Michelle Keegan and her husband Mark Wright have welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world – and revealed her unique name too.

The couple announced the thrilling news on Instagram earlier today (Wednesday, March 12).

Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright’s baby joy

Earlier today, Michelle and Mark revealed they welcomed a baby girl into their family last week.

Taking to Instagram, Michelle and Mark shared the happy news with their followers.

The happy couple shared a close-up, black and white snap of themselves cradling their newborn.

“Together we have a new love to share… Our little girl,” they captioned the post.

“Palma Elizabeth Wright, 06.03.25,” they then added.

Meaning behind Michelle and Mark’s adorable baby name

The name Palma has a special meaning for Mark and Michelle.

Back in November last year, they went to Majorca on holiday. The couple consider the island to be their “second home” from the UK.

It was here that the couple took the photo they later used to announce Michelle’s pregnancy.

In the photo, Mark can be seen walking towards pregnant Michelle on a beach.

Palma is, of course, the capital city of Majorca – so it’s only fitting they announced their pregnancy joy on the island!

“Majorca is like a second home to them so it felt special for them to take that photograph there,” a source told The Sun last year.

There’s also a Spanish link for Michelle through her paternal grandmother, who hailed from Gibraltar, meaning baby Palma has some Spanish heritage!
