‘I’m so excited’: Mark Wright opens up about baby plans with Michelle

Aug 25, 2015

Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan made things official when they married in a lavish country ceremony back in May, but are they ready for the next step?

With the excitement of their big day and their two-destination honeymoon finally dying down, the couple have started talking family plans… but they're content to take their time.

While he admits he would love to have a baby with Michelle, Mark says the pair are not ready to become parents just yet. "I am so excited to hopefully one day be a dad, but it's not going to be any time soon," the 28-year-old told new! magazine this week.

The newlyweds might not be trying for a baby at the moment, but Mark's already thought about whether he'd like a boy or a girl. "I want both!" he admits.

As for Michelle, she previously revealed that she had planned to start a family much earlier, but that things didn't quite go to plan. "I always thought I was going to be a really young mum. I always had in my head that I was going to have a baby at 22 or 23," the 28-year-old revealed to Star magazine shortly after her wedding to Mark. "Obviously that didn't happen!"

Like her husband, the former Coronation Street actress seems happy to wait a while longer to have kids, even if the delay doesn't follow her original five year plan. "When you have a child everything changes, and at the moment I'm really lucky with my life and I don't want anything to change just yet."

Mark and Michelle have definitely been making the most of their freedom of late, with numerous trips abroad over the last three months alone.

Since returning from The Maldives and Dubai on a two week honeymoon, the couple have covered Marbella, Ibiza, Gibraltar, Los Angeles AND New York between them.
