Former TOWIE star Kate Ferdinand, 34, has dazzled fans with a stunning display of her toned figure while relaxing on a beach in Dubai. The reality star, who is married to ex-footballer Rio Ferdinand, shared a snap on Instagram of herself posing in a tiny white polka dot bikini against the backdrop of the iconic Burj Al Arab.
In the photo, Kate's blonde hair hung loose around her shoulders as she wore a black baseball cap, captioning the post: 'Beach Saturdays.' The mother of two, who also acts as stepmother to Rio's three children from his late wife Rebecca Ellison, beamed as she showcased her golden tan and enviable physique.
Kate and Rio, who married in 2019, recently relocated their family to Dubai. They share two children together: son Cree, five, and daughter Shae, two. Rio's older children—Lorenz, 18, Tate, 16, and Tia, 13—live with them as well.
In a candid interview on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast, Kate opened up about the challenges of stepping into a maternal role after Rebecca's death from cancer in 2015. She admitted to feeling conflicted about her love for her stepchildren, not wanting to overstep. She recalled a moment when she accidentally called herself 'Mummy' in front of Tia, who reassured her it was fine.
Kate also revealed an emotional struggle on her first Mother's Day after moving in with Rio and his kids. Despite feeling like a mum, she sobbed after not receiving a card, feeling guilty for wanting recognition. However, this year, Rio's eldest son Lorenz posted a sweet tribute on Instagram, honouring both his biological mother and Kate.
