Musician Ronan Keating and wife Storm have welcomed a baby girl!

Taking to his Instagram page on Sunday evening (AEDT), the former Boyzone singer Ronan shared the happy news alongside a gorgeous new picture of the couple’s new addition.

“Hello world 👶 Spreading some good cheer at this time with the announcement of the safe delivery of our little girl Coco Knox Keating. Calmly arrived on 27/3/20,” he wrote.

The new dad-of-two added: “Mama & Baba are rocking #HappyTimes #KeatingClan #BabyKeating.”

The couple, who welcomed a son, Cooper, in 2017, took to Instagram in November last year to announce the pending arrival of baby number two.

“Another little Keating on the way,” Storm, 38, captioned the image of Cooper kissing her growing belly.

The excited parents later revealed the gender of their bub to OK! In the UK with a special digital cover.

“Yes, we’re having a baby girl! It’s super exciting. We are very lucky and I am so happy for Storm,” Ronan, 43, told the publication.

Storm added: “I’ve always wanted at least one of each sex so I’m feeling very blessed.

The Australian-born TV presenter turned ambassador went on to joke: “That’s five kids in total now, so that’s enough, we’re going to have to get Ro to have the snip.”

The Boyzone musician and actor also shares three children, Jack, 21, Missy, 19, and Ali, 15, with his first wife, Yvonne, 46.

Ronan and Storm first met on the set of X Factor Australia where the musician was a judge and his wife was a producer.

“We started off as friends, we worked on set together so it would be light-hearted banter,” Storm told RSVP magazine.

“We got on like a house on fire, there was a chemistry that just grew.”

While Ronan told The Sunday Independent: “She is an incredible person. She is so passionate and helps me in so many different ways. She’s a great sounding-board for me.”

The loved-up couple went on to wed in 2015 at Archerfield House in Scotland among their family and friends, including some very A-list celebs.

Singers Ed Sheeran and Brian McFadden were in attendance as well as Ronan’s former Boyzone band members.

Fellow X-Factor judge Dannii Minogue also attended the nuptials and Storm’s parents flew all the way from Australia for the special occasion.
