Michelle Keegan previously revealed her ‘frustration’ at the constant questions she received about her baby plans.
The actress announced the happy news on Sunday that she and her husband Mark Wright, both 37, are expecting their first child together.
But the star has said in the past how she has been left upset by the endless speculation about the couple’s plans during their nine years of marriage.
Speaking to You Magazine in 2021, she also said: ‘I’m used to people asking me but it’s no one else’s business.
‘Nobody else knows what goes on behind closed doors. I think that’s the reason that question affects me so much – it’s very private!
‘Mark is asked about it occasionally but I’m asked every single time.’

Michelle Keegan previously revealed her ‘frustration’ at the constant questions she received about her baby plans with Mark Wright
Asked whether her family still asked her about her plans, she confessed: ‘Not any more! People don’t mean any harm by it, but they know what the answer’s going to be.’
During a 2019 interview, Michelle, who was 32 at the time, spoke of her ‘frustration’ over being constantly asked, saying: ‘In this day and age, you shouldn’t ask questions like that.’
She said: ‘They don’t know the background of what’s happening. It’s no one else’s business.
‘I get so frustrated. I’m asked purely because I’m a woman. But I’m immune to it now – it’s like a reaction and as soon as I hear it I brush it off, as it’s no one else’s business.’
The Netflix actress and TV presenter confirmed the happy news in a joint Instagram post on Sunday, sharing a sweet photograph where Michelle cradled her blossoming bump.
They captioned the post: ‘2025 is going to be a special one for us…✨’
Former Coronation Street star Michelle married Mark in May 2015 and the couple live together in an Essex mansion they built from scratch.
Heart Radio host Mark, who rose to fame on ITVBe series TOWIE, is already an uncle to footballer brother Josh’s two children as well as sister Jess’s son and has spoken over the years about wanting to become a father himself one day.
