Kate, who found fame on the ITV reality show The Only Way is Essex, married husband Rio, 43, in September 2019. The former Manchester United star also has three children from his former relationship with his first wife Rebecca Ellison, who died of breast cancer in 2015.
Kate and Rio already have a son, Cree, aged two, together. Kate is also step-mum to Rio's three children Lorenz, 16, Tate, 14, and Tia, 11.
Last July, Kate suffered a miscarriage. At the time, she said she was "devastated and heartbroken". In an emotional caption to her Instagram following, she said: "So much to say, but somehow I can’t find the words. Absolutely devastated and heartbroken."
She continued: "Couldn’t be more grateful for the hugs I got from my big(er) babies [Lorenz, Tate and Tia] coming through the door when we arrived home."
