Kate Ferdinand shared a cryptic 'crying and drowning' post on social media yesterday (March 19) - Mother's Day - not long after recalling the heartbreak she felt when husband Rio and his children once failed to get her a Mother's Day card. Taking to her Instagram Story, she uploaded a post that simply read: "Cry, let that water go. You were drowning."
Kate and Rio married back in August of 2020, a few years after his first wife, Rebecca Ellison, sadly died of breast cancer in 2015. Rio and Rebecca had three children together, the Mirror reports.
Following Rebecca's passing, Kate soon became a step mum to now 11-year-old Tia, 16-year-old Lorenz and 14-year-old Tate. However, when it came to Kate's first Mother's Day after taking up the new parental role, she revealed on a recent episode of her Blended podcast that she was left "sobbing" after her new family failed to offer a token of appreciation.
