Her other sons, Muck (4) and Youp (2), were born through an IVF pathway. ,,The best seed and the best eggs were used for Youp and Muck, and now it was random? That made the pregnancy extra fraught,” she says in an interview Kek Mama.

Son Ted was born last February and is the third son Kötter and her husband, singer Jaap Reesema (36). “A few weeks after Ted was born, Jack said from the bottom of his heart: ‘A third is perfect. That’s how our family was meant to be,” says Kötter. Initially, it was a big shock to the couple precisely because the pregnancy came about naturally. Reesema in particular had to get used to the idea of a third child. He panicked and that made Kötter extra nervous, says in the latest issue of Kek Mama.

Reesema regularly spends half a week in Belgium for his work and that was quite tough, especially with a small baby, Kötter tells. Kek Mama. ,,I also noticed lately that I had too much on my fork; too many deadlines, all the responsibility for the kids, while Ted didn’t gain enough weight – that hurts you as a mother. Then you can still be so positive, that eats up extra energy.”

That’s why she rang the bell: ,,I said to Jaap: ‘I need you now, I just can’t make it.’ Since I never ask for help, Jaap immediately knew it was serious and immediately cleared a few days in his agenda. We paused together for a while, which had an immediate positive effect on Ted,” said Kötter.
