Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright celebrated their first Mother’s Day as parents to baby Palma Elizabeth and the Brassic star made sure to pay tribute to her daughter with her outfit
Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright celebrated Mother’s Day in style, treating fans to a glimpse of their newborn daughter, Palma Elizabeth, with a series of heartwarming Instagram snaps taken at a picturesque hotel boasting beach views.
Palma, dressed in a charming white outfit complete with her name embroidered on it, was the centre of attention at the family celebration held at the Roslin Beach Hotel in Southend, Essex. The day was particularly poignant for Michelle as she marked her first Mother’s Day as a mum.
A touching photo shared by Mark’s mother captured baby Palma cradled by her grandfather, Mark Wright Sr. , with her grandmother, Carol, beaming beside them, accompanied by the loving caption: “What a day with all my love in the world. Xx.”

Later that evening, Michelle took to Instagram to share a montage of images with her 7.5 million followers, not only showcasing her adorable daughter but also highlighting an exquisite piece of jewellery she wore.
Michelle captioned her Instagram post with: “Such a special day from start to finish. Happy Mothers Day.”, reports the Mirror.
The post quickly garnered over 177,000 likes and hundreds of comments. Among the well-wishers were Michelle’s sister-in-law, Jess Wright, who remarked: “Beautiful day for us mummas”, and Samia Longchambon, known for her role as Maria Connor in Coronation Street, who wished her: “Happy first Mother’s Day!”.
Captured during a family gathering, the heartwarming pictures show Palma wrapped up in a snug white outfit bearing her embroidered name. Yet, it’s not only Palma’s attire that got a personal touch; one snapshot reveals Michelle donning an exquisite diamond necklace inscribed with her daughter’s name, though it remains unknown whether it was a Mother’s Day present.
The ‘Brassic’ actress, aged 37 and relatively out of the spotlight since childbirth, has nonetheless appeared in public alongside her partner on occasion, frequently joined by Michelle’s mother, Jackie Anne Thornton, who is whole-heartedly adopting her role as a grandma.
Mark Wright recently divulged his thoughts on being a dad during an emotionally-charged discussion on Heart FM, spurred on by co-presenter Olly Murs. “I know you’re a private guy,” said Olly, seguing into the topic: “But this has been such a huge moment for you and Michelle. How are you feeling?”. With emotions pouring, Mark replied: “Mate, it’s hard to even put into words. This is the biggest achievement of my life – it’s all I think about.”
He lauded Michelle as “a superhero” for bringing Palma into their lives. “It makes you appreciate what our mums did for us even more. The strength women have – it’s incredible.”
He contemplated the profound impact of fatherhood, saying: “Every morning I wake up so excited just to see her face. That moment I held her for the first time… it gets me emotional just thinking about it. Everything else fades away, and you realize what truly matters in life.”
