The 'Coronation Street' actor - who plays Gary Windass on the cobbles - has revealed the loved up couple are expecting their second child together and their two-year-old son Archie already chosen a name for their unborn baby girl.
Speaking to OK! magazine, Mikey said: "We've just moved house and put the name on the wallpaper that Rachael has chosen. Archie wouldn't let us call her anything else anyway, so he partly chose the name."
And after Rachael struggled with her first pregnancy, the 32-year-old soap star admitted they probably won't have more children after their daughter is born.
He added: "I remember Rach insisting, 'I'm not having any pain relief,' and then about six hours in, she's like, 'Give me everything!'
"I would be highly surprised if we had any more. Two is a great number."
Meanwhile, Mikey pledged his future to 'Corrie' earlier this month as bosses want his alter ego Gary to be a "long-term villain" and more of an "anti-hero" than classic killer Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre) after admitting he was responsible for the death of Rana Habeeb (Bhavna Limbachia), who died when the Underworld factory roof collapsed on top of her.
He recently said: "Our producer Iain MacLeod says this is by no means an exit storyline.
"Obviously producers come and go, but Iain has specified this is not planned as Gary's exit and they want to keep him as a long-term villain, more of an anti-hero than in the Pat Phelan mould."
Gary has also bumped off evil loan shark Rick Neelan (Greg Wood), and Mikey has teased his alter-ego's "increasingly calculated side" will come out soon.
He added: "Saying that he has become more calculated because he's had to, although he hasn't killed in cold blood so far.
"With the factory roof he wasn't intending to kill, it was financial desperation. Then Rick was trying to kill him so he defended himself. That increasingly calculated side to Gary will come out."
