In November last year, Ronan Keating announced he is set to become a father for the fifth time.

And now the Boyzone singer - who has Jack, 20, Missy, 18, and Ali, 14, from his first marriage to Yvonne Connolly and two-year-old Cooper with his wife Storm - has revealed the couple are expecting a little girl.

Speaking to OK! magazine, Ronan said: "Yes, we’re having a baby girl! It’s super exciting. We are very lucky and I am so happy for Storm."

Storm added: "I've always wanted at least one of each sex so I’m feeling very blessed. That's five kids in total now, so that's enough, we're going to have to get Ro to have the snip."

However, the 42-year-old singer has quipped he's worried about raising another girl.

"People say that girls can be trickier. With Cooper being such a dream we're scared we can't get that lucky twice," he added.

The couple announced the exciting news they were to be parents again in November last year during a holiday in Amsterdam.

Taking to Instagram to share a sweet picture of Cooper kissing her growing bump, Ronan captioned the post: "Another little Keating on the way."

The 38-year-old beauty previously admitted she had had a "really difficult" conversation with the 42-year-old star in the early days of their relationship because she wanted her own children while the 'Life Is a Roller Coaster' hitmaker was unsure if he wanted any more kids.

She said: "He wasn't sure if he wanted to have more children and that was really difficult for me because I always pictured having kids of my own and I come from a really large family.

"I went away and thought about it and I had to be really honest with myself. I spoke to my mum about it. There were tears.

"I knew in my heart that I could live the rest of my life without kids but I couldn't live without [Ronan]."

We can't wait to see the little one!
