Michelle Keegan gushes over cousin's child as she cuddles up to the baby boy

Michelle Keegan looked a total natural with babies as she shared a picture of herself with cousin Katie Hough's firstborn child.

Captioning the sweet snap "He’s just too much", the actress looked stunning as she planted a kiss on the cheek of young Brody Anthony Allen on her latest Instagram post.

Looking stunning with her trademark dark hair worn down and sunglasses, the former Coronation Street star wore an off-shoulder floral dress as she launched her latest collaboration with Spectrum Collections in her back garden.

In another post, the 34-year-old shared her delight at celebrating her latest project with a video of herself popping a bottle of fizz as she toasted another successful career moment.

Underneath the post, the star's caption's reveals that the tasteful garden decor for the gathering was thanks to Peony Events, an event planning service owned by baby Brody's mum, Katie.

"Look how beautiful my garden looked, all inspired by the bags we’ve created!" Michelle wrote.

"@peonyeventsplanning Girls you absolutely smashed it!"

Husband Mark Wright was quick to praise his wife, commenting: "Proud of you x."

The couple announced their engagement in September 2013 after just nine months together.

The pair tied the knot in May 2015 in a lavish wedding, with the service held close to the bride's hometown in St Mary’s Church in Bury St Edmunds.

Michelle's dress was a show-stopping number, with Swarovski crystals adorning the stunning gown.

After six years of marriage, the Brassic star has been under intense speculation about just when she will start a family with the Heart radio presenter.

In an interview with You magazine earlier this year, the actress admitted that the constant questions about when she plans to get pregnant does affect her.

"Mark is asked about it occasionally but I’m asked every single time," she explained to the publication.

When asked whether their families still ask them when they are going to welcome a baby into the world, Michelle said: "Not anymore! People don’t mean any harm by it, but they know what the answer’s going to be."

It's not the first time Our Girl star has opened up about women being quizzed about motherhood.

In 2020, she noted the difference between the questions she and husband Mark receive about having a baby together.

"I do think it's different for a woman. It shouldn't be, but it is," she told Women's Health.

"I get asked about children whereas Mark wouldn't, for example. Why haven't I had a child? When am I going to have a child? I don't know what they want me to say. I don't know what the right or wrong answer is."

In September 2020, Mark's dad seemed to pay no notice to Michelle's pleas when he publicly asked the pair to make him a grandparent.

Under a picture of the happy couple and a baby, Mark Wright Snr commented: "Lovely baby and it's about time you made me a grandad and your mum a grandma."
