Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright announced their exciting pregnancy news on Sunday night with a stunning sunset beach shot.
The former TOWIE star and actress, both 37, will welcome their first child together in 2025 and the snap they posted showed them during a winter break to Majorca earlier this year as Michelle showed off off her blossoming baby bump.
The image they chose to share the news with showed Michelle in a sweeping white outfit which draws comparisons with the shot Justin and Hailey Bieber posted to announce they were expecting their first child back in May.
In their post, Hailey, 28, wore a long white lace Saint Laurent gown and veil as they combined the announcement with a vow renewal in Hawaii.
The angle and set up of their pictures were also similar as Justin and Mark both stood with their back to the shot to keep the focus on their partners.
Michelle and Mark captioned their snap saying: ‘2025 is going to be a special one for us…’, while Hailey simply tagged her partner Justin with her post.

The insider said: ‘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.’
Pals added that the actress and TOWIE star turned DJ were ‘thrilled’ about their baby news.
Michelle shared Instagram photos on November 5 from Mallorca, telling fans that the couple were enjoying ‘a couple of days in our fave place before the Christmas build up begins.’
