Michelle Keegan has delighted fans by offering a peek into the glamorous first birthday celebration of her daughter Palma, as she also cleared up rumors of tension with her mother-in-law, Carol Wright.
The Coronation Street actress, 38, and her husband Mark Wright threw a lavish party for their daughter at their Essex mansion, with the help of top event planners Luxe Events and Parties. Michelle took to Instagram on Saturday to share adorable photos of the event, including shots of Palma’s multiple outfits and sweet soft toys.
“Can I ask where the past years gone, please?” Michelle wrote alongside the images, reflecting on how quickly her little one has grown. The posts revealed a beautiful, pastel-themed party filled with bouncy castles, soft play sets, and balloons. A two-tier cake, pink-and-white cupcakes, and white chocolate cake pops with pink bows were among the treats served at the party.
🌸 A Special Mother’s Day Tribute
Michelle’s posts also served as a heartfelt tribute to her daughter on Mother’s Day. She wrote: “Happy Mother’s Day to the best mum I could ever have wished for.” In another post, she expressed her gratitude for the loving, supportive bond she shares with her family, especially as she navigates motherhood.
However, Michelle also used her platform to address recent rumors involving her relationship with Carol Wright. Following reports that Carol had been labeled the “mother-in-law from hell,” Michelle dismissed any claims of tension between them.
Clearing the Air
The rumors began after a controversial segment on the Wright At Home podcast, where Carol and her daughters discussed their views on thong bikinis. The conversation sparked backlash, especially from fans who believed the comments were aimed at Michelle, who runs her own swimwear line, Orfila Bee, and often posts bikini photos.
In response, Michelle posted a selfie with her mother Jacqueline, daughter Palma, and herself, all wearing matching pyjamas, further affirming the positive relationship she shares with her family. In the caption, she wrote: “2 mummies and a baby. How cuuuuute are these pjs from my @veryuk collection??? Perfect for Mother’s Day to match all the generations.”
Despite the negative press, Michelle’s representatives have refuted claims of tension, stating that Carol and Michelle share a close, supportive relationship.
🎂 The Wright Family Drama
In the midst of celebrating Palma’s milestone, Michelle’s family life has remained in the spotlight. Recently, Michelle’s sister Sophie opened up about the stress caused by Michelle’s whirlwind marriage to Lee Andrews, expressing her frustration on The Katie Price Show podcast. She also revealed how the surprise news of Michelle’s remarriage left the family in shock, particularly when the kids found out via a group chat.
Despite the drama, Michelle continues to focus on her family’s well-being and the joy of motherhood, especially as she and Mark prepare for the next chapter with Palma.
✨ Wishing Palma a lifetime of love and laughter! 💖
