Kate Ferdinand, the former TOWIE star, has confirmed that she is expecting her second child. The news comes just a few months after she gave birth to her first child, Cree, with her husband and ex-professional footballer, Rio Ferdinand.
The couple, who tied the knot in September 2019, announced the exciting news on their respective social media accounts with a series of heartwarming photos. In the photos, Kate is seen cradling her baby bump while Rio is seen embracing her from behind. The couple captioned the post, “The crazy gang is getting bigger,” followed by a baby emoji.
Fans and friends of the couple took to the comments section to congratulate them on their happy news. Kate’s close friend and fellow TOWIE star, Danielle Armstrong, wrote, “Congratulations beautiful, so happy for you both.” Similarly, Rio’s former Manchester United teammate, Gary Neville, commented, “Fantastic news, congratulations.”
Kate, who is currently 28 years old, had always been open about her desire to have a big family. In an interview with Hello! Magazine, she had said, “I would love to have a big family. I’ve always wanted to have a big family. I come from a big family, so it’s something that I’ve always wanted.”
The couple’s first child, Cree, was born in December 2020, and the couple has been open about their struggles with infertility. Kate had undergone IVF treatment to conceive Cree, and the couple had been candid about the emotional and physical toll it had taken on them.
Kate has been actively documenting her pregnancy journey on social media, sharing intimate details and photographs of her experiences. She has also been using her platform to raise awareness about infertility and the emotional toll it can take on couples.
In a recent Instagram post, Kate shared a photo of herself in a hospital gown, and captioned it, “I never thought I’d be in this position again so soon. Being pregnant and going through IVF is a whole different kind of emotional rollercoaster.”
The couple has not yet revealed the due date of the baby, but fans are eagerly waiting for more updates and photographs of the growing family. With Kate and Rio’s love and support, there’s no doubt that their second child will be just as loved and cherished as their first.
The news of Kate’s second pregnancy is a cause for celebration for the couple and their fans, who have been following the couple’s journey from the beginning. We wish them all the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy.
