Love Island’s Jack Keating is every inch the doting dad as he takes his daughter for a stroll

Jack Keating was the doting dad all the way as he took his newborn daughter for a walk on Saturday.

The Love Island star and son of singer Ronan Keating, 23, took to his Instagram page to share with his followers an adorable photo of his baby daughter in a stroller as he took her for a walk.

Alongside the sweet photo, he captioned the post with “Walks with my special girl (love heart emoji).

Followers were then quick to compliment Jack on the adorable Instagram snap.

One follower commented, “She’s so cute, congratulations again Jack xx.”

While other followers shared how much his baby girl looks just like him.

One follower commented, “So beautiful and looks just like you.”

The sweet photo comes after Jack announced in an Instagram post last month that he’d welcomed a baby girl — confusing fans because he hadn’t mentioned a child before.

Jack also appeared on the ITV2 show eight months ago, meaning his baby girl was probably conceived before he appeared on the show.

In the sweet photo, Jack was seen in a casual ensemble while holding his newborn.

And his baby daughter looked adorable in his arms as she wore a light gray patterned onesie.

Jack captioned the adorable photo dump with “recently,” and shared the baby snaps along with several other images with his family and friends.

Jack has not been public about a romantic relationship since leaving the Love Island mansion last summer, but the mother turned out to be artist Keely Iqbal.

Ronan and Yvonne, 49 – who divorced in 2015 after 17 years of marriage – declined to speculate, however, sharing sweet messages of support instead.

It’s the first grandchild for father-of-five Ronan, who called his granddaughter a “little cutie.”

The Irish singer shares his eldest child Jack with his ex-wife, Yvonne Connolly, who is also mum to Missy, 22, and Ali, 17, from the couple’s 12-year marriage.

Yvonne wrote on Jack’s post, “I miss her so much already.”

Jack looked every inch the loving father in the snaps as he looked down in admiration at the little one he cradled in his arms.

He captioned the photo: ‘Welcome to the world my little princess’.

His friends and other Love Island stars were quick to congratulate him, as Paige Thorne wrote, “Congratulations honey!!”

Ronan’s second wife and Jack’s stepmother Storm responded with a series of heart emojis under the post.

The Magic Radio Breakfast presenter has been with his wife, Australian fashion designer Storm, 40, since 2010, and the couple have children Cooper, five, and Coco, two, together.

Before moving into the Love Island villa eight months ago, Jack said, “I’ve been single for a long time, probably 4 or 5 years now and I’ve really missed that spark I haven’t gotten in the dating scene like I’ve been on for a long time am dating.

And I just thought why not? Hopefully I’ll connect with someone and see what happens.”

The mother of Jack’s newborn daughter is artist Keely.

Keely works as an artist creating custom designs for athletic shoes and greeting cards and kept her fans updated throughout her pregnancy by sharing several photos of her belly.

She describes herself as ‘mommy’. Artist• Sneakerhead’ on her company’s Instagram profile.

It is believed that Keely and Jack are not together, with Jack insisting earlier this month that he was “still single and ready to mingle.”

However, fans understood at the time that Jack fathered his daughter before he rose to fame on Love Island, as he entered the villa eight months ago.

MailOnline reached out to Jack’s representatives for further comment at the time.

Fans also joined the comments on Jack’s post to share their congratulations, but noted that “math isn’t math.”

One follower even said, “I’m so confused. The math is wrong.”

Another echoed, “I know I’m bad at math, but math isn’t designed for this at all!!!” Love Island has been less than 9 months. I mean, I know accidents happen, but….”

A third added: “So he had a girlfriend 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 needs 9?!”

A fourth charged, “So you went to a show to find love, not thinking about the girl who got you pregnant.”

And a fifth agreed, writing, “Someone carried your baby when you went on Love Island? You are joking.’

While a sixth explained, “Yes, so he must have impregnated the mother in June and went to LI (Casa) in July. Unless he waited until he got out of LI and the baby was born a month early.”

It comes after Jack spoke to The Independent last month, insisting: ‘I’m still single and ready to mingle. I’m on hinge [the dating app], but I don’t take it too seriously. I dive in now and then and I enjoy being single.’
