'I’m the brains and Ronan is the entertainer' Storm Keating on who really runs the show

Storm Keating and Ronan may have it all- a happy family, a beautiful home, and a glamorous jet-setting lifestyle, but it wasn't without sacrifice on the mum-of-two's part.

When Storm first met Ronan in 2010 on the set of The X Factor Australia, she was a successful TV producer who had worked extremely hard to get where she was.

However, after 'falling madly in love' with the singer, Storm was left with a decision to make- leave Australia and move to Ireland, where they could be closer to the children he shares with ex-wife Yvonne Connolly, or stay and lose the love of her life.

She took the leap of faith and moved to the other side of the world for him and his children, Jack, Missy, and Ali, and although she has 'never regretted it for a second,' it wasn't without its challenges.

Speaking to EVOKE, Storm admitted: 'When I met Ronan and moved to the other side of the world, I gave up my career in tv because he had to be near the three kids as they were so young and because of his lifestyle and his career I had to step back from mine.'

'I made a choice and I miss it all the time but I don’t regret it, it’s hard at times because people only see me as Ronan's wife which is difficult, I gave up a large piece of my ego when I moved because career women are so often judged by their titles and I no longer had one.'

However, Storm added that when the three kids came into my life, her 'priorities had to shift,' and she confessed: 'I wouldn’t change a single thing even though it was a step back for me and also a personal struggle for me that people just assume I’m a famous singer's wife.'

The 43-year-old, who shares two children, Cooper and Coco with Ronan, explained: 'People don't see that behind the scenes I’m the one running the show, I manage all our finances and our companies and that’s a full-time job, it’s a lot of responsibility.'

Storm quipped: 'I’m the brains and Ronan is the entertainer. I work my bollix off and I sacrifice a lot to make it work!'

Speaking about how she and Ronan manage to keep their spark alive, Storm gushed: 'We’re really lucky, we don't really have to work at it,' but added that they are still a normal couple and do have days where they 'disagree.'

'We make compromises, forgive easily, and love hard, and our relationship is so equal, we both make good money, we both raise the children, we’re both domesticated around the house, we both have a lot of mutual respect.'
