Ronan Keating and Yvonne Connolly put on a united front last weekend to celebrate daughter Missy's 21st birthday and were seen partying together for the first time since their high-profile split..
The pair were married for 12 years before parting ways in 2010, after it emerged the Boyzone singer had been unfaithful to Yvonne with a UK backing dancer.
They came together on Sunday night to celebrate Missy’s 21st birthday at House in Dublin.
The influencer threw an epic birthday bash in Dublin venue House, which was attended by Missy's family and friends, as well as her Dancing with the Stars partner Ervinas Merfeldas.
In a video posted on Missy’s pro dance partner Ervinas Merfeldas Instagram page, Ronan can be seen addressing the crowd as he said: “I want to thank you for being here tonight, being here for Missy moo. Storm and I are very proud to be here tonight, it’s been a hell of a night for you Missy moo. I mean, we won't talk about it, we’ll move on. You’re 21, you little rascal.
“That’s it now, I got no say. Off you go.”
His ex-wife Yvonne then walked towards Ronan to take the mic with Ronan gesturing to her as she walked towards him.
“Howiya Yvonne,” he said as she took the mic from him as she responded politely, “Hello Ronan”.
Paying tribute to her daughter, she said: “As a mother I’m very proud and I have to say I'm so happy to see so many Malahide people here tonight.” as Ronan takes a drink of his red wine.
It was an emotional night for Missy who broke down in tears on Dancing With The Stars after she was voted out of the show after being in the bottom two against Erica Cody.
But the model didn't let this ruin her night as she partied the evening away with her pals.
Ronan has since remarried Australian beauty Storm and the couple have two children, Coco and Cooper, together.
Yvonne has also found love with cinematographer John Conroy for almost nine years and is now based in Kildare after moving out of her former Malahide home she once shared with Ronan.
In 2018, Ronan opened up about co-parenting their children Ali, Missy and Jack with Yvonne, saying: “It wouldn’t be easy all the time — but you try for the children always to just remain calm and get through it.
“You’ve got to always remain in an adult state of mind so that you can deal with it. There’s times when I get very angry, very frustrated and you really have to bottle that, you’ve got to protect the children always."
He spoke about making sure the children are "the priority".
“Raising those children from separate places, two separate views . . . once that breaks down your opinions change and your version of events changes, so you have to be able to manage that and to make sure the children are the priority.”
Ronan was just 21 when he married Yvonne, two months after the death of his mother Marie from cancer. He said this was “not necessarily the right” decision and said he tells his eldest son Jack to enjoy himself and wait until his 30s before considering settling down.
