Katia Langenheim is a professional painter and artist. Her work has been shown at Melbourne shows. She is best known as the mother of Orange Is the New Black star, Ruby Rose. The mother-daughter relationship is close; Katia frequently joins her famous daughter on holidays and activities.
Katia had an unusual start in life. She became pregnant with Ruby at a young age. Things worsened after the baby was born since the father of the child was abusive.
To flee the unhealthy relationship, she took her daughter and lived in a caravan. Finally, at the age of 20, she was able to break the bond and begin parenting the former MTV VJ as a single mother.
But the star mom and her daughter’s difficulties were far from ended. Ruby revealed her lesbian sexuality when she was six years old. While Katia was a huge supporter of her daughter, Ruby’s classmates were the polar opposite. Ruby was bullied a lot when she was around the age of 12.
Ruby became depressed as a result of problems at school and her struggle with gender identification. She even considered suicide at one point. Katia, as a mother and supporter, stayed by her side throughout all of the conflicts. She even purchased a coastal shack in Kilcunda to aid her actress daughter.
