Ronan Keating has said he is “bursting with love” as he welcomed his first child with wife Storm.

The former Boyzone singer, who is already father to Jack, 18, Missy, 16, and Ali, 11, from his marriage to Yvonne Connolly, had previously spoken about his desire to expand his family.

He announced the news on Instagram by sharing a photo of Storm cradling their new son and adding the caption: “Incredibly excited to announce the arrival.

“We’re all bursting with love for the newest little member of our family!

“Feeling very blessed to be daddy to this little man and the luckiest man in the world to be husband to such a strong, loving and warm-hearted woman and add to my beautiful family.”

The couple announced they were expecting their first child together last December and Keating, 40, said his children, who were best man and bridesmaids at the couple’s wedding in August 2015, could not wait to meet their new sibling.
