Keating shared a photograph of his arm tattoo, which shows a long-haired female warrior carrying a sword.
“For you my warrior today and every day,” he wrote.
“My Stormy. A challenge ahead but your strength blows my mind.
“With you every step.
“Love you baby.”
Keating has been married to his 42-year-old wife since 2015.
The couple met on The X Factor Australia in 2010.
They share two children, a son named Cooper, 7, and a daughter Coco, 4.
Fans rushed to the comments section of Keating’s post to say they hoped everything was okay.
One famous fan — Australian singer and actress Natalie Bassingthwaighte — was one of the first to express her concern.
“Sending you both so much love,” she said.
“Hope she is OK.”
“Hope Storm is OK, love the tattoo. Sending lots of love and positive prayers,” another fan wrote.
“Hope all is OK, whatever it is — you got this Storm,” added a third.
One fan was hoping for more clarification.
“I’m missing the story here, could someone fill in the blanks please?” the follower wrote.
However, Keating has not publicly elaborated on his post, which was shared on Instagram on Tuesday morning UK time.
“This is the most romantic thing I’ve ever read! You two are meant to be, and your love will get you through anything,” observed one follower.
“Storm is an amazing strong positive lady, hope she is okay,” another follower said.
Both Ronan and Storm Keating regularly share insights into their family life on social media.
Storm Keating’s most recent post, shared on Monday, showed her sitting on a patch of grass, eating ice cream with her two children.
“One of those days when you spontaneously decide not to rush back to the office and instead clear the afternoon so you can detour to the playground,” she wrote.
“Those are the best days,” one follower wrote.
“That’s what life is all about,” said another.
Storm is Ronan Keating’s second wife.
His first was Yvonne Connolly, whom he wed in 1998.
The pair had three children together: son Jack, born in 1999, and daughters Marie (born 2001) and Ali (born 2005).
The high-profile couple separated in 2010 after it was revealed that Keating had a seven-month affair with one of Boyzone’s backup dancers, Francine Connell.
Keating became a grandfather at the age of 46 when his son Jack announced in March 2023 that he had become the father of a baby girl.
Just months later, in July 2023, the pop singer’s older brother Ciaran died in a car crash in Ireland.
In an Instagram post a month later, Keating praised Storm for her unwavering love and support after the tragedy.
Sharing a video montage of the pair together as they marked their wedding anniversary, he described Storm as “something special”.
“Thank you for the absolute unwavering honesty and love. Without you, I would be somewhere very dark,” he wrote.
“Your love is my compass.
“Always hard to be apart but knowing it’s there always brings me back safe.
“Happy anniversary. In this lifetime and every one that the universe gives after that I will find you.
“No two spirits were more connected.
“Love ya Baba. X.”
