Actress Michelle Keegan has spoken for the first time about her pregnancy, sharing insights into her cravings, relationship with husband Mark Wright, and plans for the future. In an interview with Grazie, the Brassic star broke her silence on expecting her first child with Wright, revealing how pregnancy has changed her daily routine.
Keegan, who announced her pregnancy in December 2024, admitted that she has developed a surprising sweet tooth. “I’m usually a savory girl, but now I’m craving sugary stuff,” she said. “I’ll eat a chocolate bar while walking around the supermarket and just give them the wrapper at the checkout.” Her confession comes as she prepares for a new chapter in her life, balancing her successful acting career with motherhood.
With both Keegan and Wright maintaining demanding careers, their relationship has often been tested by long periods apart. However, she emphasized that they always support each other’s ambitions. “We never make each other feel bad about being away for work,” she explained. “And even though there has been negativity surrounding that in the press, we never let it affect our relationship.”
Their strong bond has helped them navigate the challenges of their busy schedules, proving that communication and trust remain key in their marriage. As she anticipates the arrival of their baby, Keegan has decided to step away from work for a while. “I’m going to take a good chunk of time off to enjoy being a mum,” she shared.
The actress, who is typically busy filming during the summer, is excited for a rare opportunity to slow down and embrace family life. “I’m never normally at home in the summer; I’ve always been away working, so I can’t wait,” she added.
Keegan and Wright, who tied the knot in 2015, are also set to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary in May. Their milestone year will be marked by not only a decade of marriage but also the joy of welcoming their first child. As they prepare for this new chapter, Keegan’s openness about her pregnancy journey has given fans a glimpse into her excitement, love for her growing family, and readiness to embrace motherhood.
