Meanwhile, one fan said: “Oh what beautiful news!!! Congratulations to you both darling!” A second said: “Awwww congratulations!”
Fans of the couple have been speculating over the meaning of Palma’s name, with many spotting a clue that the baby girl was conceived near the Spanish island.
The pair own a luxury apartment near the city of Palma, which was renovated in 2023. “I wonder if they were in Majorca 9 months ago. An unusual but beautiful name,” one fan wrote. Another commented: “Gorgeous name, wonder if it has any links considering they’ve got a place in Spain.”
A third added: “A gorgeous Spanish name.” One more said: “Gorgeous name. Huge congratulation. Being a mum/dad is the best job in the whole wide world.”
Palma’s middle name, Elizabeth, is a tribute to her Brassic star mum, whose full name is Michelle Elizabeth Keegan.
