Inside Ronan Keating’s £5million ‘dream home’ with swimming pool and tennis court after 5 year renovation

RONAN Keating and his wife Storm live in a sensational £5million mansion that sits just outside of London.

The couple first purchased the home back in 2016 but made the decision to knock it down and start again after being told that the plumbing and electrical would need replacing, and that the structure was shoddy.

The new structure went down in 2019 and they have been working on it since then – making it into a zero carbon home with beautiful interiors.

Ronan and Storm had been living in another property while the project was ongoing, but found themselves at loggerheads with their cleaner who claimed they refused to pay a £500 bill.

Boyzone star Ronan, 47, and his wife Storm regularly post interior updates with their fans of their countryside mansion, from the huge swimming pool and entertaining area to their chic marble island bar that runs through the centre of the kitchen.

The couple decided to build from scratch, designing an inspirational eco home that could be “an example of quality sustainable products and green living”.

In 2021, Storm said it has taken years to plan their completely zero carbon home which harvests its own rainwater and even waste.

And the couple certainly haven’t compromised on luxury – and installed a swimming pool and tennis court.

The home stands on a huge plot of land, with incredible views of the countryside.

Other impressive features include a huge living room with a wood-panelled fireplace and stone coffee table.

They also have a very modern kitchen with a large marble table, gold drop down lights and huge glass windows that look out over the garden.

In one room, the musician has placed a Yamaha piano and it looks out onto the outdoor seating area, where fans can spot a massive L-shaped black sofa.

In 2023, Ronan, requested permission to build a 32 x 22-foot structure for his collection of supercars on the four-acre property in Hertfordshire.

They include a £200,000 McLaren 650S, a £100,000 Mercedes G-Wagen, and a Land Rover Defender.

The former Boyzone singer claimed his family struggled to enter their home without getting drenched in the winter.

But in order to avoid obstructing expansive views of the nearby countryside, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, he applied to construct a 12ft tall open-sided canopy.

Despite their sensational £5million home, Ronan last year revealed that he and his wife and kids would be temporarily moving to Australia.

The former Boyzone star made the “very difficult decision” to quit his hit radio show, Magic Radio Breakfast Show, after seven years.

Ronan told how he’d had an “incredible” response from his breakfast show listeners, yet was eager to get back to “really important” moments of family time which he’d “missed”.

The singer decided to go Down Under to spend quality time with his wife Storm and their kids Cooper and Coco.

Ronan said he was also taking the time to write new music while in Australia.

He told RSVP Magazine: ‘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.

“That will be for a few months. We’re going travelling for a while overseas.”

Ronan’s children, from his first marriage to his ex-wife Yvonne Connolly, Missy, Love Island star Jack and Ali also planned to visit them.

Returning home to the UK over Christmas, Ronan, who is evidently fond of a lavish lifestyle, hired a private jet from K9 Jets in order for his beloved dog and cats to travel from one side of the world to the other.

Ronan shared images of their animals on board alongside Australian wife Storm, where they were pampered with a bed and couches for lots of rest on the long-haul trip.

Mum reveals genius trick that makes taking your baby swimming less stressful & avoids those gross changing tables too

THERE are arguably few things more stressful than taking a baby swimming.

From getting them dressed, to ensuring their swimming nappies are on correctly, to THOSE gross changing tables – it’s all in all a pretty unenjoyable experience.

So it’s no wonder a mum has been praised for sharing a genius hack that’s been a “game changer” when taking her daughter swimming.

Katie took to TikTok to share a video of herself demonstrating the hack – holding her little girl as she headed into the sports centre, wheeling a little suitcase.

She then wheeled the case down to the changing room, before unzipping it, putting it on the floor and lining it with towels.

Katie was then able to lay her daughter down on the towels to get her ready for her dip, with the baby looking adorably excited about the upcoming swim.

“Thank me later for the best swimming hack for babies,” Katie wrote over the top of the video.

“This was a game changer for us!”

And it seems the trick also made the experience more enjoyable for her daughter, as Katie added in the caption that she’s a little “water baby”.

People quickly took to the comments section to praise Katie for sharing the hack, with one writing: “Thank you for this.

“I took my 4 month old and had to wait because people were using the family changing rooms with out babies and I had nowhere to put him.”

“Due twins and panicked about this! Thank you!!” another added.

“Genius!” a third commented.

“Haha what a hack! Definitely be using this!” someone else wrote.

“You are a genius,” another gushed.

While others shared their own nifty tricks for taking babies swimming.

“I use a Bumbo for my kids at swimming especially when they become more mobile – stops them escaping lol,” one wrote.

“Bathrobe and x2 towels plus a folding changing mat,” another said.
