Ronan Keating has sparked concern among fans after unveiling his new tattoo tribute to his wife Storm, as he revealed she had ‘a challenge ahead’.
The Boyzone star, 47, has been married to the TV producer, 42, since 2015 after they met on The X Factor Australia in 2010.
The couple then welcomed son Cooper Archer, seven, and four-year-old daughter Coco Knox, while Ronan also shares Jack, 25, Missy, 23, and Ali, 18, with his ex-wife Yvonne Connolly.
He took to his Instagram on Tuesday to share a photo of his new ink, which showed a black and white drawing of a female warrior holding a sword on the back of his arm.
Ronan captioned the photo that the tattoo was for Storm, as he praised her “strength” and stated that he would be by her side.

Storm revealed on her own Instagram on Bank Holiday Monday that she had taken the day off so she could spend some time with her two little ones.
She shared a sweet photo of her with Cooper and Coco enjoying an ice cream together, captioning it: “One of those days where you spontaneously decide not to rush back to the office and instead take the afternoon off so you can you can make a detour to the playground ‘.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Ronan and Storm Keating for comment.
Storm’s care comes after she was diagnosed with a rare condition in 2021 that left her temporarily paralyzed from the waist down.
She was diagnosed with Cauda Equina Syndrome, which causes sudden compression of the nerves in the lower back and can lead to loss of sensation, incontinence and paralysis if not treated immediately.
The Australian star underwent emergency spinal surgery after waking up one morning to find parts of her body were ‘completely numb’.
Speaking on Loose Women in December 2021, Storm said: ‘It was all gone. My legs, my intestines, my bladder, everything.’
She revealed that because coronavirus restrictions prevented Ronan from visiting her in hospital, Ronan was left outside ‘crying in the car’ during the terrifying ordeal.

She recalled: “Because of COVID he couldn’t get into the hospital, so all he got was me on WhatsApp, or me on the phone talking to the surgeon.
“He was sitting in the parking lot, crying in the car outside the hospital, waiting to hear how it would go.”
Ronan admitted that hearing his wife talk about the incident “brought back the same feeling” he experienced at the time.
The Life Is a Rollercoaster hitmaker recalled how he was “crying his eyes out” because he “didn’t know” what his wife was going through in hospital, adding that it was the first time he had ever called an ambulance.
After what Storm described as ‘the most terrifying week’ of her life, she underwent a full year of rehabilitation and is now able to walk again following the successful operation.
