Congrats!

Congratulations are in order for comedian Katherine Ryan, who has welcomed her third child.

Katherine’s partner Bobby Kootstra announced the new arrival by sharing two photos on Instagram.

One picture shows the baby girl, while another shows Katherine leaning against the edge of her birthing tub.

Bobby also shared his daughter’s name – Fenna Grace Koostra.

In the caption, he wrote that she arrived at 12:05am on 16 December.

“Mom is incredible!” he wrote. “Proving her strength repeatedly through her relatively lengthy delivery at home. We are so blessed.”

In the comments of the post, many of Katherine’s famous friends shared their congratulations.

Comedian Roisin Conaty wrote: “Oh my darlings what a beautiful baby huge congratulations to you both. Can’t wait to meet her.”

Katherine is already the mother of 13-year-old Violet from a previous relationship, and she also has a one-year-old son, Fred, with Bobby.

The comedian announced that she was pregnant this summer during her podcast Katherine Ryan: Telling Everybody Everything.

At the time, she said: “You guys know I’m pregnant, I’ve been pregnant for a while and here’s how I did that. I got pregnant while breastfeeding the first time I tried and to be honest with you I don’t think it’s going to work because I’m 39 – I would have been 38 when I got pregnant.

“And I thought ‘we’ve got to get the kids out of the way’. You never know how long you’re gonna have and I love my kids.”

She added: “I just thought, ‘well let’s go for it.'”

We’re sending Katherine and Bobby our best wishes with their new arrival.
