love Island #love Islandstar Jack Keating has broken his silence after welcoming his newborn daughter.
The 23-year-old reality TV star, who entered Casa Amor as a bombshell just eight months ago, announced he had become a dad for the first time on Thursday.

While he hadn’t yet confirmed the identity of the tot’s mum, it was later revealed to be artist Keely Iqbal.
He has now opened up on their relationship and co-parenting their daughter, as well as gushed over how ‘delighted’, ‘excited’ and ‘besotted’ he is.
Jack, the son of Boyzone singer Ronan Keating, said: ‘Her mother and I have decided to keep her identity private for now and we ask everyone to please respect our privacy at this time.
‘My daughter’s mother and I are not together, however we look forward to co-parenting and giving our little girl the best support system that she needs.’
He added to The Sun: ‘This is an exciting new chapter for me and my family and I am completely besotted already.
‘I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a father and give my daughter the most amazing life.’
This comes after grandad Ronan embraced the new addition to their family, as he was one of the first to congratulate his son on the social media announcement.
