The mother of Jack Keating’s daughter has shared an adorable photo of her cradling their baby girl.
The 23-year-old Love Island star, who appeared on the dating show eight months ago, recently surprised fans with the news he had welcomed a new arrival into the world earlier this month.
Now new mum Keely Iqbal, who works as an artist designing custom trainers, has posed with their little girl on the sofa for a sweet snap.
She captioned the photo: ‘My favourite person’.
Her post comes after Jack revealed the news with his own picture on Instagram as he delicately held his newborn alongside the caption: ‘Welcome to the world my little [princess emoji].’
While he didn’t confirm the identity of his baby’s mother at the time, some comments tagging Keely offered their congratulations to her as well.

‘She is your double through and through. Congratulations both,’ one person wrote while mentioning both Jack and Keely. ‘It’s about time. At least it’s out now.’
Another follower added: ‘Congrats to you and @keelyiqbal soo proud of you!’
Throughout her pregnancy, Keely – who describes herself as ‘Mummy. Artist.Sneakerhead’ on her business Instagram page – has also shared various photos of her growing bump.

First announcing she was going to have a baby in October, Keely and Jack are not believed to be together after he said earlier this month he was ‘single and ready to mingle’.
The birth of Jack’s daughter makes his famous dad Ronan Keating a grandfather at the age of 46, alongside his first wife Yvonne Connolly, who has become a grandmother at 49.
Ronan shares Jack with his ex Yvonne, who he was married to from 1998 to 2015 and with whom he also shares daughters Missy, 22, and Ali, 18.

He remarried in 2015 to Storm Uechritz and have since welcomed son Cooper, five, and daughter Coco, two.
Speaking about the happy news on The One Show, Ronan admitted he’s not happy being called a ‘grandad’ after Jermaine Jenas quipped: ‘Well said, grandad,’ Ronan quickly shut him down with an ‘Oi!’
‘You’re a grandad now!’ Jermaine explained, while the Boyzone star replied: ‘I am! My son had a gorgeous baby, and Storm and I are grandparents.’

However, he clarified he ‘prefers’ to be called ‘Pops’, saying: ‘We’ll go with that.’
Reality star Jack was one of Casa Amor 2022’s bombshells but went home shortly after entering the villa in July as none of the OG islanders chose to couple up with him.
