Congratulations are in order for Jack Keating - the son of our very own Ronan Keating and former Love Island star - as he has surprised fans by announcing that he has become a dad for the first time! Taking to Instagram, Jack shared a sweet post revealing he is now the proud dad to a baby girl.

Jack, who appeared on Love Island in the summer of 2022, shared a black and white image of him holding his new bundle of joy, writing: 'Welcome to the world my little 👸'.

Jack's father - Boyzone legend Ronan Keating - took to the comments to share his joy, with Jack's daughter making him a grandad for the first time. In a sweet comment, Ronan wrote: 'Little Cutie. ❤️'.

Of course, the comments were also flooded with many other messages of congratulations. Jack's Love Island co-stars were quick to share the love, with Luca Bish writing: 'Congratulations brother 🫶🏽❤️', Paige Thorne commenting: 'Congratulations hunny!!!❤️' (sic) and Danica Taylor adding: 'Congratulations babes!!!!❤️'.

Jack appeared on the 2022 series of Love Island, which took place over the summer. He entered the show as a Casa Amor contestant, but despite having good chats with Gemma Owen and Ekin-Su, was not chosen in the re-coupling and was subsequently dumped from the island.

Jack's baby announcement comes as a shock to fans, with the influencer telling The Independent earlier this month that he's: 'Still single and ready to mingle'.

The TV star continued: 'I’m on Hinge, but I don’t use it too seriously. I dip in every once in a while and I’m enjoying being single.'

At the moment, it is unknown who Jack has welcomed his daughter with.
