Actress Michelle Keegan is reportedly struggling to feel safe in her £3.5million Essex mansion after a masked robbery earlier this year. The incident occurred in February while she was heavily pregnant with her daughter Paloma, forcing her and husband Mark Wright to lock themselves in a bedroom.
A source told The Sun that the house was once her 'dream home', but she is now 'trying really hard to fall in love with being there again'. Since the break-in, Keegan has become more private, reducing her Instagram activity and avoiding showing off her wealth or home online.
The couple have also faced criticism from local mums who allegedly 'laughed at' them for flaunting their wealth, with the source claiming this 'sparked jealousy with the wrong people'. Keegan and Wright are now prioritising privacy, especially after the birth of their daughter in March.
Keegan is taking inspiration from celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Adele, who maintain successful careers without sharing their private lives. She now posts less frequently, never in real time, and avoids boasting about possessions.
This is not the first crime affecting Keegan this year; last month, her Range Rover was scratched, which she shared on Instagram Stories, writing: 'Hope the person who did this felt better about themselves afterwards... Smiling on the outside, screaming on the inside.'
