Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright are soaking up the winter sun in Abu Dhabi with their nine-month-old daughter, Palma, staying at the Rixos Premium resort on Saadiyat Island, where rooms cost around £2,000 a night. The former Coronation Street actress and The Only Way Is Essex star have been sharing glimpses of their luxurious escape on Instagram, as a cold weather front approaches the UK.
Photos posted by Keegan show the family enjoying the sun-drenched setting, with palm trees and swimming pools. One snap captures baby Palma curiously watching a fountain, while another shows Keegan pushing her daughter in a pushchair as the sun sets. A video clip panning around the hotel was captioned: 'Slow peaceful mornings.'
Keegan, 38, also shared a candid moment of rocking Palma in a pram, writing: 'My new normal on holiday. Shade, find a quiet place, cramp in foot from rocking, forgot my headphones.' The couple, who married in 2015, have previously spoken about maintaining a balanced life away from the spotlight.
Mark Wright, who turns 39 on Tuesday, has gushed about fatherhood, telling Heart radio: 'It's the best feeling in the world – I wake up every morning just so excited to see her face.' He added that becoming a dad has given him more respect for mothers. The couple welcomed Palma in March 2025.
