The couple, who exchanged wedding vows in 2019, confirmed the birth of a baby girl on social media on Instagram on Saturday, with Bobby revealing their daughter’s name is Holland Juliette Kootstra.

She has been open about her fertility struggles in recent years, revealing in 2024 that she had suffered three miscarriages in five years.

Speaking in November, Katherine admitted she would love to have more children but was worried about her age.

‘I am old. “I thought I was going to be the father of the babies because I was working, but actually I’m like their grandmother,” he joked at the time. My back hurts, sometimes I give treats. I’m like a fun grandma.’

The comedian also announced in March 2025 that he was battling melanoma for the second time.

He made this statement in his podcast called Telling Everyone Everything and explained that he paid to have a mole removed from his arm and learned that it was cancerous. He added that he needed more surgery to make sure the entire mass was removed.

The star is preparing for another busy period of work by embarking on the Battleaxe comedy tour this month.

He also hosts multiple podcasts, including his latest. How Old Am I Again? – ‘a refreshing and humorous look at aging, wellness and self-discovery.’

The TV star revealed in 2022 that she was keeping her second pregnancy a secret because she was afraid it would lead to her losing her job.

She was eight months pregnant when she presented ITV’s Ready To Mingle, which she hid from everyone.

Katherine and her husband Bobby have been together since 2018, but have known each other since childhood, as they grew up together in Canada.

The childhood sweethearts parted ways before rekindling their love on this side of the Atlantic.

The couple revealed they ‘wanted the option of having a fourth child’ in the latest series of the family’s reality show [child].’

The series saw the couple explore their marriage through therapy before visiting a fertility clinic.

Katherine admitted in scenes aired in February that she knew it would be difficult to get pregnant with a fourth child due to both her and Bobby’s age.

‘It’s not that surprising that women over 40 have fewer follicles than they once did,’ Katherine said. ‘But we also talk a lot about male fertility, which is in sharp decline. But I still want a fourth baby.

We are so lucky to have the children we have. Having children is not everyone’s cup of tea, but I personally really like making people. If you can do it, I think it’s a superpower.’

She explained at the time that she and her husband had never had difficulty getting pregnant before, but had experienced many losses.

The star is preparing for a busy period of work by embarking on the Battleaxe comedy tour this month. Also, the latest What’s My Age Again? He hosts numerous podcasts, including.

‘We’ve always gotten pregnant with babies pretty quickly. “I’ve been pregnant five times in five years, but that also means I’ve had three miscarriages in five years, and the older I get the more likely that is,” she explained.

‘You have to find a balance between what you can personally tolerate and the risks you’re willing to take. I work hard and I don’t know if I will encounter such a medical emergency when I am in Lisbon on Thursday.’

To talk OK! She also rejected surrogacy last year, explaining: ‘I think surrogacy is great. ‘It’s great for people who are really willing to offer it and for couples who need it, but for me I think it would be exploitative.’

Appearing on the Chris Moyles Show in November, he admitted: ‘I’d have so much more if I could.

‘If I were a father I’d be like Robert De Niro having them. Because, as a father, you can have children when you turn 80. You just have to do this.’
