Ronan Keating and his wife Storm have announced the birth of their first child

Ronan and Storm Keating have announced the arrival of their first child together. A photo of Storm and the little boy, who is yet to be named, was posted on Instagram earlier today.

Ronan posted the photo along with a gushing post saying, 'Incredibly excited to announce the arrival. We're all bursting with love for the newest little member of our family!'

Storm has also posted a photo of her husband and their newborn.

The little boy is the couple's first baby together, however he is Ronan's fourth child as the former Boyzone singer has three children with his first wife.

Two of Ronan's children, Jack and Missy have also taken to social media posting photos of the family's newest arrival.

In recent days the couple have been getting ready for their baby with Storm posting photos of her Louis Vuitton: Damier Neverfull hospital bag stuffed full of essentials for a new mum, including a toy rabbit.

Recently Storm appeared to let slip that she was expecting a boy, after keeping his gender under wraps for months. When she initially posted the photo below the caption read,

'@_alikeating surprised us with this gift for her baby brother.'

However, it is thought she quickly 'corrected' it to say 'baby sister/brother haha', but many fans picked up on this quick correction!

Congratulations to the Keating family!
