Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright are expecting their first child in the new year, and like the Fool Me Once actress said in her Instagram post, 2025 is going to be "a special one" for the couple – but for more than one reason.
While the pair have yet to reveal the due date for their baby, the photo in their announcement post was taken by photographer Maria Hibbs in early November, when the couple last visited Majorca. Assuming Michelle, 37, is over three months pregnant, it's very possible that their little one could arrive in the next few months - and possibly before they mark their tenth wedding anniversary.
Michelle and Mark will mark their anniversary at the end of May. The former TOWIE star and Brassic actress tied the knot in front of family and friends on 24 May 2015 – as featured exclusively in HELLO! Magazine. They exchanged their vows in St Mary's Church in Bury St Edmonds before celebrating at a reception in a marquee set up in the grounds of the Tudor mansion Hengrave Hall in Suffolk.
Our Girl actress Michelle was dressed in a figure-hugging Galia Lahav wedding dress for her big day, which featured a plunging neckline, a deep-V back and a fishtail wedding skirt, while Mark looked suave in a black suit.

Taking to Instagram with a beach photo showing Michelle caressing her blossoming baby bump, the actress penned in a joint post: "2025 is going to be a special one for us…"

Presenter and singer Rochelle Humes penned: "Over the moon for you both," while Mark's dad, Mark Wright Sr, shared his anticipation, adding: "4th grandchild incoming and can't wait."
It's been a busy few years for Michelle and Mark, who finally moved into their epic Essex mansion at the end of 2022 after spending four years building it from the ground up.
