Amazing travels of Cooper Keating aged 1 2

He can’t walk or talk, but Ronan and Storm’s son is already a jetsetter

- By Niamh Walsh

AT six months the average tot would probably have experience­d their first car journey strapped safely into their baby seat. Or a bus trip to visit the grandparen­ts.

But Cooper Keating – who turned the ripe young age of half-a-year recently – has been enjoying a highflying lifestyle, which he is no doubt bound to come accustomed to. Cooper is the young son of singer Ronan Keating and his wife Storm. Since his birth he has made regular appearance­s on their social media pages. Storm marked her infant’s six month milestone with a picture of Cooper stretched out on a sprawling bed.

Despite not being able to walk or talk, Cooper has been jetsetting around the globe and his teeny weeny feet have touched down on two continents. He has holidayed in no fewer than four countries and even enjoyed his first walk on a prestigiou­s golf course. Cooper got his first stamp on his passport

Flew to Corfu for his first big summer adventure

when he was just six weeks old when he flew from the UK to Ireland for Father’s Day. He bunked up in the exclusive K Club in Kildare for the weekend with the rest of his family. After returning to their family home, near London, he was spotted at two championsh­ip golf clubs – The Grove Manor and The Celtic Manor.

In July, he packed his best baby grows for a five-star city break to Amsterdam where, snuggled safely in his baby hammock, he enjoyed strolls through the bustling city.

Cooper then retired to his home for a few weeks where once again an occasional spot of golfing was par for the course. He was pictured napping on duty at Wentworth in Surrey, while Ronan indulged his passion for the sport.

Then it was off to Corfu on July 31 for his first big summer adventure. His brother and sisters – Jack, Missy and Ali – also flew out for the two-week sunshine getaway.

Afterwards, Storm’s parents flew in from Australia to meet their grandson. On August 31, he took his first trip to Australia – but it was first-class cots all the way for the high-flying baby. He journeyed with Etihad Airways in one of their private apartments, which can cost upwards of €20,000 for a return trip.
