Mark Wright revealed reason he held off starting a family with Michelle Keegan for nine years after marriage
MARK Wright previously revealed the reason he and wife Michelle Keegan held off on starting a family.
The couple this week shared the happy news they’re having a baby – nine years after tying the knot.
Presenter Mark and actress Michelle, both 37, have faced continuous questions about babies.
But Mark once confessed he wanted to wait until he was finished with travelling the world.
Both he and Michelle have been taken all over the place with their busy jobs.
Most recently she was filming in Australia for the second series of BBC drama Ten Pound Poms.
And Mark told the Mirror: “I just want to make sure I’m all travelled out. I’m getting to the point where I just want to settle now at home and have a job that brings me home every day, but I’m not quite there yet.”
Michelle has also hit out at the constant quizzing over when they would have a baby.
She previously said: “It’s horrible.
“People don’t know if we’re trying. They don’t know the background of what’s happening.
“In this day and age, you shouldn’t be asking questions like that. I’m asked purely because I’m a woman.
“But I’m immune to it now – it’s like a reaction, and as soon as I hear it I brush it off as it’s no one else’s business.”
Announcing their happy news on social media, Michelle and Mark shared a stunning snap of her cradling her bump on a beach in Mallorca as he walked towards her.
They captioned the post: “2025 is going to be a special one for us…”
Revealing why they chose the Spanish island for their special photoshoot, a source told The Sun: “Michelle and Mark went on a winter sun break in early November and chose to take the photograph there.
“It was taken on an empty beach by a friend when they knew no one would spot them.
“Majorca is like a second home to them so it felt special for them to take that photograph there.
“The lighting and the setting was just perfect, it was a beautiful moment.”
