Ronan Keating was every inch a proud father as his daughter Missy turned 24 this week.
Taking to Instagram, the former Boyzone frontman delighted his 579k followers with several unseen snaps with his lookalike daughter, who is already following in her father’s famous footsteps.
In 2022, Missy dazzled viewers on Dancing with the Stars, making it through to week seven of the RTÉ competition, which is dubbed Ireland’s equivalent of Strictly Come Dancing, and has expressed her desire to become an actress.
“Oh my eldest baby girl,” Ronan began in the caption. “Where have the 24 years gone? Happiest of birthdays sweetheart. Storm and I are so proud of the woman you are and all that you want to be.”
Reflecting on being away from his daughter on her birthday, proud dad Ronan added: “Missing you a lot and tough to not be with you right now. But you are where you need to be doing what you were born to do. Love you always. Quiet on set.”
It is believed that Missy is currently living in Australia, after spending nine months there in 2022 before travelling the world.
Giving an insight into their close relationship, Ronan’s daughter responded: “Awww thank you Dad. All these pics are so special, love the throwbacks! We’ll raise glass soon. Love & miss you so much.”
Following the 17-month suspended sentencing of Dean Harte, the man involved in the collision, Ronan said that it was a “devastating example of just how broken our justice system is”.
