Kate Ferdinand and husband Rio announce second child's gender after reveal 'went wrong' with 'choking'

Pregnant Kate Ferdinand has officially announced the gender of her and husband Rio's second child after their big reveal 'went all wrong'. The former The Only Way is Essex star announced that she and former footballer Rio were expecting their second child into the world later this year.

Kate, who is already a doting mum to son Cree, took to her Instagram to confirm the happy news on January 29 with the 31-year-old, who married former Manchester United star Rio in 2019, could be seen in a black and white video, set to Minnie Riperton's Lovin' You, walking away from the camera before she turned around as she beamed for the camera before lovingly placing her hand on her blossoming baby bump as she sported a figure-hugging dress and long-line coat.

Kate, who is stepmother to husband Rio's children Tate, 13, Lorenz, 15, and Tia, 11, captioned the heartwarming post: "We’ve been praying for you…" with the happy news coming several months after the mum-of-one suffered a devastating miscarriage.
