Jack Keating is a doting dad to baby Maya.
Although she’s not really a baby anymore when she runs around at the VIP Magazine photoshoot for the June issue.
We sat down with Jack who tells us that life has “changed in every single way” since becoming a father.
“It’s been the craziest two years ever, such a learning curve. I’ve always wanted to be a dad though. Since my dad and Storm welcomed my siblings Cooper and Coco, watching them grow up, I really looked forward to experiencing that for myself,” he tells us.
He adds: “She’s been the biggest blessing of my life. Maya’s amazing.”
Maya is the first grandchild so Jack admits she’s definitely spoilt!
“I wasn’t expected to be the first parent in the family, it was definitely a shock for everyone, but yeah, she’s the first grandchild. My mam loves being a granny, she took to it so well,” he admits with that patent cheeky grin.
“My dad doesn’t love being called granddad too much, he says it makes him feel a little bit older than he’d like, but he loves it too.”
Of course, Maya lives with her mother in the UK primarily with Jack admitting that he sees her “only every two or three weeks”. And life has definitely changed a lot now he’s a father.
“As a 26-year-old, I’ve had to re-evaluate what’s been going on in my life. You can’t go out partying all the time, booking holidays, going shopping for yourself. You’re not the most important person in your life anymore. You’ve to set your whole life up to look after someone else and be responsible for them,” he admits.
