Katherine Ryan has welcomed her second child, a baby boy.
The comedian announced that she'd had a baby on her Instagram Stories, sharing a picture of her cradling the newborn.
"I have a really good reason why yesterday's podcast is late," she captioned it.
Katherine then posted another picture of her partner Bobby Kootstra holding their little one ahead of the Netherlands-Ukraine Euro 2020 football game, adding: "Eagerly arrived just before kickoff."
The Duchess star's husband announced the name the pair had picked for their little one on his Instagram.
"Our son Frederick Ryan Kootstra, born June 13th:)" he wrote.

"Mom has the reproductive organs of a finely tuned Sportscar, and in a flash raced this baby over the line just in time for kickoff #nedvsukr She's a total hero. 3 hours start to finish #bestday."
Katherine, 37, is already a mum to 11-year-old daughter Violet from a previous relationship.
She entered into a civil partnership with her former childhood sweetheart Bobby in 2019 after they rekindled their romance.
Speaking about their decision to have a low-key ceremony, Katherine previously said: "I don't want a big occasion because of the history of it and the fact women used to belong to their fathers and then belong to their husbands and put on a white dress because they're virgins, I mean I think it's gross and I don't want to do it. "I appreciate that other people like to have a party but again I get to put on beautiful dresses and not have to make an invite list and arrange seating and hire a DJ, I just don't want to do those things at all."
The comedian has been keeping her pregnancy private, only recently confirming that she was expecting on the Telling Everybody Everything podcast.
She said her daughter was "very excited" about becoming a big sister.
Katherine also recently responded to questions about whether she'd be cancelling her upcoming tour due to her pregnancy.
"I'm just gonna let that sexism wash over me. I'm not gonna let it affect my zen," she said on Instagram. "No, I'm not cancelling my tour.
"I've received a lot of really touching nice messages and a lot of rude messages and a lot of messages – A LOT of messages – asking if I'm gonna cancel my tour. No I'm not cancelling my tour.
"Your dad is cancelling his tour."
The Duchess season 1 is streaming on Netflix.
