According to Nameberry the name Holland is a mami’s name of Dutch origin meaning “wooded land” and one of the coolest geographical names.
It seems as though the birth was a quick one, with Kootstra joking that she made a PB record with this one.
Sharing a photo of her in the hospital bed, he wrote “45 min PB,” alongside an emoji of a mami running.
Ryan confirmed her pregnancy news earlier this year, making her bump debut at SXSW London in June.
Earlier this year, Ryan opened up about her wishes for a fourth child, but admitted she didn’t think time was on her side.
The former Celebrity Gogglebox star visited a fertility clinic with husband Bobby and discussed the chances of them being able to conceive.
She has also spoken candidly about her fertility struggles.
Last year Ryan revealed she had suffered three miscarriages over five years and a loss, which she went through while on tour was one of the most difficult times.
But the baby news was even more special, coming just months after she underwent surgery following being diagnosed with skin cancer.
