Michelle Keegan shares sweet tribute to her newborn daughter Palma

Michelle Keegan has shared a special tribute with fans to her baby daughter, Palma.

The Fool Me Once actress, 37, and former TOWIE star Mark Wright, 38, welcomed their first child together last month, announcing the good news with a sweet black and white snap.

And Keegan has already started wearing a thoughtful collection of jewellery pieces to commemorate the newest addition into their lives.

The Our Girl star shared a selfie of a gold necklace which features three “P” pendants, with one representing Palma and the others dedicated to her dachshund Phoebe and chihuahua Pip.

She was also wearing a separate necklace spelling out “Palma” in gold letters with diamonds.

The former Coronation Street actress posted the touching snap on her Instagram Story and wrote: “For my three girls. Palma, Phoebe, and Pip.”

Keegan and Wright - who married in 2015 - welcomed Palma on March 6.

Sharing a photo of their hands clasping the newborn’s tiny hand, they wrote on Instagram: “Together we have a new love to share… Our little girl. Palma Elizabeth Wright 06.03.25.”

Earlier this month, they took their first holiday as a new family with a weekend getaway in the countryside.

The couple headed to the exclusive member’s club and hotel, Soho Farmhouse, in Oxfordshire.

Keegan posted a snap of herself cradling Palma on the wooden deck of their hotel suite, which overlooked a lake at the Chipping Norton bolthole, with the caption: “A little break away filled with special memories.”

In the carousel, she also included a snap of Wright cuddling Palma in bed, the couple posing for a selfie, and shots from the grounds of Soho Farmhouse, which boasts a pool, spa, and gym.

Wright shared similar snaps on his own Instagram, captioning them: “In my Dad era…. trip away with my girls.”

The Heart FM star recently revealed the true meaning behind Palma’s name after reports swirled that she was named after the Spanish resort in Mallorca.

“That's what the papers say,” he said on This Morning last week.

“We just love the name, we love the name Palmer with an ‘er’ and then we just liked the way it read, so we just love the name really.”

Wright also revealed the parenting advice Ed Sheeran - who has two daughters - had given him.

“We saw Ed last week, I'm a super fan, and he walked up and went, ‘How are you feeling?’ He said: ‘Trust me, it gets easier,’” Wright recalled.
