Ronan Keating has left fans 'feeling old' as he shared a sweet two-word response to becoming a grandad at 46. His son Jack Keating shocked fans by revealing he has become a father, less than a year after he appeared in the Love Island villa.
The 23-year-old was one of the Casa Amor bombshells during the 2022 summer series which was eventually won by Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti.
Jack took to Instagram on Thursday night (March 9) to announce the birth of his first child, whose name hasn't been revealed. The reality TV star shared a black-and-white photo of himself cradling the newborn baby.

He wrote in the caption: "Welcome to the world my little [princess emoji]". The post quickly racked up thousands of likes on the social media platofrm and the congratulatory messages came flooding in from Jack's Love Island co-stars and followers, including a response from his dad Ronan.
The BBC The One Show host - who shares his three eldest children, including Jack, with his ex-wife Yvonne Connolly - wrote in the comments section: "Little cutie," alongside a heart emoji.
One person wrote in a reply to the father-of-five Ronan, who is now married to his wife Storm, in the comments section of Jack's post: "Big congratulations on becoming a grandad. It's the best feeling in the world". Another said: "Congrats mate! The fact your dad is a grandad makes me feel extremely old!"
His friends and family also raced to the comments to gush over the newborn with his mum, Yvonne writing: "I miss her so much already" and step-mum Storm simply posting a string of heart emojis.
Others were surprised by the big announcement, with one saying: "Woah I missed a whole book - congratulations Jack!", another adding: "Woah have I missed something?!"
