Katherine Ryan Mocks Pregnancy Realities While Congratulating Sophie Habboo’s Maternity Style

Katherine Ryan poked fun at herself as she congratulated Sophie Habbo on her pregnancy with husband Jamie Laing. 

The Canadian comedian, 41, took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday with a hilarious expectations vs reality photo.

She shared a snap of Sophie, 30, looking glam at a wedding in a green dress that showed off her blossoming baby bump.

In complete contrast, Katherine shared a bare-faced snap of herself as she posed in her kitchen with her baby bump.

She penned on the post: ‘@Sophiehabboo congratulations on your impending arrival and I will cherish a summer of coveting your maternity style while I’m sweating under a hat wishing for ankles.’

Just last week, Katherine revealed she’s expecting her fourth baby.

The beauty is expecting with her husband Bobby Kootstra with whom she has been in a civil partnership with since 2019.

Katherine is already mum to Fred, three daughter Fenna, two, with Bobby, as well as 15-year-old Violet from a previous relationship.

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

Speaking in November, Katherine admitted she would love to have more kids – but was worried about her age. ‘I’m old. I used to think I was going to be the babies’ dad because I’m working but actually I’m like their grandmother,’ she quipped at the time. ‘My back hurts, sometimes I give them treats. I’m like a fun grandma.’

The comedian also revealed in March 2025 that she was battling melanoma for the second time.

She made the revelation in her podcast, Telling Everybody Everything, explaining she paid to have mole removed from her arm and learned it was cancerous. She added that she required more surgery to ensure the entire mass has been removed.

The star is gearing up for another busy period of work, embarking on her Battleaxe comedy tour this month.

She also hosts multiple podcasts, including her most recent What’s My Age Again? – a ‘refreshing and humorous take on ageing, wellness, and self-discovery.’

The TV star revealed in 2022 that she had kept her second pregnancy a secret, because she was scared it would lead to her losing work.

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

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

Childhood sweethearts, the two parted ways initially before rekindling their romance this side of the Atlantic.

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

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

Katherine admitted in February that she knew conceiving a fourth child would be challenging thanks to both her and Bobby’s age 

Katherine admitted in the scenes which aired in February that she knew conceiving a fourth child would be challenging thanks to both her and Bobby’s age.

‘It’s not that surprising that over-40 women have fewer follicles than we once did,’ said Katherine. ‘But we talk a lot about male fertility as well, which is on a steep decline. But I would still like a fourth baby.

We are so blessed to have the kids that we do have. Having children is not for everyone, but I personally really like making people. I think it’s a superpower, if you can do it.’

She explained at the time how she and her husband had never previously struggled with getting pregnant but had suffered multiple losses.

‘We’ve always gotten pregnant with the babies quite quickly. I’ve been pregnant five times in five years, but that also means I’ve had three miscarriages in five years and the likelihood of that increases as you get older,’ she explained.

‘You have to find a balance between what you can personally stand and risks you’re willing to take. I’m working a lot and I don’t know if I could have a medical emergency like that while I’m in Lisbon on Thursday.’
