And while the son of Ronan Keating<\/a> is currently in Love Island: All Stars this season, Birmingham-born Keely admitted that everyone was missing him ‘dearly’ back home.<\/p>\n

She said on social media: ‘Life without daddy rn (sic) and everyone is missing him dearly.’<\/p>\n

But Keely said their daughter has been ‘blowing up’ Jack’s phone with voice notes while he is away in the villa.<\/p>\n

‘Lucky for Jack, Maya is bowing up his phone with a load of voice notes so he has that to come back to.’<\/p>\n

In June last year, Jack <\/a>told of his shock when he found out he was going to become a dad back in 2022.<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s been the craziest two years ever, such a learning curve. I\u2019ve always wanted to be a dad though. Since my dad and Storm welcomed my siblings Cooper and Coco, watching them grow up, I really looked forward to experiencing that for myself,’ he told VIP magazine at the time.<\/p>\n

‘I wasn\u2019t expected to be the first parent in the family, it was definitely a shock for everyone, but yeah, she\u2019s the first grandchild. My mam loves being a granny, she took to it so well,’ he added at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack Keating’s daughter Maya has been ‘blowing up’ her dad’s phone while he is on Love Island: All…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":264087,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,61,60,282],"class_list":["post-264086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
