Mark Wright Reveals the Heartfelt Meaning Behind His Baby’s Unique Name

PROUD DAD MOMENT! Mark Wright MELTS HEARTS as He Brings Baby Palma to Work — ‘It’s the Best Feeling Ever!’
Heart FM star Mark Wright gave fans a rare and heartwarming look at his newborn daughter Palma, cradling her on his shoulder during a visit to the radio studio.
The new dad couldn’t hide his joy, and when appearing on This Morning to promote his radio show with Olly Murs, he opened up about the pure happiness of fatherhood — and how little Palma has already changed his world.
He was asked what had prompted himself and wife Michelle Keegan to name their daughter Palma, asking him about the reports they had named her after their favourite Spanish resort.
Mark simply explained: ‘That’s what the papers say, we just love the name, we love the name Palmer with an “er” and then we just liked the way it read, so we just love the name really.’

The former TOWIE star also revealed the three words of guidance that Ed Sheeran – who has two daughters – had given him.
He explained: ‘We saw Ed last week, I’m a super fan, and he walked up and went “how are you feeling?” He said: “Trust me, it gets easier.”‘
Yet despite finding some aspects challenging, Mark insisted fatherhood was ‘incredible’, adding: ‘They say it’s the best feeling in the world, they’re not wrong.’
Mark previously described fatherhood as the ‘biggest achievement’ of his life since welcoming baby Palma into the world with Michelle on March 6.
He told his radio co-host Olly: ‘Mate, it’s actually hard to put into words.
‘It’s the biggest achievement of my life its all I think about but obviously hats go off to my wife she is an absolute super human, a superhero for bringing this baby into the world.’
Sharing his appreciation for Michelle, he added: ‘It makes you realise what our mums did for us and makes me have so much more respect than I already had and what women had to go through.
‘It’s the best feeling in the world. I wake up every morning just so excited to see her face.’
Recalling the first moment he held Palma, he continued: ‘That moment when I held her in my arms, it gets me emotional now thinking about it.’

He continued: ‘I suppose everything else goes out the window and its made me realise what life is all about and my little baby Palma I love you so much and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.
‘It’s a very special feeling. I cant really put it into words. We’ve waited a little bit of time, we’ve chased our dreams and our careers and now we’re here. We’ve got a baby.’
Mark and Michelle announced the news of their daughter’s birth last month with a sweet snap shared to Instagram.
In a sweet black-and-white photo, the proud new parents held Palma’s tiny hand, with the newborn dressed in a crochet set.
It’s believed the couple chose the name Palma because of their strong links to Mallorca, their go-to holiday destination and the setting for their pregnancy reveal photo shoot.
Michelle married Mark in May 2015 and the couple live together in an Essex mansion they built from scratch.
