Ronan Keating's wife Storm and his other children as Jack appears on Love Island

The Love Island stars have some major celebrity connections this year, with Gemma Owen being the daughter of football legend Michael Owen.

She isn’t alone now though, as Ronan Keating’s son Jack just burst into Casa Amor, prepared to turn a few heads of the so-called settled couples.

Ronan, 45, has reacted to his son’s debut on the ITV show, saying “let’s go!” as he posted a picture of Jack on the series.

Before Jack stepped on the Island, he said of his father: “Yeah my dad is a singer. He will be watching when I’m on it for sure.

“He’s buzzing for me, me and my dad are very close, we’re best mates.”

Who is Ronan Keating married to?

Musician Ronan is married to TV producer Storm Keating.

They first met when they were working together on the Australian version of the X Factor.

At 39 years old, she also finds time for fashion design and regularly blogs about various topics.

They tied the knot in 2015 in Edinburgh and have been married ever since.

Jack saying he and his dad are "best mates" has clearly always been true, as he was the best man at the wedding when he was just 16 years old.

Who was Ronan Keating’s first wife?

Ronan was first wed to Yvonne Connolly, with the two married for 14 years.

They tied the knot in 1998 and were together until their split in 2010.

This was because of a chance look at their phone bills, when Yvonne realised Ronan had been calling a number she didn’t recognise.

It turned out to be Boyzone backing dancer Francine Cornell, who Ronan had been having an affair with.

In an interview on Brendan O'Connor's Cutting Edge in 2018, Yvonne said: "I did get in touch with the girl involved, and I arranged to meet her in a hotel - my hotel, which she did.

"I just needed answers. I just needed the truth, and I needed to make sure stories collaborated. It was very hard to figure out who you can trust.

"So this was the answer to it. I was going to meet this girl, a quick 20-minute conversation, and we’d be done and dusted.

"And in fairness to her, she came and met me. But the 20-minute conversation turned into a couple of bottles of wine."

Yvonne went on: "After a few hours I realised she needed it as much as I did and I know it sounds very dramatic, but she was as much as a victim as I was. I think we both got something from it.

"When I look back, this is what it all boils down to: it was basically two girls in love with the same boy who over a five-hour conversation realised that that boy was not who we thought he was."

How many children does Ronan Keating have?

Including Jack, Ronan has five children from his two marriages.

With Yvonne, he shares Jack, 23, Missy, 21 and Ali, 16.

He and Storm have two children, Cooper, five, and two-year-old Coco Knox.

Ronan regularly shares snaps of his family on social media, though before Jack entered Love Island, rumours swirled it was actually Missy joining the other bombshells.

Ronan was asked about this on Good Morning Britain, saying: “I don’t know how I’d feel about it. I wouldn’t be able to watch.”
