Jack Keating’s daughter’s name has finally been revealed in never-before-seen snaps of the star at his daughter’s birth.
The former Love Island star surprised fans when he announced he had become a father nine weeks ago to a baby girl with artist Keely Iqbal. The pair are not together and are happily co-parenting.
During an Instagram Q&A over the weekend, followers decided to ask what their little girl’s name is, with one asking, “Does baby girl have a last name, daddy’s, or is it double barrel?”

Keely decided to reveal Maya’s full name – and who she is named after.
“Her name is Maya Ann Keating.
“Ann was my mum’s name. She watches Maya from heaven.”
Keely also showed off some never-before-seen pictures of Jack and Keely in the delivery room when Maya was born.
She also opened up about what it’s like being a first time mum.
Keely said: “Being a 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.
He said in the past that while they are not in a relationship, he is “looking forward to co-parenting.”
“I am delighted to announce the birth of my little girl,” Jack told The Sun at the time, asking that the public afford them some privacy, particularly with their choice not to disclose the name of their new baby 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,” he said in the interview.
