Former Love Island star, Jack Keating, has revealed the name of his newborn – whom he shares with artist, Keely Iqbal.

The pair confirmed that they are not in a relationship but are happily co-parenting their little girl.

Keating surprised fans when he revealed the birth of his first daughter just nine weeks ago, but looks to be taking to fatherhood very naturally.

Keely took to Instagram over the weekend to answers fan questions, one of which asked: “Does baby girl have a last name, daddy’s or is it double barrel?”

She answered, revealing: “Her name is Maya Ann Keating.”

Keely then explained where the beautiful name stemmed from, and said: “Ann was my mum’s name… She watches Maya from heaven.”

The artist also shared some new photos with fans, of herself and Jack in the delivery room when Maya was born.

She went on to speak about her experience as a new mum and said: “Being mummy can be tiring but that’s okay because our 3am chats are my favourite. This is by far the best job in the world.”

Speaking at the time of Maya’s birth, Jack told The Sun: “I am delighted to announce the birth of my little girl.

“My daughter’s mother and I are not together, however we look forward to co-parenting and giving our little girl the best support system that she needs.”
