Katherine Ryan and Bobby Kootstra (Part One)

Walking The Dog with Emily Dean

Today, we’re going on a walk with showbiz’s most fabulous couple… it’s Katherine Ryan and Bobby K!

We’re pretty much obsessed with Katherine and Bobby’s love story… which started when they were at high school together in their hometown of Sarnia, Ontario. Twenty years later, they reconnected in a very rom-com style when Katherine was filming Who Do You Think You Are.

We met Katherine and Bobby with their dogs Manny and Cardi B in North London - we discussed everything from the pressure boys feel when they experience the death of their fathers, how Katherine’s daughter Violet reacted to Bobby joining their family and the secret to their relationship success.
