Comedian Katherine Ryan has publicly discussed a concerning situation involving a former housekeeper and the disappearance of several high-value designer coats from her home.

Initial Suspicions and Discovery

Ryan initially suspected her husband, Bobby Koostra, known for his decluttering habits, might have discarded the items. However, Koostra vehemently denied this, prompting Ryan to consider other possibilities. Her suspicions grew after discovering the housekeeper taking photographs of her husband’s clothing.

Housekeeper's Explanation

The housekeeper explained she was taking the photos to send to her adult son residing in Jamaica. Despite this explanation, Ryan found the repeated instances of photographing her husband’s clothes, along with requests for her son to potentially stay at their residence, unsettling.

Missing Items and Unique Coat

The missing items included a Prada puffer jacket and a uniquely customized Alexander Wang coat. This particular coat featured a felt depiction of comedian Romesh Ranganathan – a design Ryan acquired specifically because Ranganathan disliked it.

Ryan detailed the incident on the Olivia's House with Olivia Attwood podcast, emphasizing her initial willingness to be open-minded. She ultimately ‘parted ways’ with the housekeeper, but the loss of the coats remained a concern.

Daughter's Father and Co-Parenting

Beyond the missing coats, Ryan also discussed her relationship with the father of her eldest daughter, Violet, 16. She revealed a shift in her approach to discussing him publicly, now that Violet is old enough to form her own opinions.

Limited Involvement

Ryan expressed frustration with his lack of financial or emotional support for Violet, characterizing his infrequent contact as ‘breadcrumbing.’ She stated he has never made sacrifices for his daughter and his involvement in her life is minimal.

Ryan shares three children with Bobby Koostra: Fred, four, Fenna, three, and Holland, six months, and is navigating the complexities of blended family dynamics and co-parenting.
