Love Island star Jack Keating’s baby announcement has left people slightly confused considering he was in the villa less than nine months ago.
On Thursday, the reality TV star, who is the son of singer Ronan Keating, shared that he was a first-time dad.
One of Casa Amor 2022’s bombshells, Jack, 23, went home shortly after entering the villa in July after none of the original islanders chose to couple up with him.
Sharing a black-and-white photo cradling his newborn this week, he wrote: ‘Welcome to the world my little [princess emoji].’
He didn’t confirm the identity of his baby’s mother.
While his post had plenty of supportive comments, including from former Islanders Paige Thorne, Luca Bish and Danica Taylor, there were also several questioning when his daughter could have been conceived since Jack was only in the villa eight months ago.

‘I know I’m bad at maths, but the math ain’t mathing on this at all!!! Love Island isn’t even 9 months ago yet. I mean I know accidents happen but….,’ one person wrote.
‘I’m so confused. The maths isn’t adding up,’ another added.
Earlier this month Jack confirmed he was single and said he was ‘ready to mingle’.
‘I’m on Hinge, but I don’t use it too seriously. I dip in every once in a while and I’m enjoying being single,’ he told The Independent.
He added: ‘People think my account is fake. I’m verified, but they still believe I’m a catfish who’s stolen someone else’s photos. I’m like: “Trust me – I’m the real deal”.’
Jack also revealed he had also signed up to appear on Dinner Dates, with the episode due to hit screens sometime this month.

‘Filming took a couple of weeks and I met some nice girls and ate some nice food, so it was a full experience,’ he said.
This is the first grandchild for father-of-five Ronan, 46, who called his granddaughter a ‘little cutie’.
His second wife and Jack’s step mother Storm replied with a series of heart emojis under the post.
