Ronan’s wife Storm also shared a sweet tribute to the birthday girl.
Writing: “Feels like only yesterday when I met you @ali_keating_ at only 5 years old and with your gorgeous red curls, dimples and that cheeky laugh! You were such a little munchkin. Inseparable from your dad (it used to drive us all mad) and funny as hell. “But dad can we?!” Haha. Honestly one of the cutest kids ever.”
“Can’t believe that today you’re now 18 and a young woman ready to make her mark on the world.”
“So excited for all that’s ahead of you and hoping that life takes you on many wonderful new adventures, while you create a life of your own that you can be proud of. We all love you so much and will be here every step of the way. Happy birthday sweetheart xx”
Happy birthday Ali!
