On Sunday night’s Love Island, Ronan Keating’s son, Jack, revealed who his famous father is.
Ronan, 45, shares Jack along with daughters Missy, 21, and Ali, 16, with his ex-wife Yvonne Connolly, who he was married to from 1998 until 2015.
The 23-year-old, one of six new lads trying to cosy up to tempt the girls in Casa Amor, told the 19-year-old daughter of Michael Owen, Gemma, how important he considers family life.
Gemma and Jack were having a relaxed chat by the pool, when Jack told the dressage rider: “My mum and my little sister are big into show jumping and everything like that. I know you’re big into it as well.”
In response, Gemma said: “Oh ok, oh wow! So your mum is a showjumper? So what does your dad do?”
Social media marketer Jack - the eldest of Keating’s three children with ex-wife Yvonne, 48, said: “He’s a singer.”
When intrigued Gemma asks: “A well-known singer?” Jack says: “Yeah he is, you know Ronan Keating? That’s the old man.”
Jack also mentioned that his parents are no longer together in the informal chat, as well as revealing that he really values close family ties, with Gemma asking: “So you’re really family-orientated?” – with Jack responding: “I’m very family orientated. It would be something I’d definitely look for in a girl. I’ve got a big crazy family back home.”
