Kate Ferdinand says she broke down in tears after her husband Rio failed to buy her a card on her first Mother's Day with his family. Kate, who is expecting her second child with Manchester United legend Rio, told in a candid podcast joined by her husband that she was upset to not receive the token of appreciation for her role looking after his kids.
Kate became a doting step-mum to his children Lorenz, 16, Tate, 14, and Tia, 11, after the couple got together in 2017. Rio, 44, had tragically lost his first wife Rebecca Ellison to breast cancer in May 2015 at the age of 34 and in July 2017 Janice St Fort, 58, passed away after battling cancer.
Speaking on her podcast Blended, a celebration of blended families, Kate, 31, recalled how she'd 'sobbed her heart out' as she opened up about her past feelings on Mother's Day. Kate, who has a two-year-old son Cree with Rio, said: "I wasn't a biological mum. I think it was our first Mother's Day - maybe I'd been living here about six months, something like that.
