In a joint post, the happy couple wrote in December: “2025 is going to be a special one for us… [baby emoji. love heart emoji].” In the loving snap on a picturesque beach, Michelle could be seen holding her baby bump as Mark lovingly looked on.

Days before Michelle gave birth, Mark opened up about getting excited about the arrival. He reflected on his upbringing as the son of occasional TOWIE stars; dad Mark Snr and mum Carol. He had also paid tribute to Michelle’s parents – who are Michael Keegan and Jackie Turner. Mark said the family values instilled into both him and Michelle by their parents will shape the way their bring up their children.

Mark told The Sun: “I’m just excited for the whole process. I’m just really excited and can’t wait for it to happen. A parent shapes you. If you haven’t got a good upbringing, you can still end up being a good person but if you’ve got good parents, like we have, you’re going out into life [with] a massive head start.

“My dad is everything you’d dream [of] in a dad. He’s always put us first, no matter what, whether that was financially or in terms of love and care. We’ve always felt so loved and that’s one of the most important things for any parent – to make your child feel loved and to [let] them know [you’re] there.”
