LOVE Island star Jack Keating’s baby daughter’s name has finally been revealed after he stunned fans when he announced he had become a father earlier this year.
The 24 year old confirmed he had become a father just months after leaving the ITV2 reality series.

The mother of his daughter, Keely Iqbal, confirmed her name during a chat with her followers for an Instagram Q&A session.
She responded to a fan asking about the name of her daughter, where she confirmed it was Maya.
Pressing further, another inquisitive fan asked: “Does baby girl have a last name, daddy’s, or is it double barrel?”
Keely clarified the name was Maya Ann Keating and revealed the sweet nod to her mother’s side of the family with the middle name, Ann.
She said: “Ann was my mum’s name. She watches Maya from heaven.”
During the Q&A, she went into finer detail about little Maya’s birth and confirmed that she weighed six pounds and four ounces when she was born.
She also opened up on the realities of motherhood and admitted that although she found the role “tiring” it is the “best job”.
Keely said: Being a mum can be tiring but that’s okay because our 3am chats are my favourite and this is by far the best job in the world.”
Jack first confirmed the news about the arrival of his child in a social media post earlier this year.
He first shared the news on Instagram with an image of himself with the little one.
He told fans: “Welcome to the world my little ”
Jack entered Love Island during the Casa Amor part of the show in July of last year, but failed to find love.
