KATHERINE Ryan has fast become a household name, thanks to her quick wit and sassy humour. But some fans often wonder if she is married, and how many children she has.
Born on June 30, 1983 in Ontario, Canada, Katherine Ryan is a comedian, actress and presenter.
The Canadian comic is best known for starring in her Netflix sitcom The Duchess.
Katherine has also appeared on comedy panel shows like 8 Out of 10 Cats, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Mock the Week and Have I Got News for You.
In 2022 Katherine returned to BBC Two to host All That Glitters.
Katherine isn’t married but she is in a relationship with her civil partner Bobby Kootstra, who was also her childhood sweetheart.
He hails from her native Canada and it is believed he works in the broadcast industry.
The pair were young lovebirds back in the day and 20 years later, in 2018, they rekindled their relationship after she returned to Canada to film BBC show Who Do You Think You Are?.
You can follow Bobby on Instagram under @bobby_k__. where he regularly posts pictures of him and Katherine together.
The couple aren’t married but in December 2019 they entered into a civil partnership.
They opted to conduct their ceremony in Denmark because it was “quickest and easiest”.
Katherine said on ITV’s The Jonathan Ross Show: “It was a lovely day.
“It’s perfect having a civil partner.
“We didn’t have a wedding, I didn’t need to put on a white dress and pretend to be a virgin, that ship has sailed!”
In June 2021, Katherine gave birth to her first child with Bobby.
She shared a picture of herself lying beside her little one and told fans: “I have a really good reason yesterday’s podcast was late.”
It is Katherine’s second child – she is already mum to 12-year-old Violet from a previous relationship.
