"Katherine has given me the best gift in the world. Absolutely smitten with Orla and so proud of my wife," he said in a statement.
The British star revealed that she was pregnant for the first time last September, following her nuptials in Las Vegas only the month before. “Ryan & I are overjoyed to announce that we are expecting a baby! Feeling very blessed!” she gushed.
Despite being a well-known face, Katherine avoided a lavish ceremony and said “I do” at Sin City’s Little Church of the West after a three year relationship with Ryan. She has claimed in the past that she is a big fan of weddings, but has never been drawn to having an over-the-top one for herself because of the pressure to get everything right.
