Kate Ferdinand shows off growing baby bump as she steps out with husband Rio

Ex-football star Rio Ferdinand and wife Kate stepped out in a matching strip for lunch with mates in Orpington, Kent.

Former TOWIE star Kate, 29, is keeping her due date quiet – but looking at her bump she is well into the second half...

Last month, Kate and Rio, who got married in Turkey last year, announced the gender of their baby last month during an emotional reveal party.

Kate recently opened her heart on the impact her pregnancy has had on her mental health.

The blonde beauty told how she has struggled to juggle the arrival of her first child with being step-mum to hubby Rio’s three kids Lorenz 14, Tate, 12, and Tia, nine.

She said: “Lockdown has been an experience.

"Obviously I was pregnant and the children didn’t know, and something I’ve struggled with is being pregnant with my first biological child and still being a mum.

“So, I felt I had all these new experiences… but I was still a stepmother or mother figure to three kids.

“I struggle with my mental health. Being active helps day-to-day with my anxiety, so when I can’t do things, I struggle with it.”
