Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright are expecting their first child together. The duo has been a part of television for a long time, where they have portrayed different roles. Their net worth currently stands at $4 million each, as per Celebrity Net Worth.
The celebrity couple announced the pregnancy through Instagram on Monday, December 30. It included a photo where they were seemingly standing near a beach. The Fool Me Once star was spotted holding her baby bump while Wright was walking towards her. Notably, the pair wore white outfits for the snap, and the caption reads:
"2025 is going to be a special one for us…"
A report by Closer Online stated that Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright, both 37, first met in 2012 in Dubai and started dating a few days later. The duo kept everything away from the limelight until they were seen together on the red carpet of an event around two years later, as per The Mirror. They got married in 2015.
The outlet reported that there was a time when claims of issues emerging between them went viral due to work commitments in separate locations, leading to a long-distance relationship. While speaking to The Sun a year after they exchanged vows, a close friend of Michelle and Mark claimed:
"It's been a turbulent first year and they've been apart much more than they've been together. Things between them are pretty volatile. When you add it up they're just not sharing time, a bed, meals, days out, or chilling together the way couples need to."
Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright's respective careers have contributed to their wealth: Successful projects and other details explained
Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright have become popular faces over the years for their work on screen. The former has been active in the entertainment industry since 2007 and her list of credits mostly feature famous television shows.
However, the Stockport, Greater Manchester, native has accumulated a huge fanbase for playing Tina McIntyre in Coronation Street. While speaking on The Graham Norton Show in January this year, Michelle Keegan recalled that the series turned out to be a "massive learning platform" and continued:
"When they told me they were killing off my character and there was no going back I thought I would never work again. My security was ripped away which made me push forward and work harder."
In another conversation with Radio Times last year, Michelle Keegan said that she always had a feeling of not returning to acting after Coronation Street. She further stated that exiting the show was a risk, but she never had regrets since it was the right thing for her.
She even reprised her role in a film adaptation of the popular series, titled Out of Africa. Furthermore, she was seen as Georgie Lane for around four years in Our Girl and portrayed one of the leads in Tina and Bobby.
Michelle Keegan is also playing Erin Croft in the comedy-drama series Brassic and Kate Thorne in Ten Pound Poms. She has another film in her credits, titled Strangeways Here We Come, and was a guest judge in the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs. the World.
Mark Wright has also been featured in many TV shows
Just like his wife, Michelle Keegan, the Buckhurst Hill, Essex, native has worked on television for more than ten years. He previously had a successful career as a footballer where he played for various teams such as England National Football C.
Mark eventually expanded his career to television, where he was cast in the ITV reality series, The Only Way Is Essex. He was also a correspondent for a show titled Extra. According to Simon Jones PR, Mark expressed his happiness about the same after being selected for the series in a statement that reads:
"I feel so honoured to be given a job on such a massive show in America, interviewing the biggest stars in the world, and working alongside Mario Lopez who I watched and loved growing up."
Wright presented multiple shows throughout his career, including The Bachelor. He even emerged as the runner-up of the 11th series of a survival reality show, I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, and later participated in the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special in 2019.
He has been the host of The Challenge UK and appeared as a guest health expert in the ITV series, Daybreak.
