Ronan Keating is absolutely smitten with his new role as a grandfather and has been singing the praises of his son Jack , calling him a "great dad." The 47-year-old Boyzone star couldn't be prouder of his 25-year-old son, who rose to fame on ' Love Island ', for taking to fatherhood like a duck to water with his baby girl Maya. Speaking to OK! Magazine, he gushed: "It's all wonderful, it's lovely.
Maya is a beautiful baby girl and Jack is doing great." Ronan added: "Jack's a great dad and he's doing really well." Ronan, who shares Cooper, 7, and Coco, 4, with his wife Storm , also has three other children, Jack, Missy, 23, and Ali, 19, from his previous marriage to Yvonne Connolly.
Fans were taken by surprise in 2023 when Jack announced last March that he had become a father, breaking the news on social media with a stunning black and white photo of him holding his new-born daughter , captioning: "Welcome to the world my little (princess)." Proud grandad Ronan responded with a comment saying: "Little cutie". While Jack initially kept the identity of his daughter's mother under wraps, it was later revealed to be designer Keely Iqbal.
Taking to her Instagram stories earlier this year, Keely revealed that Jack had actually missed the birth of his daughter when asked by a follower what Maya's father did during her labour. "Was very lucky to have my sister @grxcemia._ very solid birth partner and hand squeezer", she replied, followed by a laughing emoji.
