She made her name as one of Ireland’s top models and now Yvonne Connolly’s niece Jill is following in the blonde’s footsteps.
Yvonne has revealed that brunette Jill, who accompanied Yvonne’s daughter Missy Keating to the Suicide Squad premiere in Dublin earlier this week, has signed up to Assets models.
Posting a picture of the pair on Instagram, Yvonne wrote: “Missy and my niece @jillconnolly_ at the premiere of #suicidesquad .Give Jill a follow ….She’s just signed up to @assetsmodels . Best of luck Jill !!!!! #model #fashion #agency.”

And no doubt Jill will be able to turn to her aunt for advice as Yvonne has managed to navigate the tricky world of Irish modelling and celebrity for over 20 years.
Speaking previously about Yvonne, Assets boss Derek Daniels told the Irish Independent: “She was literally running from job to job. Yvonne Connolly was, without a shadow of a doubt, the busiest commercial model of her time.

“Yvonne Connolly had the ability to look different in every job, so casting directors were never worried about booking her even if she was in other ads.
“That just didn’t happen with other girls, and the fact that she could cross over and do shows, press calls and shoots was also unusual.”
