Ronan Keating has shared his pride over daughter Missy Keating in a tribute marking her 21st birthday yesterday.
The singer-songwriter, 44, is a father-of-five, with his oldest daughter Marie, now 21 - often referred to as Missy, whom he shares with ex-wife Yvonne Connolly, 48.
The Boyzone member shared a black and white photo of himself and Missy on his Instagram yesterday to mark her birthday, with them seen laughing together in the snap.
He took the opportunity to praise his eldest daughter in the caption of the post, which has received more than 12,000 likes on the social media platform since it was uploaded.
"Happy Birthday to my Missy Moo. This picture says it all. We laugh Moo all the time. My family are my world, my kids are me. I am so bloody proud of you sweetheart," he wrote.
He continued in the caption: "You walk into a room and the place lights up. You are my sunshine. I cannot believe you are 21. The years have flown but you have blossomed into everything I could ever want in a daughter and more."
Ronan said that he and wife Storm Keating, 40, - who he has been married to since 2015 - love her with "all [their] hearts."
