Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright have welcomed their first child - a baby girl.
The announcement comes just weeks after the duo first shared the news of their pregnancy.
On 29 December, the UK couple - who tied the knot back in 2015 - rang in the New Year by sharing a beach-side snap, where the Our Girl actress could be seen showing off her blossoming baby bump.
"2025 is going to be a special one for us," she wrote alongside the sweet image.

And today (11 Mar), the married pair broke the news on Instagram that they'd welcomed a girl.
Keegan and Wright, 38, revealed in the message that their daughter had been born on the 6th.
Sharing a black and white photo online, former Coronation Street star Keegan, 37, added the caption: "Together we have a new love to share…
"Our little girl," alongside a white love-heart.
The high-profile pair have named their daughter Palma Elizabeth Wright.
Thousands of congratulatory messages have since flooded into the comments, wishing the pair well after adding a new addition to their A-list family. Wright's cousin and fellow former TOWIE star Elliott gushed: "can’t wait to meet her xxx".
"Ffs I’m crying over here," gym bunny Joe Wicks continued. "I know how much you’ve wanted to be a dad and you’ll be an amazing dad too.
"This is the most beautiful thing to see. So happy for you both."
Radio presenter Marvin Humes went on: "Massive news! Congrats guys..over the moon for you".
Actress Natalia Anderson continued: "Oh what beautiful news!!! Congratulations to you both darling!"
The happy news comes after years of Wright and Keegan being inundated with queries regarding their parenting plans.
Speaking to Women's Health back in 2020, the brunette beauty discussed how heartbreaking it can be to have their personal life up for discussion.
"I get asked about children whereas Mark wouldn't for example," she told the publication. "'Why haven't I had a child? When am I going to have a child?' I don't know what they want me to say. I don't know what the right or wrong answer is."
And addressing the same issue in January of this year - just days after confirming her pregnancy - Keegan reiterated that, just because they've announced they're expecting, it doesn't mean her fertility is something to be speculated upon.
She told The Mirror at the time: "It’s horrible. People don’t know if we’re trying. They don’t know the background of what’s happening.
"In this day and age, you shouldn’t be asking questions like that. 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."
