Kate Ferdinand has revealed she was left in tears when she didn't receive a Mother's Day card from her husband Rio Ferdinand and his three children after first moving in with them.

The former The Only Way is Essex star, 31, opened up about Mother's Day on her podcast Blended, with ex-footballer Rio, 44, joining her as a guest on the latest episode.The couple, who tied the knot 2019 and share son Cree, two, spoke about Kate being a step-mum to Rio's three children, Lorenz, 16, Tate 14, and Tia, 11, from his marriage to Rebecca Ellison, who tragically passed away after a brief battle with cancer in 2015.

Kate, who is currently pregnant with her and Rio's second baby, admitted she "sobbed" her "heart out" when she didn't receive a Mother's Day card from Rio and his three children, after moving in with them and taking "on the mum role." She recalled: "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. And although I wasn't a biological mum I kind of felt like I'd taken on the mum role." The TOWIE star recalled how moving into Rio's home and "taking the kids to school" and "cooking them dinner" had begun to make her feel "like a mum".
