Mark Wright’s Dad Bod is REAL!

Mark Wright mentioned that he is currently in his “fatherly phase,” as he relished a vacation with his wife, Michelle Keegan, and their daughter, Palma.

In March, the reality TV personality, aged 38, together with his spouse, also 37 years old, shared the news about the arrival of their first baby. They’ve been delighting in their initial experiences as new parents during these past few weeks.

Mark took to Instagram on Thursday and shared an adorable photo of himself cradling Palma in bed.

Additionally, the radio host revealed snaps featuring him grinning with Michelle while they savored a beverage under the warm sunlight.

It seemed they were residing in the countryside, given that Mark posted more pictures – one showing him on a bike ride and another capturing a scenic lake view.

Alongside the post, he wrote: ‘In my Dad era…. trip away with my girls’.

Mark shared some insights into the challenges he’s facing as a first-time parent of a newborn during his conversation with Olly Murs on their Heart FM radio program earlier today.

The disclosure occurred when they shared a listener’s message, expressing that sifting through their wardrobe was “exhausting”.

Mark playfully retorted: “Lisa, let’s revisit what you mentioned a moment ago – organizing your wardrobe is exhausting; I can hardly listen to you complain about being tired at the moment.

Since my little one, Palma, has been keeping me incredibly exhausted, this morning Olly remarked, “You look utterly drained.

Smiling, Olly jokingly remarked: “I never noticed before, but it seems like you’ve developed those small bags under your eyes recently. It must be a ‘dad’ or ‘parent’ thing, as you grow older, you start to see these signs.

Mark agreed: ‘Yeah, they say dad bod don’t they, they never warn you about dad eyes’.

Regardless of his sleepless nights, the reality TV personality couldn’t help but express his joy as a father.

He mentioned that it’s simply fantastic, but there’s an exception – when he’s struggling to soothe her after a bottle feed in the middle of the night, it can be a real challenge.

Mark considers the arrival of baby Palma, born on March 6 with Michelle, as the greatest accomplishment of his life so far.

He told Olly: ‘Mate, it’s actually hard to put into words.

This milestone in my life is unquestionably the greatest I’ve ever attained; it’s always on my mind. Yet, let me take a moment to express my utmost admiration for my incredible wife. She truly embodies a superhuman, a real-life superhero, for having successfully delivered our baby.

Expressing his admiration for Michelle, he noted: ‘She helps me understand the sacrifices our mothers made for us and deepens my respect even further. It’s truly awe-inspiring to consider the struggles that women have faced.’

‘It’s the best feeling in the world. I wake up every morning just so excited to see her face.’

Reflecting on the instant I cradled Palma, I shared: “When I embraced her there, it stirs feelings within me just to remember it.

It seems as though everything else becomes insignificant, and this experience has helped me understand the true meaning of life. My dear Palma, I hold you in such high regard and am eagerly looking forward to spending the remainder of my days with you.

Experiencing an extraordinarily unique sensation – one that’s hard to express in language. After a long wait, pursuing ambitions in life and work, we’ve finally arrived at this point. Now, we are proud parents of a newborn child.

Earlier this month, Mark and Michelle revealed the arrival of their newborn daughter through a heartwarming photo posted on Instagram.

Gazing at an enchanting monochrome snapshot, I find myself captivated by the sight of the elated parents cradling their little bundle of joy, swaddled in delicate crocheted attire – none other than our beloved Palma herself.

They likely picked the name Palma as a tribute to their deep ties with Majorca, their favorite vacation spot and the location where they unveiled their pregnancy photos.

In May 2015, Michelle tied the knot with Mark, and ever since, this newlywed pair has resided in a custom-built Essex mansion that they constructed themselves.
