Mark Wright's family question the actress over starting a family, and his sister Jess tells them to stop meddling
Their busy careers have forced them to live thousands of miles apart, with Michelle Keegan living in the UK whilst husband Mark Wright works as a presenter on showbiz news show, Extra in Los Angeles.
And after insisting late last year that a baby wasn’t in their immediate plans, the actress recently revealed she had no intention of moving out to the States.
But insiders say Michelle, 30, was left frustrated during a hen do in Las Vegas last weekend – for Mark’s brother Josh’s fiancé, Hollie Kane - after being asked by mother-in-law Carol Wright, 58, and Mark’s equally excited aunties about her plans to relocate to LA and start a family
In 2016, Carol hinted at her desperation for the couple – who are due to celebrate their third wedding anniversary later this month - to start a family, revealing, “I will be [a grandmother] soon, I'm sure. And they reckon they come like buses, so I know that's going to happen to me.”

Mark's sister Jess Wright, 32, has also spoken of her desire for the pair to have children, revealing in 2015, "I can't wait to be an auntie because I can give them back!"
But insiders say Jess - who recently split from Strictly dancer, Giovanni Pernice - sensed Michelle's anguish and swooped in to defend her, urging her family to “back off” and apologising to Michelle for any pressure she's ever caused herself.
The source says, “Jess told her family to stop meddling and pointed out they'd made Michelle feel uncomfortable."
