He recently gushed that it was 'very, very special' to see his three children from his first marriage interacting with their newborn half-brother Cooper.

And Ronan Keating showed off that 'amazing bond' once again, as he brought the family together during a festive singalong for sick children at Crumlin Hospital in Dublin on Thursday.

The Boyzone singer, 40, and his glamorous wife Storm, 36, looked every inch the proud parents as they doted over their eight-month-old son Cooper, alongside Ronan's older kids Jack, 18, Missy, 16 and Ali, 11.

The Irish singer appeared to be in great spirits as he cradled Cooper - who was born in April - in his arms and lifted him up.

Ronan later showed off his vocals as he took the microphone and belted out some of his hits at the hospital while his brood looked on proudly.

Storm, meanwhile, tapped into her festive side as she rocked a navy sweater with cheery sparkles layered over a silver poloneck.

Styling her golden tresses in a sleek middle-parting, the Australian beauty framed her pretty features with minimal make-up and boasted a glowing tan.

While Cooper is Ronan's first child with Storm, his three older children are from his first marriage to Yvonne Connolly.

The singer and Yvonne split in 2010 after 12 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalised in March 2015 - five months before he tied the knot with Storm.

Storm and Ronan married two years ago in a spectacular wedding in Scotland with Ed Sheeran entertaining guests at the reception.

Their festive outing comes just days after their sweet photoshoot for Hello! magazine, with adorable Cooper.

In an accompanying interview, Ronan revealed his joy in his close-knit family, telling the publication: 'All four of my kids are amazing and it's very, very special to see the bond between them all.'

The former Boyzone singer also described his amazement with Cooper's wonderful sleeping habits: 'I can't believe I have a baby who sleeps so well.'

Despite his peace at night with his youngest son, the recording artist has set his alarm at 4.30am for his radio breakfast show on Magic, along with Harriet Scott: 'I'm getting up in the middle of the night anyway!'

Despite meeting in Australia, Ronan and Storm are now based in the UK.

Storm was recently forced to hit back at a cruel troll on social media after the online hater made a comment about Cooper on Instagram.

The Australian beauty shared an adorable snap of her tot preparing for take-off to Norway with her on the photo-sharing platform when he was targeted by the troll.

Captioning the charming photo, she wrote: 'Buckling up for another flight', alongside a number of hashtags including '#norwaybound' and '#littleworldtraveller'.

While many wished them a safe flight, one Instagram followers commented under the photo: 'Poor b**ger'.

Taken aback by the remark, Storm wrote a lengthy response to the mean-spirited fan, defending her little boy and referring to herself as a 'fantastic mummy' while also adding that they could 'easily' employ help but don't.

She shared: 'We think lucky b***er! We could easily employ nannies or staff to look after our little man while mummy & daddy have to work, but despite it taking more effort and organisation, we choose to take him almost everywhere with us.

'We stick together as a family as much as possible (which is a very privileged position to be in – not all families have that luxury!)

She continued: 'Of course it’s not the easy option for @rokeating and I, but we’ll do whatever it takes for our little guy – we don’t want to miss a thing and we don’t want him to miss either of us also.

'Not if we can help it. For Cooper to have two parents who are so hands on despite their crazy lifestyle and work schedules is a blessing and it shows in Cooper…'

The TV producer added: 'He is the happiest little baba who very rarely even cries (!) and who has been sleeping through the night since he was 7 weeks old (12hrs a night since he was 4.5 months old!).'

Happy family: While the tot is Storm's first child, Ronan already has three children - Jack, 18, Missy, 16 and Ali, 11, from his first marriage to Yvette
