His dad might be world-famous crooner Ronan Keating, but little Cooper Keating was more interested in hitting the playground on a trip to Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter last week.

Just a few hours before the “When You Say Nothing at All” singer, 42, and his Boyzone bandmates wowed the crowd at Spark Arena as part of their farewell tour, the proud dad cleared the decks for some family time with his youngest child and Australian-born wife Storm, 37.

The loved-up couple, who married in a romantic 2015 seaside ceremony in Scotland, couldn’t help but share a giggle as Cooper made the most of the autumn sunshine, exploring the playground

and splashing around in the paddling pool.

The tot, who turns two later this month, is Ronan’s fourth child – he also shares Jack, 20, Missy, 18, and Ali, 13, with ex-wife Yvonne Connolly – but when the Irish heartthrob first met fashion designer Storm (birth name: Sharon Uechtritz), he told her didn’t want any more children.

“I knew in my heart that I could live the rest of my life without kids, but I couldn’t live without him,” Storm said last year. “But thank God he changed his mind.”

It looks like they’re lovin’ each day as if it’s the last!

The pop star seems comfortable living the Dadzone life.

It seems all the fun stuff is over there! Even when his wee son “says nothing at all”, Dad gets the point.

Could Ronan’s son be any cuter?! He’s the boss in his trucker cap and singlet.
