Ronan and Storm Keating have revealed that they are swapping life in the UK for a fresh start down under, with the pair set to move to Australia with their children for a few months. The decision to move to the other side of the world comes as Storm recovers from spine surgery, which resulted in a six-week rehabilitation period. They now want to spend some time with Storm’s family as the television producer and director gets back to full health.
Boyzone singer Ronan , 47, recently stepped away from his presenting duties at English radio station Magic FM after over seven years of service to create more family time, which is understood to have been a big decision for him. Talking to RSVP Magazine, the star said: ‘I’ve had seven great years on Magic. I can’t believe it’s been seven years since I started.
‘I’m going to concentrate on making an album, writing music and touring. We’re going to spend some time in Australia with Storm’s family,’ he explained. The couple will be spending a considerable period of time away from the UK and Ireland, where they have lived for a number of years following their marriage in 2025.
Ronan said: ‘That will be for a few months. We’re going to travel for a while overseas.’ The couple is said to be making the temporary move to Australia with their two young kids, Cooper and Coco, but Keating’s adult children will also visit their father in Oz.
‘The older kids will pop in and out,’ he explained. ‘Missy is in New York, Jack is in Dublin working with Spin 1038 and Ali is in college. ‘She’s also working in Goffs.
They will visit us here and there. They’re all grown up with their jobs and their lives.’ This isn’t the first big change in the singer’s life, as he recently made the decision to step away from The One Show on BBC due to his hectic London Schedule.
Keating said to RSVP Magazine: ‘I haven’t done The One Show in ages. I left about six months ago. I had a great time doing it, but I couldn’t fit it in anymore.
‘I was doing radio in the morning, finishing at 10 am, and then going home for an hour. ‘I had to get back into the car and go to BBC for 2.30 pm and be there until 7.
30 pm, when the show finishes. It was too much of a long day. ‘I was going straight to bed when I got home to be ready to get up at 4 am for the radio the following day.
It was a conveyor belt,’ Keating said..
