Actress Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright are in a “perfect love bubble” with their new baby daughter as a friend lifted the lid on their new-found bliss.

The pal said her and Mark have “shut up shop and cleared the diary” as they decamped with baby Palma to their Essex mansion.

The baby – named after their Majorcan capital – was born a week ago, and they told only the immediate family circle. A source said: “They wanted to keep the news very private and bask in the glory of a new-born without any distractions without the world knowing. They are in a perfect love bubble with no external noises, and it’s been total and utter bliss.”

A pal said that Michelle had a couple of things in the pipeline but “much further down the line” so she could enjoy being a mum to Palma.

A source added: “It’s such a special time for them both; they are head over heels in love and can’t believe they have created this tiny person. The last week has been utterly wonderful.”

The pair announced the arrival of their daughter with an intimate and tender black and white photo.

Ex-Coronation Street actress Michelle, 37, and former Towie star Mark, 38, were snapped holding hands with tiny Palma Elizabeth. They posted on Instagram: “Together we have a new love to share… Our little girl” followed by a white heart emoji. Palma is thought to have been conceived in the Spanish city. Victoria and David Beckham named first-born son Brooklyn after he was conceived in New York.

Michelle gave birth last Thursday. Mark’s sister Jess wrote : “Most beautiful addition to our family. I finally have a niece and I am so in love.” The couple, who married in 2015, announced the lifechanging news by sharing a pic of themselves on the beach of a Spanish island with Michelle’s baby bump proudly on display. In a joint post, they wrote in December: “2025 is going to be a special one for us.”

The couple married at St Mary’s Church in Bury St Edmunds and celebrated their nine-year wedding anniversary last May.

Michelle has previously spoken of her frustration over being asked whether she was going to start a family with Mark.

She said: “In this day and age, you shouldn’t ask questions like that.” She added: “They don’t know the background of what’s happening. It’s no one else’s business. I get so frustrated. I’m asked purely because I’m a woman. But I’m immune to it now – it’s like a reaction and as soon as I hear it I brush it off, as it’s no one else’s business.’
