Katherine Ryan has revealed the name of her newborn baby boy.
She and partner Bobby Kootstra welcomed their new arrival on Sunday, as Katherine posted an adorable snap to her Instagram account.
Holding her new bundle of joy in her arms and looking worn out but incredibly happy, Katherine wrote: “I have a really good reason why yesterday’s podcast is late.”
The star has been documenting her pregnancy on social media, with Bobby finally posting to reveal their baby’s name on Monday.
In a sweet snap, Katherine and Bobby can be seen standing on the steps of Lindo Wing Maternity Hospital in London – the same hospital in which Kate Middleton gave birth – holding their baby son in a carrier.

Katherine is clearly glowing in the first adorable snap, bundled up in a floral robe and black pants, while Bobby is rocking a bright orange jacket and sweats.
“Our son Frederick Ryan Koostra, born June 13th :),” Bobby captioned the photoset. “Mom has the reproductive organs of a finely tuned sports car, and in a flash raced this baby over the line just in time for kick-off.
“She’s a total hero. 3 hours start to finish.”

Later, Bobby could be seen giving his new bundle of joy a snuggle, as the tiny newborn was swaddled up on a cushion.
The doting dad looks delighted to be able to spend time with the new baby.
And in one adorable clip, Frederick can be seen dozing, with an adorable blue-ribboned label on his tummy which reads: “It’s a BOY.”
The sweet gender reveal came as Bobby got to enjoy the Netherlands vs Ukraine Euros match – and even let his baby boy get a glimpse of the TV screen.

“Eagerly arriving just before kickoff,” Katherine shared to her Instagram story.
Katherine also shared an adorable snap of her with daughter Violet, 11, outside the hospital, looking stunning in a scarlet maxi-dress.
“Always my day-one,” she wrote alongside the shot, along with two love-heart emojis.
Fans rushed to the comments section to share their love with the couple, with one eagerly posting: “I love this fam! Beautiful!”

Katherine only debuted her baby bump last month, and kept quiet about her due date with fans until the new arrival was officially announced.
She’s been in a civil partnership with partner Bobby since 2019, though they dated for a year when Katherine was just 15.
The high-school sweethearts lost touch for 20 years, but thankfully a chance encounter brought them back together.
