Ronan Keating led tributes to his daughter Missy on her 23rd birthday over the weekend.
The birthday girl, whose real name is Marie in honour of the Boyzone star’s late mum, marked the occasion in New York City on Sunday.
Her dad and stepmum Storm joined her in the Big Apple for some celebrations after spending some time together for Valentine’s Day.
Sharing a photo of Missy and Storm hugging after their few days together, Ronan took to Instagram to praise his first-born daughter, whom he shares with Yvonne Connolly.
“Always hard to say goodbye. I’m not crying, you’re crying. Well Most importantly Happy Birthday my brilliant daughter. Love you so much moo. You are such a bloody brave strong woman.
“Storm and I loved seeing you stand on your own two feet In the city that never sleeps. Storm, Jack, Ali, Coops, Coco, and I are all so proud of you. Enjoy your Day. Love you always, Dad”.
An emotional Missy responded: “Love you so much thank you dad. Best couple days with you both. Missing you already.”
Storm also shared a sweet birthday message for Missy, posting a carousel of snaps including one photo of Missy blowing out the candles on an extravagant cake that read ‘we love you Moo’.
Memories from weddings, holidays, and quality time with Missy’s youngest siblings Cooper and Coco also made the cut.
“Happiest of birthdays to this insanely awesome young woman who we all love so much @missyykeating,” the Australian TV producer penned.
“Smart, kind, compassionate, hardworking and full of joy and laughter: We all adore you Moo! So special that we could mark your special day with you in NYC but missing you so much already. Keep living and chasing that dream sweetheart, we are so proud of you”.
Missy’s brother and former Love Islander Jack also made sure to wish his little sister a happy birthday online, posting a photo of the pair partying with sunglasses on while throwing up peace signs.
“Happy birthday sis, missing you like crazy today. Love ya!” the 24-year-old wrote.
And their model mum Yvonne also gave her daughter a birthday shoutout after spending a few days together in the States, where Yvonne’s partner John Conroy is busying working on a production in New York.
“Happy birthday to this vivacious world traveller!” she captioned her Instagram tribute.
“Missy, I’m so proud of you and your ability to independently make new beginnings in different cities and countries. New jobs, new homes, new friends, new memories, always following your heart and chasing your dreams. You are one of a kind and I love you.”
Missy replied: “Thank you mom, our couple (of) days in NY together were so fantastic. Loved spending time with you. Thank you for everything. Missing you today, love you always.”
