Mark Wright, a Heart Radio host, is already a proud uncle to his brother Josh’s two children and his sister Jess’s son. Over the years, he has frequently expressed his longing to become a father. Michelle and Mark’s love story, which began 12 years ago, has only grown stronger, and with the announcement of their pregnancy, they are now embarking on an exciting new chapter in their lives together.
Mark Wright’s past relationships were well-documented during his time on The Only Way Is Essex, where he dated co-stars Lucy Mecklenburgh, Sam Faiers, and had an infamous on-off relationship with Lauren Goodger. However, his romance with Michelle Keegan quickly blossomed, and just nine months after meeting, Mark proposed in Dubai, the same city where they first crossed paths.
Michelle admitted that at first, she thought Mark was joking when he got down on one knee. But when he said, “come here,” emotions flooded, and they both burst into tears. In an interview with Hello! magazine, Michelle recalled the moment: “I started crying, and said yes, and then he started welling up as well.” As they walked further along the beach, she discovered a table set up with lanterns, petals, and two glasses of champagne.
Mark shared his feelings, saying, “It didn’t take me long to realise that Michelle is everything I wanted. Michelle is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.” He also revealed that the decision to propose was prompted by a three-month period they had to spend apart due to work commitments, which made him realize how much she meant to him.
