Fans have been treated to an intimate glimpse into Michelle Keegan’s private baby shower, as her sister-in-law recently shared a slew of exclusive snaps on social media. The celebration marks a joyful new chapter for the former Coronation Street star and her husband, Mark, who announced at the end of 2024 that they were expecting their first child after a decade of marriage.

Although the couple has always valued keeping their personal lives under wraps, recent months have seen them opening up a little more to their adoring fanbase. In this instance, Natalya Wright, Mark’s sister, provided an insider’s view of the family’s celebratory gathering. Taking to her Instagram Stories on February 17, Natalya posted a series of glamorous photos captured at Smith’s in Ongar, Essex, revealing the thoughtful details that made the event truly special.

The first image showcased a long table elegantly set with beautiful candles and an assortment of fresh flowers. In the background, a playful balloon adorned with baby gifts added a festive touch to the scene. Natalya’s posts captured every nuance of the celebration, with one snap being accompanied by the caption: “We organized the perfect ‘girls only’ day before baby Wright arrives”, reported by the Daily Mail.

This caption not only highlighted the fun and light-hearted spirit of the day but also underscored the anticipation building around the arrival of the new family member.

In a subsequent video post, Natalya added another layer of charm by captioning it “perfect, perfect, perfect,” as she zoomed in on some of the more personal and carefully arranged details on the table. Yet, it was the final image that truly captivated fans—a heartfelt shot featuring Michelle’s growing baby bump.

In this touching moment, both Natalya and Michelle are seen tenderly holding the bump, alongside Mark’s other sister, Jess. Natalya encapsulated the excitement with the caption: “Aunties loading for the fourth time” accompanied by a heart emoji.

This baby shower comes at a pivotal time, as Michelle recently announced that she would be stepping back from acting to focus on motherhood. The decision was shared with Grazia, where Michelle stated, “I’m going to take a good chunk of time off to enjoy being a mum. I’m never normally home in the summer. I have always been away working, so I can’t wait.” Her announcement has resonated deeply with fans and supporters, many of whom have been following her journey with keen interest.

Earlier this month, Michelle also revealed that her friends had thrown her a beautiful shower, adding to the outpouring of love from both family and friends. With so much excitement in the air, it’s clear that everyone is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new family addition.
