Katherine Ryan gives birth

Katherine Ryan has given birth to her second child.

The ‘Duchess’ star – who has 11-year-old Violet from a previous relationship – has confirmed the arrival of her and partner Bobby Kootstra’s baby, though she didn’t share any information about the tot.

Katherine shared a photo of herself lying next to her baby on her Instagram Story on Monday (13.06.21) along with the caption: “I have a really good reason yesterday’s podcast was late.”

And she also shared a photo of Bobby holding the tot while watching the Euro 2020 tournament on TV and wrote: “Eagerly arriving just before kick off ()”

The 37-year-old comic’s announcement came just a day after she shared a photo of her huge bump on Instagram and only two weeks after she confirmed her pregnancy during a live recording of her podcast.

Katherine surprised the audience at a recording of her ‘Telling Everybody Everything’ podcast in London when she stepped out on stage in a tight-fitting dress that clung to her huge baby bump.

She refused to share her due date with the audience as she told the crowd her main piece of pregnancy advice was to never reveal that piece of information and she praised the Duchess of Sussex for having only said she will give birth to her second child in the “summertime”.

Katherine explained being vague stopped people asking too many questions and comparing the size of her bump to other pregnant women.

She later brought out her daughter Violet onto the stage, and the youngster said she was “very excited” to be a big sister.

Fans had been speculating Katherine was expecting since March, when she shared an image of herself on Instagram sitting on a chair in a yellow dress, with followers thinking they had caught a glimpse of a bump, but this is the first time she has confirmed the news directly.
