Kate Ferdinand says she was 'naive' becoming step-mum after Rio's family's 'deep loss'

Kate Ferdinand has detailed how she was “naive” becoming a step-parent in her husband Rio Ferdinand ’s family as her step-children grieved the loss of their mum.

Rebecca Ellison died in 2015, aged 34, after a short battle with breast cancer, tragically leaving Rio with their three children Tate, 13, Lorenz, 15, and Tia, 10.

The former TOWIE star, 30, met her 43-year-old former footballer husband in 2017 and has since welcomed son Cree during the coronavirus lockdown.
