If you thought Ronan Keating would mostly be at home today, mulling over how life is something of a rollercoaster (sorry) and how he's no longer lovin' each day as if it's the last (oh god we can't stop), then you were wrong.

Here he is, getting on with life at a charity coffee morning in Dublin today. He was there with his former bandmate Keith Duffy at Irish Autism Action's Coffee Morning for World Autism Awareness Day at Fire Restaurant in the Mansion House, Dublin.

Ronan Keating puts on a brave face at photocall after marriage split... as he denies he is moving to Australia full-time
2 April 2012

Less than 24 hours earlier, Ronan Keating and his estranged wife Yvonne had announced their marriage was over.

But despite the spotlight back on his personal life during a difficult time, the Irish singer managed to put on a brave face at a photocall today.

The father-of-three joined his Boyzone bandmate Keith Duffy at a coffee morning photocall in Dublin to promote World Autism Awareness Day.


Brave face: Irish singer Ronan Keating attended a coffee morning for World Autism Awareness Day at Fire Restaurant in Dublin today

Despite his personal woes, the 35-year-old singer managed to smile and play with some local children at the Fire restaurant at Mansion House.

His public appearance came as he dismissed rumours that he is planning a permanent move Down Under.

The star took to Twitter this morning to deny the reports published. He wrote: 'I hear some papers are saying I plan on moving to Oz. great country but my kids live in Ireland and so will I.'

A spokesperson for the Boyzone star also confirmed to Mail Online that Ronan will remain in Dublin for the six months of the year that he doesn't need to be in Sydney to film the Australian version of The X Factor.


The Daily Mirror reported today that Keating is to relocate permanently Down Under, 11,000 miles away from his family because 'he's become a big star there and enjoys the lifestyle.'

But now the singer has confirmed that despite loving the country, no such plans are in place.

The reports came just a day after he confirmed his split from wife Yvonne, 37, and had it been true would have certainly rubbed salt in the fresh wounds.

Keating has been working as a judge on the Australian version of The X Factor since 2010, and spends as much as six months of the year there.

Despite this, the star is a devoted father to his children Jack, 13, Marie, 11 and Ali, six.
