MICHELLE Keegan and Mark Wright have two touching meanings behind their newborn baby's name.
The couple have today confirmed the arrival of their first child in a sweet social media post.
Michelle, 37, and Mark, 38, have welcomed a daughter into the world and confirmed her name is Palma Elizabeth Wright.
Sharing their joy online alongside a beautiful black and white photo of their little girl, Michelle said: "Together we have a new love to share… Our little girl 🤍
"Palma Elizabeth Wright 06.03.25."
The Sun can now reveal there are two very sweet reasons the couple have chosen both monikers for their little girl.
Michelle and Mark have strong links to Mallorca, which is where they announced their pregnancy news to fans.
Palma is the capital of the Mediterranean island.
The couple chose the location for their bump shoot as they consider it their "second home", making no secret it is their "favourite place" to holiday.
During a visit to Mallorca in November, Michelle shared a carousel of images and wrote: “Just a couple of days in our fave place before the Christmas build up begins.”
An insider later revealed that it was during this trip that Mark and Michelle decided to shoot their pregnancy reveal on the beach.
A pal told The Sun: “Michelle and Mark went on a winter sun break in early November and chose to take the photograph there.
“It was taken on an empty beach by a friend when they knew no one would spot them.
“Majorca is like a second home to them so it felt special for them to take that photograph there."
Meanwhile, the couple chose Elizabeth for their daughter's middle name as tribute to Michelle's great-great grandmother.
In 2018, Michelle appeared on the BBC series Who Do You Think You Are? and discovered she had links on her mother's side to Spain, along with Portugal, Monaco and Gibraltar.
It then emerged that on the English side of her family, the actress' great-great grandmother, Elizabeth Kirwan, was part of the Suffragette movement.
Michelle learned that Elizabeth's daughter's birth had been registered by the famous Suffragette leader, Emmeline Pankhurst.
The actress told a historian on the show: "I was speaking to my great aunty Paula, who was telling me about her grandma Elizabeth, and she was telling me about how she was the matriarch of the street and of the community.
"She used to take people in and everyone saw her as this strong leader of the community."
'Taking it forward'
Following the discovery, she told the cameras: "I've always been proud of my heritage and I've always been very, very proud of my family always.
"From my grandma to my mum, I've always been around strong women and now, looking at my ancestors and my blood line, I totally understand why now.
"On my mum's side I have my grandma and my great grandma who were evacuated from a totally different country on their own and seen as refugees.
"And on my grandad's side, which I didn't know anything about until the past few days, my ancestor was a suffragette and she fought for women. And she fought for women's rights.
"It's like a jigsaw that's all fitted together and it all makes sense now.
"I'm really proud of the fact these women and in me and part of me, and that's what I'm going to take forward."
