Insiders tell Closer that Michelle Keegan feels “suffocated” by constant online pestering over starting a family
She opened up recently about the anguish caused by continual speculation over when she’ll have a baby with reality star husband Mark Wright. And now insiders tell Closer that Michelle Keegan has been pushed to the edge by renewed speculation.
Baby talk has plagued the couple since they married eight years ago, but it was recently triggered again when Mark shared a photo of himself and Michelle with their newborn nephew last month. Fans flooded the comments – with some bluntly demanding to know when the couple were going to start a family.
And a source reveals it’s left Michelle feeling more frustrated than ever.
DESPERATE
“The conversation about them having a baby has gone into overdrive again,” the source says. “And there’s so much baby talk right now in the Wright family that it sometimes gets suffocating for Michelle. She felt as though it had died down a bit, but suddenly it’s all anyone seems to be talking about again.
“She’s told Mark she’s desperate to get away so they can have a break from it all – they’ve been comparing diaries so that they can find windows for them to have a holiday and squeeze in some quality time, just the two of them, with no distractions and none of this pressure.”
Ever since Mark, 36, and Michelle, 35, tied the knot together in 2015, fans have been desperate for them to announce baby news.
And in 2020, former Coronation Street actress Michelle admitted she felt “frustrated” when the question of them having a baby kept coming up, lamenting the fact that Mark would never get quizzed the same way she does.
“A few years ago it didn’t bother me and I answered the question, but now I think, ‘I don’t need to answer that’, because nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors,” she said.
Talk of children has heightened since Mark
