How Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright’s stunning pregnancy announcement shot has striking similarity to Justin and Hailey Bieber’s baby reveal
Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright announced their exciting pregnancy news on Sunday evening with a beautiful beach photo at sunset.
The former TOWIE star and actress, both 37, will welcome their first child together in 2025 and the photo they posted showed them on a winter break to Mallorca earlier this year as Michelle showed off her blossoming baby bump.
The photo they shared the news with showed Michelle in a striking white outfit, which drew comparisons to the photo Justin and Hailey Bieber posted to announce they were expecting their first child in May.
In their post, Hailey, 28, wore a long white lace dress and veil from Saint Laurent as they paired the announcement with a vow renewal in Hawaii.
The angle and arrangement of their photos were also similar, as Justin and Mark both stood with their backs to the photo to keep the focus on their partners.
Michelle and Mark captioned their photo with the words: ‘2025 is going to be a special year for us…’, while Hailey simply tagged her partner Justin with her post.
