Comedian Katherine Ryan has hit out at Brooklyn Beckham for renewing his wedding vows just three years after marrying wife Nicola Peltz.
The mother-of-three, 41, who’s expecting her fourth baby, married her childhood sweetheart Bobby Kootstra in a private courthouse ceremony almost six years ago and says they have no reason to renew their vows.
Katherine believes that historically celebrity vow renewals were a sign of ‘red flags’ and ‘dysfunction’ in the relationship and nowadays couples prefer to throw a party and stage photographs to post on Instagram.
Last week, Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, renewed their vows in an intimate outdoor ceremony, a far cry from their lavish 2022 wedding at the Peltz family’s Palm Beach estate, surrounded by family, friends and A-list guests.
Victoria and David Beckham were notably missing from their son’s special day amid their ongoing feud which has seen Brooklyn cut ties with his parents, relocate to the States and reject the chance to reconnect at his father’s 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year.
And Brooklyn wasn’t the only celebrity to recommit to his wife last week as boxer Tyson Fury and Paris said ‘I do’ for the fifth time in France after first marrying back in 2008.

Speaking exclusively, Katherine said: ‘Brooklyn Beckham renewed his vows? Isn’t he like 12 years old?
‘I don’t like to judge how people display their affection. Historically, we would have seen the renewal of vows as a red flag, something is wrong in a relationship.
‘Sometimes people use milestones to compensate for dysfunction, sometimes people aren’t getting along and they think, let’s get engaged, and they’re fighting a lot and think, we need to get married, and they hate each other and so have a baby.
‘But times have changed culturally and celebrities want to have another party and get the photos and invite their family and friends.
‘I am not a wedding person at all. I didn’t have a wedding, we got married in a courthouse.
‘Once you have known a man for a certain length of time, I would find it impossible to say nice things about him in front of my friends and family.
‘If you can be married for a number of years and have children together, build a life together and still without irony say nice things about your partner in front of friends and family then good for you. I couldn’t do that.’
Katherine, who’s a mother to daughter Violet, 16, and shares children Fred, four, and Fenna, two, with Bobby, revealed the secret to her successful marriage is laughter and she credits her husband for being secure enough to accept she’s the funnier person in their relationship.

She said: ‘Bobby has all the attributes of what would traditionally be an alpha male, he played American football, he’s really muscular, everyone says he’s good looking, he’s great at sports, because he has all of those things, I don’t think he suffers from this weak male trait of being intimidated by funny women.
‘It’s very weak men who say women aren’t funny. Bobby lets me by my authentic self and I do so with him, and he’s very secure in who he is and he loves having a funny wife. He’s dated a lot of unfunny babes and it wasn’t worth it.
‘Bobby and I come from such a similar place, we have a lot of core values which are the same and we have a laugh together, the more married people we get to know, some of them married because they have sexual chemistry, some of them married, who knows why, but we are best friends and we always have a laugh together, which is so important.’
While Katherine prioritises laughter in her relationship, she admits on occasion she and Bobby can go too far with the intimate details they’re willing to share with their fanbase.
During his appearance on Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo’s NearlyParents podcast, Bobby made a remark about Katherine she won’t be quick to forget.
She said: ‘Bobby is surprising transparent like I am, he is worse than I am, he’s gone onto podcasts and said things that have shocked me. He says more about our sex life than I do.
‘I seem like I have no boundaries but there are things I won’t say that Bobby will and has said on our reality show and podcasts.
‘He went on Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo’s podcast and said stuff about my arsehole so no he doesn’t care.’
Katherine’s first daughter Violet has recently been appearing more with the comic on TikTok and demonstrating an eagerness to follow in her mother’s footsteps (pictured July 2025)
Katherine, who interviewed Katie Price on her podcast What’s My Age Again, said she believes it was right the ex-glamour model was kept away from filming daughter Princess Andre’s show
Katherine’s first daughter Violet, who inspired her Netflix series The Duchess, has recently been appearing more with the comic on TikTok and demonstrating an eagerness to follow in her mother’s footsteps.
Violet is two years younger than Princess Andre, whose ITV2 show The Princess Diaries debuted last week without her mother Katie Price’s involvement.
Katie said she was ‘angry’ after being ‘banned’ from recording scenes for the series by ex-husband Peter Andre’s management company, who signed Princess as a client when she turned 16.
The launch of Princess’s new show has reignited exes Katie and Peter’s long running feud, with the singer fighting back last week, explaining that the children they share together, Junior, 20, and Princess, have been in his care since 2018 as he publicly slammed his former wife’s ‘baseless accusations.’
Katherine, who has interviewed Katie on her podcast What’s My Age Again, said she believes it was right the former glamour model was kept away from filming.
She said: ‘Even though I am a 42 year old nearly mother of four I feel really influenced, I need to get on ITV and see what this show is all about.
‘There’s an element of nostalgia and intrigue with Princess because I remember when she and Junior were born, I am a really big Peter Andre and Katie Price fan and I think those kids seem to be so comfortable in the entertainment space and so articulate and well adjusted.
‘Of course I would let Violet do a show without me being in it. Princess is 18 so no parent has to be in her show and I love, love, love Katie Price but it’s really good to let your children do their own thing without you sometimes too.
‘I’m sure Katie recognises that the audience she has and some of the vitriol that’s directed at her quite unfairly I believe is something she would want to step back from and untangling with Princess at this stage.’

Katherine is a celebrity ambassador for recipe box brand Gousto, which she says is a miracle solution to ensuring her busy household is fed and in record time.
And with September around the corner and parents planning for their children to go back-to-school, Katherine says Gousto’s Dinner Peace range is ideal for feeding families with quick yet healthy evening meals.
Research conducted for Gousto discovered over half (57 per cent) of Brits admit thinking about what to cook feels like a chore and nearly a third of parents (31 per cent) say deciding dinner is the single most stressful school-night moment.
Katherine said: ‘I’ve had a longtime and very organic partnership with Gousto because we find the recipe boxes to be a lifesaver in my house, it arrives at the door, everything is ready to go, you don’t have to think.
‘Now they have introduced this back-to-school Dinner Peace campaign, 10 minute meals and five minute prep and even no cook meals without compromising on flavour or variety, they are delicious and it’s one less thing that we have to think about.’
Time saving in the evenings without compromising on quality and flavour is everything Katherine needs as a working mother of three and a fourth baby on the way.
Despite her glamorous lifestyle, Katherine says she’s still committed to running her household and doing the school run for each of her children and she even missed those elements of her day when she was on tour.
She explained: ‘I like to fold the towels a certain way and I like to have the wardrobes organised and I like to put the labels on everybody’s uniform and do the cooking.
‘You don’t realise that you value those things until they are taken away. For 10 months I was leaving around dinner time everyday so it was a mad dash and Bobby was doing the cooking but now that I’m at home nesting, I love to do everything.
‘I have just realised I will have three children going to three different schools, which is not smart.
‘Fred is starting reception and Fenna will continue going to her nursery so both of them will go three days a week but 40 minutes apart and Violet is going into London to do her A levels and I really want to be quite present with her because I’m conscious she will be 18 before I know it.’
