Ronan Keating’s bitter feud with Louis Walsh, Love Island relative, wife and net worth

In recent years, Ronan Keating has proved that he’s a man who can do just about anything. A singer, presenter and actor - there aren’t many front-facing showbiz jobs that he hasn’t turned his hand to.

For many, Ronan will best be known as a member of Irish boy band Boyzone. After the band initially split in 2000, the 46-year-old paved a solo career for himself and even had his song, When You Say Nothing At All, featured in cult film Notting Hill

These days Ronan can be seen alongside Welsh presenter Alex Jones and former professional footballer Jermaine Jenas on The One Show sofa. He also presents on the radio for MagicFM.

But what happened between Ronan and Boyzone manager Louis Walsh, which one of his relatives appeared on Love Island, who is he married to and what is his net worth? Here’s everything you need to know.

Why did Ronan feud with Louis Walsh?

After Boyzone split in 2000, Louis Walsh briefly continued to manage Ronan. This was until the pair had a bitter falling out.

At the time, Louis told the press: "[Ronan] wasn't the most talented one – he's not a great singer and he's got no personality." Ronan later told Closer Magazine: "That man absolutely tried to ruin me and if he thinks we can ever hug and make up he can forget it. I haven't heard from him in three years and I wouldn't have a problem if I never saw him again. He's not a nice character."

By the time Boyzone celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2013, Louis had stopped managing the group, claiming his tenure as manager had ended "badly".

Ronan’s son Jack, 24, appeared on Love Island last year. Speaking on a podcast about watching his son in the villa, Ronan said: "All of these thoughts go through your head before the show, and when it actually comes to the show, it's like watching a horror movie, you have the pillow up in front of you the whole time in fear, waiting for that jump moment."

Despite failing to strike a connection with any of his fellow Islanders, Jack celebrated the birth of his first child earlier this year - see what Ronan had to say about that here.
