Ronan Keating's son Jack baby's name finally shared after tot's surprise arrival
Ronan Keating 's son Jack has shared his baby daughter's adorable name following the shock announcement he had become a dad.
The Love Island star, 23, became a father for the first time two months ago and finally revealed the name for the first time in an Instagram Q&A.
Jack – who is the eldest child of former couple Ronan Keating, 46, and Yvonne Connolly, 49 – made his shock announcement back in March by posting a sweet picture of himself cuddling the newborn.
The reality TV contestant welcomed his daughter with ex artist Keely Iqbal, who he co-parents with.
Having kept his baby's name quiet, Keely decided to make the reveal when one follower asked the much anticipated question to quiz the star over the tot's name.

New mum Keely has shared their daughter's nameKeely also responded to more fan questions, as one asked: "Does baby girl have a last name, daddy's, or is it double barrel?"
The new mum clarified the name was Maya Ann Keating and revealed the sweet nod to her own family.
She said: "Ann was my mum's name. She watches Maya from heaven."
During the chat she also shared that Maya weighed six pounds and four ounces when she was born.
When baby Maya arrived, Jack took to Instagram to share a black-and-white photo of himself holding the newborn and wrote: "Welcome to the world my little [princess emoji]".
Ronan commented: "Little cutie". Whilst Jack's mum Yvonne wrote: "I miss her so much already". Ronan's wife Storm Keating, 41, reacted with heart emojis.
The identity of the newborn's mother was not disclosed by Jack in his post and the reality TV star later suggested to The Sun that they will be "co-parenting".
Ronan spoke about becoming a grandparent on the One Show earlier this week. It came after his co-host Jermaine Jenas, 40, teased about him being a 'grandad'.

Former footballer Jermaine suggested Ronan would prefer to be referred to as something other than 'grandad'. Ronan responded: "Uh, Pops. We'll go with that. Perfect".
However, fans were left racking their brains after discovering the newborn tot may have been conceived before Jack flew out to hopefully find love in Casa Amor last summer.
One follower typed: "I know I'm bad at maths, but the math ain't mathing on this at all!!! Love Island isn't even 9 months ago yet. I mean I know accidents happen but…"
A second commented: "I'm so confused. The maths isn't adding up."
"So did he have a gf when he was in Love Island correct me if I'm wrong it said he was in the villa 8 months ago and a baby takes 9 ?" questioned a third.
