KISSING the head of his four-month-old daughter, Ronan Keating is clearly a doting dad. He became a father for the fifth time in March when wife Storm gave birth to Coco. But the former Boyzone singer insists they will not be expanding their brood further - and is grateful that lockdown has given him more quality time with his kids. In an exclusive chat, the 43-year-old singer said: “No more babies. Both Storm and I have decided that’s it, done. We are very happy.” Ronan is dad to Jack, 21, Missy, 19 and Ali, 14, with his ex-wife Yvonne Connolly, and Cooper, three, and Coco with Australian model and TV producer Storm Keating who he married at a Scottish country estate in August 2015. On a video call from his London home, Ronan describes himself as a “hands-on, no nannies” dad as he chats with his adorable baby girl on his knee. He has been enjoying an extended paternity leave because of the lockdown. He says: “The plan was to take a three-week holiday, but it has turned into four months. “It’s been amazing to be there for every single moment, from waking up in the morning, looking at her, to every bath and bedtime. “It’s been a very special experience to witness her progress every single day.” Ronan - whose new solo album Twenty Twenty was No2 in the charts last week - says his three older kids don’t consider him to be an embarrassing dad.

I remember standing at the airport when he was off to Australia for a year when he was 18 and just being devastated. “I was heartbroken, with tears streaming down my face, but you have to let them go. “I have a very good relationship with all of them. They are very cool kids and very grounded. “I am blessed and lucky to have them. “I have an amazing family. I was one of five and it’s incredible to think I now have five kids myself.” Ronan says he has always tried to teach his children right from wrong and show them they are loved unconditionally. He says: “You can’t worry. The thing is to take each day as it comes and raise them properly to be good human beings, to be kind, honest and decent and be good to fellow humans. That is all you can do as a parent - show them love, as when kids are loved they get through stuff. “It’s when they don’t feel loved that they take different roads and different avenues.” Ronan, Storm and their children have just returned from a family holiday in France. He says: “It was lovely. We drove and went through the Channel Tunnel and it was an easy, six-and-a-half hours door to door. “Storm has always made it possible for us to be ab
