Mark Wright's sister Jess shares rare insight into his and Michelle Keegan's parenting
EXCLUSIVE: The former TOWIE star, who is mum to son Presley, opened up about the Wright family's growing brood and how excited she is to see Mark and Michelle's daughter, Palma, grow up
Jess Wright has given fans a rare and heart warming glimpse into how her brother Mark Wright and sister-in-law Michelle Keegan are settling into life as new parents to their baby daughter, Palma.
The TOWIE star, who is mum to son Presley, spoke about her famous family's growing brood and how excited she is to see little Palma join the close-knit clan. Speaking at The Brompton Fountain gala, Jess spoke about how Presley already has plenty of playmates, with Jessica's younger brother, Ebbsfleet United footballer Josh Wright, having two sons – Josh Jr and Dustin. And now, with Mark and Michelle welcoming their first child in March, the family has another adorable addition.
"Presley is so close to his cousins Josh and Dustin, and, obviously, now we've got Palma who is going to fit right in," Jess gushed. "She's adorable! They all absolutely love spending time with each other and Palma is an angel. She's adorable, beautiful and so sweet. The boys love her and are very gentle with her."
Jess, who became a mum herself in 2022 when she welcomed Presley with husband William Lee-Kemp, revealed she was 'excited' to become an auntie again and couldn't be prouder of Mark and Michelle as first-time parents.
Mark, who shot to fame on The Only Way Is Essex, and Our Girl actress Michelle have been notoriously private about their journey into parenthood, making Jess's comments even more special for fans eager to know how they're getting on.
At the time of their baby announcement, Mark and Michelle posted an endearing black and white snapshot showing the proud new parents clasping hands with their tiny newborn. Their heartwarming social media caption read: "Together we have a new love to share... Our little girl" accompanied by a white heart emoji. They went on to divulge: "Palma Elizabeth Wright" following up with her birth date "06.03.25".
Jess gushed as she reposted: "Most beautiful addition to our family. I finally have a niece and I am so in love."
And when it comes to giving advice, Jess revealed it's a two-way street within the Wright family.
Assuring fans that her brother has taken to fatherhood naturally, she shared: "It's lovely seeing [Mark and Michelle] as parents, I knew they would be incredible parents and they are. We're always with each other anyway and we tell each other little bits, so there's always room to help each other out when you have babies. It's all such new territory."
With such a supportive and loving family around them, it sounds like baby Palma – whose sweet name is thought to be a nod to a special place in Spain close to Mark and Michelle's hearts – will have no shortage of cuddles, laughter, and playtime as she grows up alongside her doting cousins.
Fans of the Wright family will no doubt be thrilled to see the next generation continuing their famously strong family bonds.

Love Island 2025: What time does ITV show start tonight and who won the 2024 series? Love Island 2025 is set to return this summer and will be the 12th series of the hit ITV2 dating show so here's everything you need to know about the upcoming season Summer has arrived heralding the start once more of the nation's intense fixation with Love Island. This year, 2025, commemorates a decade since ITV breathed new life into Love Island, following its initial celebrity-centred series in 2005 and 2006. Blossoming into an unforeseen global sensation, the show has been responsible for introducing a number of now-familiar faces to British households. Notable contestants like Molly-Mae Hague, Tommy Fury, Chris Hughes, Maura Higgins, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, and Curtis Pritchard have all found significant success post-villa. The premise remains as straightforward as ever: a collection of singles gather in a villa looking to pair up, fall in love, and potentially clinch the £50,000 cash prize, reports the Manchester Evening News. Maya Jama is returning to host the 12th series (Image: ITV ) Article continues below Former ITV Love Island winners have a hilarious way of dealing with split rumours READ MORE: Last series saw Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan crowned winners by public vote, though they split in October, much to the dismay of fans. "A lot of you have been wondering about Josh and I and why we haven't been making appearances. "I know it's a big disappointment for a lot of you as it is for me too. Your support for us hasn't gone unnoticed and I will forever be grateful for it," expressed Mimi at the time. The previous season wasn't without its drama – it saw the surprise arrival of The Only Way Is Essex star Joey Essex in the villa, leaving viewers and fellow islanders alike stunned. Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan won series 11 of Love Island last summer (Image: ITV/REX/Shutterstock ) The inclusion of a celebrity participant sparked debate over whether this gave him an unfair edge in the game, although he was sent packing just before the final showdown. In a double-dose of romantic escapades this year, Love Island returns for its second stint following the All Stars edition that graced our screens in January. After a whirlwind 36 days on the earlier show, former contestants Casey O'Gorman and Gabby Allen — who were familiar faces from series nine and three respectively — emerged as victors, though they have regrettably parted ways since their win. Maya Jama is at the helm yet again this season, having stepped into Laura Whitmore's shoes as the host in 2023, after Whitmore's three-year tenure fronting the popular series. This year commemorates a decade since ITV breathed new life into Love Island (Image: ITV ) In the run-up to the latest season's premiere, Kyle Ashman made headlines by bowing out of the villa for 'personal reasons', despite his earlier announcement as part of the cast. An ITV representative confirmed: "For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the 'Love Island' villa as planned." Article continues below Tune in for the next chapter of Love Island at 9pm on Monday, June 9 on ITV2 and ITVX and will air Sunday to Friday going forward. And keeping with tradition, Love Island Unseen Bits will replace the main show on Saturdays. Love Island returns to ITV2 and ITVX on Monday, June 9 at 9pm
