Ronan Keating loves life as a grandfather to son Jack’s ‘beautiful’ baby Maya

Ronan Keating loves life as a grandfather to son Jack’s ‘beautiful’ baby Maya

Ronan Keating loves being a grandfather and has described his son Jack as a “great” father.
The 47-year-old Boyzone singer has heaped praise on his 25-year-old son, the former Love Island star, for being a natural father to his newborn daughter Maya.
He told OK! Magazine: “It’s all wonderful, it’s beautiful. Maya is a beautiful little girl and Jack is doing great.”
“Jack is a great dad and he’s doing really well.”
Ronan is father of Cooper (7) and Coco (4) with his wife Storm and has children Jack, Missy (23) and Ali (19) with his first wife Yvonne.
Jack surprised his fans with the announcement that he had become a father last March.
He made the news of his birth public with a surprising announcement on social media: In an Instagram post, he shared a black-and-white photo of himself holding his little daughter in his arms.
In the caption he wrote: “Welcome to the world my little (princess).”
Ronan commented: “Little cutie.”
Jack did not identify her mother at the time, but it turned out that she was designer Keely Iqbal.
He appeared in the Casa Amor phase of ITV2 dating show Love Island in July 2022, but went home single after failing to find love on television.
In an interview published by Independent.ie, Jack insisted that he was still single at the time and was looking for love on dating apps.
He explained: “I’m still single and ready to meet new people. I’m on Hinge (the dating app), but I don’t take it too seriously. I check in every now and then and enjoy being single.”
He added: “People think my account is fake. I’m verified, but they still think I’m a catfish who stole someone else’s photos. I’m like, ‘Trust me – I’m real.'”
Jack also returned to television in his ongoing search for love – filming an appearance on ITV show ‘Dinner Date’.
