Kate Wright paid a touching tribute to fiancée Rio Ferdinand's late wife on Mother's Day.
The former TOWIE star was marking the day with her three stepchildren Lorenz, 11, Tate, nine and Tia, eight who tragically lost their mum almost four years ago.
Rio's late wife, Rebecca Ellison, sadly died in May 2015 from breast cancer at the age of 35.
On Mother's Day on Sunday, March 31, the former Manchester United footballer thanked his wife-to-be in an emotional message for keeping Rebecca's memory alive.
Kate has since shared her own tribute, posting a picture of a card to her Instagram page.
The card included an image of Rebecca as well as herself and the children’s grandparents as well as a message which read: "Here's to the mums, the stepmums, the not mums yet and the mums who can't be with us that we will never forget."
Alongside the post, the 28-year-old also said: "Lovely Mother’s Day dinner with family, we celebrated all 6 of us today.
"How lucky we all are to have hearts that can love after so much pain. Happy Mother’s Day to everyone."
Many fans have responded to Kate's sweet gesture, describing her as a 'role model' and a 'special woman'.
One said: "This is amazing, so beautiful!! You are such a special soul."
Another added: "What a special woman you are. I’m sure Rebecca worked her magic from heaven in choosing you to love her babies."
A third commented: "Wow what an inspirational women u are Rebecca will be looking down and thanking god that @rioferdy5 and her babies found u."
Rio proposed to Kate back in November on a helipad at Abu Dhabi's St Regis Hotel with the help of his children.
Announcing the news in November 2018, the football pundit said: "She said yes.
"How these 3 kids kept it a secret I’ll never know."
