The 46-year-old has now publicly broken his silence on becoming a grandad.
During an episode of The One Show, Ronan’s co-host Jermaine Jenas said: “Well said grandad.”
The singer replied: “Yes I am. My son had a gorgeous baby.”
Jermaine continued: “You prefer to be called something else don’t you?” before Ronan admitted: “Pops”.
Following his announcement that he had welcomed his first child, Jack confirmed that he and the baby’s mother are not together, but that they were looking forward to co-parenting their baby girl.
In an interview with The UK Sun, the Love Island star revealed: “My daughter’s mother and I are not together however, we look forward to co-parenting together and giving our little girl the best support system that she needs.”
“This is an exciting new chapter for me and my family and I am completely besotted already. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a father and give my daughter the most amazing life.”
