny hand sweetly placed on his mouth. Fans also got to see him and Michelle, 37, enjoying a sunny toast with Aperol Spritzes, celebrating their journey into parenthood. The couple’s relaxing getaway was documented through various other images, including a stylish selfie of the new parents, a peaceful country walk with Mark at the helm of the pram, and their bicycles casually parked next to the pushchair on the grass.
Another sweet snap showed Mark holding baby Palma inside a cosy lodge, his face lit up with joy, while Michelle, 37, also shared a sweet picture of her stood on the balcony of their rustic accommodation in the Oxfordshire countryside with Palma resting on her chest.
The former Corrie star wrote: “A little break away filled with special memories.” Fans and celebs pals quickly commented on Mark and Michelle’s posts as Rochelle Humes commented: “Magic”, while Louise Thompson gushed: “Lovely gang”.
One follower wrote: “Wow you’re making it look easy! Beautiful photos”, while another said: “Love this. Obviously don’t know either of you but I feel so genuinely happy for you both”, reports the Mirror. A third chimed in: “Suits you! ! So lovely to see.”
This comes after the family shared a rare glimpse of little Palma during their celebration of Michelle’s first Mother’s Day as a mum. Brassic actress Michelle shared a series of snaps from the visit to Roslin Beach Hotel in Southend, including adorable pics of baby Palma dressed in a white cardigan with her name embroidered on it.
Michelle and Mark also celebrated the special day with their family. One sweet photo shared by Mark’s mum Carol showed little Palma being cradled by her beaming grandfather, Mark Wright Sr., with Carol smiling next to them, along with the loving words: “What a day with all my love in the world. Xx.”
Wrapping up the day, Michelle shared a montage of images, including a focus on an elegant piece of jewellery she wore. One snap shows her sporting an exquisite diamond necklace spelling out her daughter’s name, leaving fans to wonder if it was a Mother’s Day surprise.
She also showed off her stylish outfit for the day, donning a cream cardigan with gold buttons and brown trousers. The proud new mum captioned her Instagram post with: “Such a special day from start to finish. Happy Mothers Day”.
Mark has opened up about fatherhood with Olly Murs on Heart FM, expressing his deep emotions: “Mate, it’s hard to even put into words. This is the biggest achievement of my life – it’s all I think about.
“Every morning I wake up so excited just to see her face. That moment I held her for the first time… it gets me emotional just thinking about it. Everything else fades away, and you realize what truly matters in life.”
His adoration for Michelle shone through as he lauded her strength during childbirth, calling her “a superhero”. He said: “It makes you appreciate what our mums did for us even more. The strength women have – it’s incredible.”
