Congratulations are in order for Irish singer and former X Factor judge Ronan Keating and his Australian wife Storm, who have welcomed the newest member to their family.

Sharing the news on Instagram, the former Boyzone star said he was “incredibly excited” about the new addition, a beautiful baby boy.

“We’re all bursting with love for the newest little member of our family!” he wrote, alongside an image of Storm snuggling the newborn.

The couple – who married in 2015 five years after they met and became friends – announced they were expecting in early December last year.

“Words cannot describe how overwhelmed with happiness we are. We feel so blessed to be adding another little Keating to the family and this news is like all of our Christmas wishes coming true,” she wrote at the time.

“This Christmas we’ll just be asking Santa to keep our baby safe and to spread some extra happiness and joy to you and all your families also.”
