“Holland Juliette Kootstra has arrived :) The ‘Patrick Mahomes’ of childbirth pulled out another MVP performance! Amazing to witness the greatness of @kathbum #blessed,” he wrote, praising his wife for her strength and humour during labour.
The couple, who entered into a civil partnership in 2019 after rekindling their romance years after first dating as teenagers, are already parents to son Fred, aged four, and daughter Fenna, aged two. Katherine also shares her eldest daughter Violet, now 14, from a previous relationship.
Fans and celebrity friends flooded the comments section with messages of love and congratulations for the couple, with many applauding Katherine’s trademark mix of honesty, humour, and heart throughout her journey through motherhood.
The Taskmaster star has been refreshingly open about her family life, often sharing candid and hilarious insights into parenting on social media and her hit podcast Telling Everybody Everything.

She has previously spoken about the ups and downs of balancing a busy career with raising four children, admitting that while it can be chaotic, she wouldn’t have it any other way. “It’s loud, it’s full-on, but it’s also full of love,” she said in a recent interview.
Katherine and Bobby, who live in the UK, have become one of British comedy’s most loved couples, often sharing glimpses of their life together online, from family holidays to behind-the-scenes moments of everyday parenting.
The Canadian-born comedian rose to fame in the UK with her sharp wit, fearless comedy, and television appearances on shows including 8 Out of 10 Cats, QI, and Have I Got News for You. She also starred in the Netflix sitcom The Duchess, which drew inspiration from her own life as a single mother.
Katherine’s fans were thrilled to see her growing family continue to thrive, with many commenting on how beautiful the baby’s name is. One follower wrote, “Holland Juliette is such a stunning name, congratulations to you all!” while another added, “Katherine really is the MVP of everything she does.”
