Katherine Ryan admits why she spoils daughter Violet with expensive gifts and flights
Comedian Katherine Ryan announced this week that she had given birth to newborn daughter Holland, meaning she is now a mum-of-four
Katherine Ryan has admitted the real reason why she spoils her 16-year-old daughter Violet with expensive gifts and flights. The comedian is now a mum-of-four after announcing the birth of her newborn daughter Holland this week.
Violet is her eldest daughter and Katherine isn't afraid to admit she spoils her, especially when it comes to Valentine's Day. However, the star has said that she has a very good reason why she treats her daughter to extravagant gifts.
She explained that it has to do with her daughter Violet knowing how she should be treated by a future partner and she shouldn't settle for the bare minimum.
Katherine appeared on Paloma Faith's Mad, Sad & Bad podcast, as she explained: "I don't raise humble children. I know that being a nepo baby can backfire.
"A lot of these children can really struggle to ascend to what their parents have achieved and that can be a terrible feeling. However, I have decided to spoil my daughter as much as I can and give her really extravagant Valentines."
She continued: "I fly her wherever she wants to go, I get her VIP tickets to anything that I can because then I feel like she won't be impressed by someone's dusty son.
"I used to be really impressed by like the offer of a ride home. I think I am a pretty great mother... and an excellent dad. Parenting is my wheelhouse. I'm good at it. I'm honest with my kids, I look after my kids. I don't have the same shame that I think is hoisted upon a lot of women if they chose to be mothers."
Katherine revealed this week that she welcomed her baby daughter, Holland, after just 45 minutes in labour. The star returned to her podcast alongside husband Bobby Koostra where they discussed the speedy arrival.
The mum-of-four held her baby girl Holland in her arms as she filmed Katherine Ryan: Telling Everybody Everything, just days after giving birth.
Katherine's husband Bobby announced the arrival of Holland on Instagram on Sunday, as he shared photos from her birth. The couple chose to have their baby daughter at the private maternity hospital, The Portland, which cost them a huge £10,000.
The pair said that they had a stress free experience when it came to Holland's arrival, with Katherine saying it was "smooth sailing".
Katherine said: 'I would call it pretty smooth sailing. The logistics of this birth were, if I hadn't given birth by Friday then we were to be induced, by a lovely, handsome doctor. Celebrity obstetrician, Pat.
"We won't say his full name, but those in the know, will know who he is. Everyone knows who he is. And he's not someone that you want to s**t yourself in front of."
