Mark and Michelle ‘sick of the constant scrutiny'

Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan want the relentless questioning of their six-year marriage to stop

Mark Wright felt compelled last week to silence critics who have questioned his relationship with Michelle Keegan, saying, “Nobody needs to know how much Michelle and I see each other.”

The 34-year-old hit back because the couple, who married in 2015, have faced constant scrutiny about the time they spend apart due to their work commitments – and even matters as private as whether or not they plan to have children.

Now, a source has told new that the former TOWIE star and the Our Girl actress are sick and tired of having to defend every aspect of their relationship, from where they live and how much time they spend together to if they’re going to become parents.

“Mark is sick of the constant scrutiny of his marriage,” the source told us. “They get it from all angles, with people questioning how often they are together.”

The source went on to say that Michelle, also 34, has been very supportive of her husband after the difficult year he has endured – in which his family was devastated by Covid, culminating in the death of his beloved Uncle Eddie.
