Ronan and Yvonne split in 2015 and the singer then had two children, Cooper and Coco, with current wife Storm.
When asked why he was on the ITV show, Jack explained: “I’ve been single for a long time, probably 4 or 5 years.
“I’ve really missed that spark that I haven’t gotten in the dating scene, like I’ve been dating for a long time. I just thought why not?”
Jack is the second child of a celebrity signed to the show after the former England and Real Madrid striker Michael Owen’s 19-year-old daughter Gemma.
What did Ronan Keating say about Jack on Love Island?
Jack’s father Roman, 45, expressed his support for his young son on the show in a two-word social media post.
On Instagram, the Irish singer reposted his son’s Love Island announcement, writing, “Let’s go.”
Jack spoke of his father before going to the villa and said: “He will definitely look when I get there.
“He buzzes for me. Me and my father are very close, we are best friends.”
He added: “I am very competitive, for sure. I play rugby at home in Dublin and in London, so I definitely have that competitive advantage.
“Maybe I should take a few apart. It won’t be the most ideal, but I have to do what’s best for me.”
Does Jack have social media?
Jack is on Instagram, where she has over 9,000 followers as of July 2, 2022.

When does Casa Amor start on ITV2?
Fans had feared that the Casa Amor segment of the reality series would be scrapped, after the show moved out of the old villa and found a new location for the show.
But this year it’s back, and it promises to be a drama as always.
An insider of the show said: “Just when the islanders begin to feel comfortable in their couples, they will be in for a real shock when they are torn apart.
“This year’s Casa Amor promises to be the most explosive yet thanks to some seriously fiery characters, who have already shown that their heads can be turned.”
The infamous villa was introduced at the end of the show’s Friday, July 1, 2022 episode.
Since there are only catch-up shows on Saturdays, the first full episode of Casa Amor will be on July 3, 2022.
