Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan’s baby girl Palma enjoys adorable playdate with fellow showbiz star’s daughter in heartwarming rare snap

by

Mark Wright brought his seven-month-old daughter, Palma, for a playdate with his friend Olly Murs’ daughter, Madison, on Monday. It was a fun get-together for the two babies, both from showbiz families.

Olly, age 41, recently posted a sweet and uncommon photo of his two young daughters playing at home, while he and his radio colleague, Mark, 38, looked on with pride.

The singer of ‘Heart Skips A Beat’ shared a sweet photo on Instagram with the caption: ‘Just a couple of dads.’

Mark, a well-known TV host, and his wife, actress Michelle Keegan, welcomed their daughter, Palma, in March of this year, becoming parents for the first time.

Olly and his wife, Amelia, welcomed their daughter Madison 18 months ago. Last month, their family grew again with the arrival of their son, Albert.

The famous musician has been giving Mark a lot of advice about raising his children. He’s also said before that he really wants their kids to have a close relationship, just like he and Mark do.

Before Palma arrived, Mark shared that Olly had been helping him get ready to become a father.

He was really enthusiastic, telling me I’d love it and that it’s going to be a fantastic experience. I also had the chance to see him perform when we went to the European Championship.

He recently became a father while we were in Germany and was happily sharing all the details. He’s thrilled with fatherhood and is clearly a wonderful dad.

As a lifestyle advisor, I often share insights with clients preparing for big milestones. Back in August, I actually had a chat with Michelle and Mark, letting them know what kinds of changes they might see as their little Palma approached her six-month mark. It’s all about being prepared, you know?

He told The Mirror that people enjoying their trip to Majorca should make the most of it, as things will likely be much more difficult in Palma in a few months. He predicts conditions will worsen significantly.

I also told him about the challenges of starting solids with the baby. It’s scary when they seem to be choking, and my wife always says they just need to figure out how to eat. It’s that gag reflex thing – it’s natural, but I just can’t watch! I have to go to another room when it happens.

He expressed his wish for their children to become close friends, mentioning that he and Wright had already discussed spending time together as families, including going on vacation, which he anticipates will be enjoyable.

Michelle and Amelia really should meet – I think they’d become great friends. I know they have a lot of shared interests and would get along really well, and I value my friendship with both of them.

I’ve been listening to Mark and Olly for ages – they’re brilliant! They’ve been friends forever, and it’s been so fun hearing them together on Heart Radio’s breakfast show since it started earlier this year.

Mark shared that he and the other person first connected at the Brit Awards eight years ago and quickly became friends.

I met him a couple of months later while filming Soccer Aid, and we spent the entire week together. We quickly became really good friends.

He visited me in Los Angeles, and we spent a couple of weeks together. We really connected during that time, and our relationship developed from there.

‘When you meet someone you either get on, or you don’t, and we get on like a house on fire.’ 

This follows Olly revealing to Mark on their radio program that he had to leave his daughters, Amelia and Madison, just two days after they were born, because of tour commitments with Take That.

Months later, he confessed that the decision had deeply affected him, especially when he realized he’d missed out on getting to know his daughter during her infancy.

The actor, known for his role in Dear Darling, told Mark he cried because he felt so guilty. He’s determined to be a more involved father this time around with his son, Albie.

Olly explained that it was very difficult leaving his newborn baby just two days after the birth to go on tour with Take That.

It didn’t really hit me until a few months later when I was talking with Amelia. That’s when I suddenly started crying, realizing I hadn’t had the chance to truly connect with the baby.

I really admire how Mark stood by his friend, even with everything going on. He reminded him that he was making such a big sacrifice for his family’s future, and that meant a lot. It was a supportive thing to say during a tough time.
