Cheaper by three-quarters of a dozen?! Yvonne Connolly and John Conroy have been happily married for more than 10 years, and share nine children between them.

The couple rarely share photos of their brood but have been known to celebrate the big milestones publically, including when two of John’s sons graduated from university.

Yvonne also celebrated one of her partner’s daughters on her milestone birthday in 2023 with a post, writing: ‘Happy 30th birthday. Thanks for being the loveliest person ever.’

Here’s everything to know about Yvonne and John’s blended family…

The couple are all about their family. Yvonne’s family life is well known as she shares three children with her former husband Ronan Keating: Jack, 25, Missy, 23, and 19-year-old Ali.

Their eldest Jack, who is now a father himself to one-year-old daughter Maya, shot to fame after a stint on Love Island but has gone on to build a showbiz career and is now dipping his toe into music and radio, just like his dad.

Missy, meanwhile, has waved goodbye to Ireland, for now at least, and is based in the US after time spent living and working in Australia.

Their youngest Ali, who loves horses just like her mum, is hoping to make a name for herself in the equestrian world and is also studying at college in Ireland.

Ali marked her mum’s birthday in February 2025 with a cute collage of photos and the words: ‘Happy birthday to the best mum anyone could ask for. Not quite sure what we’d do without you.’

While Yvonne is mad about her kids, John is a very proud dad to his. The cinematographer has six children with his former wife Suzanne. The couple were married for 20 years before they split.

The former couple share daughters Lauren and Grace as well as sons Christian, Gabe, Rian, and Fionn.

Gabe and Christian both graduated with a Bachelor Of Arts from the University of Limerick in August 2024, with John saying he ‘couldn’t be prouder’ and revealing that they’re both planning to study for a Masters next.

Earlier in 2024, Christian, Gabe, and Rian flew out to see their dad in the US with stepsister Missy with Yvonne waving them all off at Dublin airport.

Yvonne and John began dating in 2012 after both their marriages had ended. In fact, model and actress Missy played a huge role in how they met.

In an interview on RTÉ’s Today show in 2019, Yvonne opened up about their decision not to get married. ‘We have our children. We are happily unmarried and it suits us,’ she said.
