The couple, who married in a stunning ceremony back in May 2015, have been together for almost a decade, and the announcement of their first child adds a sweet milestone to their journey. Both Michelle and Mark have seen their careers flourish over the years—Michelle as a celebrated actress in both television and film, and Mark as a well-known TV personality, having first gained fame on The Only Way Is Essex.
Though the couple has been in the public eye for years, they have always managed to keep their personal lives largely private. Michelle, in particular, has been skillfully keeping her growing baby bump hidden in recent months, leaving fans delighted and surprised when the news was finally revealed. The couple had previously hinted at wanting to start a family but had not shared specific plans, making this announcement even more special for those who have followed their journey together.
In a heartfelt message, Michelle expressed her excitement and gratitude, sharing how thrilled she and Mark are to embark on this new chapter. “We couldn’t be happier,” she said, describing how much they look forward to welcoming their baby into the world. Mark echoed her sentiments, calling it a “dream come true” and thanking their followers for the overwhelming love and support they’ve received since the announcement.
The news of their pregnancy has been met with an outpouring of well-wishes from friends, family, and fellow celebrities.

Their fans, too, were quick to share their happiness for the couple, with many commenting on how loved-up Michelle and Mark have always seemed over the years.
Michelle’s career has gone from strength to strength since her days on Coronation Street, where she won the hearts of viewers as Tina McIntyre. After leaving the soap, she has gone on to star in a variety of successful dramas, including Our Girl and Brassic. Her talent and dedication to her craft have earned her widespread praise and solidified her as one of the UK’s most popular actresses.
Meanwhile, Mark’s career has also flourished, with him taking on various television and radio roles since his time on TOWIE. His charm and charisma have made him a fan favorite, and like Michelle, he has built a successful career in the entertainment industry. The couple’s combined star power and down-to-earth nature have made them one of the UK’s most beloved celebrity couples.
Now, with their first baby on the way, Michelle and Mark are entering an exciting new phase of their lives. While the couple has always been open about their desire to start a family, they have also emphasized the importance of balancing their personal and professional lives. As they prepare for parenthood, it’s clear that their love for each other remains at the center of everything they do.
As fans eagerly await more updates from the couple, the focus now shifts to this new and exciting journey they are embarking on together. Michelle and Mark’s story has always been one of love, support, and shared dreams, and their growing family is sure to bring even more joy into their lives.
