Who is Katherine Ryan's partner?
Katherine has been in a relationship with her current partner, Bobby Kootstra, since 2018. But the pair's history goes back even further. The couple were first involved as teenagers when they were both living in Canada, but eventually went their separate ways.
However, in 2018, Katherine returned to her hometown in Canada to film an episode of BBC show, Who Do You Think You Are? and was in fact reunited with Bobby, who works in broadcasting. They have been together ever since and, in 2019, entered a civil partnership together.

"You should never tell people your due date. If you never tell them, they can never start hassling you around that 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."

What has Katherine Ryan said about her family?
Katherine previously opened up about her relationship with Bobby. She told Radio Times: "He didn’t do the other things that I’d experienced in relationships. He didn’t demand undivided attention, he was not in competition with my daughter. Like, I still sleep in my daughter’s room in her sleepover bed. I don’t sleep in my bed with my husband."

She also told Jonathan Ross on his show about their decision not to have a traditional marriage: "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!"
