Rio Ferdinand was left red-faced after his wife Kate Ferdinand exposed his bathroom habits during their latest Blended podcast episode.
The former Manchester United defender, 48, and Kate, 35, were discussing messy habits when the topic turned to the toilet. Rio insisted: “My toilet etiquette is impeccable.”
Kate replied: “Sorry, we’re not going to get into it.” But when Rio continued to protest his innocence, she added: “I have to scrub your skids sometimes with a brush.”
Rio's Reaction
An unimpressed Rio said it was “once in a blue moon” and added: “Oh my God. This is a liberty.”
The football pundit also joked about his strict approach to bathroom privacy, saying: “If I’m on the toilet and she tries to walk in, there’s a big alarm goes off. I start shouting, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa.’”
Family Life
Rio and Kate married in 2019 and have two children together, Cree and Shea. Rio also has three children, Lorenz, Tate and Tia, from his previous marriage to Rebecca Ellison, who died from breast cancer in 2015.
The couple moved from London to Dubai last summer. Kate recently spoke on social media about the “guilt” she has felt since the move, telling her 1.4 million followers: “I have five kids across two countries, I’m navigating motherhood and trying to be everything for everyone. Lately, I’ve been struggling with mum/ step mum guilt and missing everyone living in the same home.”
She captioned a post of images: “I’ve got into a habit of overthinking Instagram and the reality is there’s so much more going on behind the pictures. Making a promise to myself to share a little less perfection and more me.”
Family Dog
In May, Kate opened up about the loss of the family dog Ronnie, a chihuahua they took in back in 2015 that also moved with the couple to Dubai.
Last month, Kate shared more positive news, revealing a new puppy had joined the family. She wrote on Instagram: “Just trying to build two brands, juggle 5 kids across 2 countries, be a good wife and maintain some level of sanity…
“So naturally, I went and adopted a dog. Meet Rudey-Bear. We aren’t sure what this little one has been through but after 10 days he is finally starting to settle into his forever home.”
