BBG News

After the announcement that his ex-partner, Mark Wright, is expecting a child with his wife, Michelle Keegan, Lauren Goodger has finally spoken up about it.

Previously on TOWIE, one of the stars was in a long-term relationship with a fellow cast member named Mark for about ten years, but they broke up in 2012. It was said that the news left her feeling deeply upset and anxious.

Nevertheless, the reality television personality has now voiced her joy over the baby announcement, affirming sincerely, “I am genuinely thrilled that he will become a father, and I truly mean it.

To Closer, Lauren assured, “I’m not feeling anxious, down, or considering departing from Essex. Furthermore, my Christmas wasn’t ruined.

Recognizing that her history with Mark from their time on TOWIE will continue to intrigue others, she confirmed that she has progressed and is now focused on moving forward in her life.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d like to clarify that the latest news about Mark having a baby doesn’t particularly impact my daily routine. I’m not engrossed in his personal affairs, rather focusing on my own journey. Regardless of this development, my life will continue its course as usual.

After learning about the rumors suggesting she was very nervous, it followed that Lauren might run into the contented pair, Mark and Michelle, since they reside close by in Essex.

Previously, a source confided to The Sun that the news had dealt a significant blow to Lauren, leaving her utterly devastated. This impact was particularly severe because she hadn’t enjoyed a good Christmas, making this additional disappointment feel like the final touch on an already difficult situation.

‘It’s hit her hard, Mark’s building his perfect family and she’s being left behind.’

They went on saying: “She has always harbored much affection for Mark, as they used to be childhood sweethearts. In a perfect scenario, she would have reconnected with him.

Since Michelle and Mark reside nearby, she’s quite worried that their paths might cross at some point, an encounter she finds utterly dreadful.

Lauren denied the comments to The Sun and TopMob contacted Lauren’s representatives for comment.

Mark and Lauren, a couple who had an on-and-off relationship spanning over a decade, gained notoriety on the ITVBe reality program for plotlines centered on his frequent romantic advances towards other women, such as Lucy Mecklenburgh and Sam Faiers.

Mark and Lauren had an engagement on The Only Way Is Essex back in March 2011, but that relationship didn’t last long; he ended it five months afterward. Since then, their feelings towards each other have remained strained.

A year and a half later, Mark and Michelle met on a group holiday to Dubai and fell madly in love.

By May 2015, approximately a year and a half after their New Year’s vacation, they became engaged and eventually got married.

Although the relationship between the happy couple and Lauren hasn’t always run smoothly, it’s more amicable nowadays.

Prior to his marriage with Michelle, the ex-reality star expressed his anger towards his longtime partner through Twitter posts following a heated exchange of words online.

It appeared as though he found something problematic with Lauren’s somewhat indirect post, which read, ‘A man encounters the kind of woman he messes up with when he’s still young. He makes mistakes because there’s too much life to live. But eventually, he comes to understand that she’s ideal.’

Mark made a request: “If you’re reading this, I kindly ask that you respect my wife and cease your actions. I hope things go well for you, but please refrain from involving me, my life, and my wife in these matters. I’m confident there are other methods to earn money.

He then went on to re-tweet a series of responses from fans, all supporting his stance.

On Sunday, Mark the presenter and Michelle, formerly of Coronation Street, joyously announced they’re welcoming their first child in an endearing Instagram post.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I find myself gently caressing my growing belly, and with a twinkle in my eye, I say: “2025 promises to be an extraordinary year for me…✨

They got a flood of well-wishing comments on their Instagram post, with messages coming from friends like Rochelle Humes, Kelly Brook, Vicky Pattison, and their close friend Arg as well.

Michelle and Mark’s close pal has seemingly hinted that they are expecting a baby boy.

According to The Sun, it seemed as if Dylan Hunt, a friend and owner of the restaurant Sheesh in Essex, accidentally revealed some congratulatory news for Michelle and Mark, as numerous fans and celebrities flooded their comment sections with well-wishes.

The entrepreneur playfully hinted that his daughter, Gia, might be a match for Michelle and Mark’s son, all while extending his heartfelt congratulations.

He wrote: ‘Make sure he’s Good Looking and Rich, then I might let him take Gia out’.

Additionally, the report revealed that a fan swiftly identified the hint and remarked: ‘It seems to be a boy, haha.’

In her recent statement, Michelle subtly hinted at the arrival of a newborn by using an image of a baby sucking on a blue pacifier, undoubtedly fueling more curiosity among her followers.

The pair often dine at the restaurant, and they recently held a celebration for Mark’s dad’s 68th birthday there.

Eight years prior to revealing our exciting pregnancy news, I found myself acknowledging that the idea of starting a family with my beloved Michelle was quite challenging for me – a truth I shared after Mark’s admission.

Previously, he made it clear that he intended to postpone starting a family with his wife, the former Coronation Street actress whom he married in 2015, for about a year or two, prioritizing their respective careers over family life initially.

Appearing on Loose Women in 2016, he said: ‘It’s hard work with the pressure of having babies.’ 

Previously featured reality TV personality confessed that a significant portion of the stress originated from within his own family, along with the presumption that any offspring they may produce would carry their attractive traits.

He joked: ‘We’re going to give birth to an ugly duckling and let everyone down.

Aunt Debbie is the eldest among her siblings to become a grandma, and she often shares with my mom how wonderful it feels to be a grandmother instead of a mother.

‘So now, my mum’s on our case. Hurry up and make it happen, I want to be a nan.’ 

He stated: ‘I believe we still have about a year or two of her persistence left, and unfortunately, that’s something we’ll need to endure. When she delivers, there will likely be approximately 300 people named Wright present.’

Michelle, too, expressed her annoyance at being regularly asked about her potential family expansion.

2021 saw her tell You Magazine that while others often inquire about it, it’s none of their concern.

In an interview with You Magazine in 2021, she stated that although people frequently ask, it’s not something they need to know.

It seems like no one else can fathom what transpires within confined spaces. This could be why such a question has such a profound impact on me – it deals with matters of great privacy. While Mark gets asked about it sometimes, I find myself inquired about it constantly.

She admitted that no one asks about her plans anymore. While they don’t intend any harm, they understand that her response will likely remain the same.

In a 2019 interview, Michelle, then aged 32, expressed her annoyance about being repeatedly questioned in such a manner, stating: “These days, it’s not appropriate to pose questions like that.

She said: ‘They don’t know the background of what’s happening. It’s no one else’s business.

I often feel annoyed when people ask me questions solely due to my gender. However, I’ve become resilient against such instances; it’s almost like an automatic response for me to dismiss it, as it’s none of anyone else’s concern.
