Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright announced the exciting news of their pregnancy on Sunday night with a stunning sunset photo on the beach.
The former TOWIE star and actress, both 37, will welcome their first child together in 2025 and the snap they posted showed them on a winter holiday in Mallorca earlier this year as Michelle showed off her burgeoning baby bump.
The image they chose to share the news showed Michelle in a loose white suit that draws comparisons to the photo that Justin and Hailey Bieber posted to announce that they were expecting their first child in May.
In her post, Hailey, 28, wore a long white lace dress by Saint Laurent and a veil as they paired the announcement with a vow renewal in Hawaii.
The angle and setup of their photos were also similar, as Justin and Mark had their backs to the shot to keep the focus on their partners.
Michelle and Mark captioned their snap saying: ‘2025 is going to be special for us…’, while Hailey simply tagged her partner Justin with her post.
