Rio Ferdinand spotted snoozing in a onesie as Kate announces she’s renamed their dog
RIO Ferdinand has revealed he is quite partial to getting cosy in a onesie, as new wife Kate announces that she's renamed their dog.
The pooch, which the 28-year-old reality star bought with her ex boyfriend Dan Edgar, is now called Ronnie Ferdinand.
Kate got Ronnie with Dan, when they both starred in The Only Way is Essex, and he appeared in several episodes with the former couple.
During their on/off relationship, Dan brought Kate a teddy with his face on it, to give to Ronnie so that "if it all goes t***s up he's going to remember me".
But it seems Kate now wants to rid her life of anything that reminds her of her ex, so has renamed the dog.
Kate celebrated her pup turning four with an Instagram post where she also announced his name change.
"RONNIE IS 4 TODAY", she wrote.
"Anyone that knows me knows how much I love this little pooch ... he’s also had a name change ... his first birthday as Ronnie Ferdinand", she added.
She also posted throwback photos to the day she got him - Dan obviously wasn't in any of them.
The couple are settling into married life well, however, earlier this month Kate revealed how she refused to marry Rio until she had done a gruelling workout to keep her "focused and happy" on her wedding day.
She shared a video of her “wedding morning workout”, which showed her pumping weights and running on a treadmill before she walked down the aisle.
In the video she turns and tells the camera before starting the exercise: “Can’t get married before I get this done”.
She then told her one million Instagram followers in the caption: “Lots of people asking did I train the morning of the wedding .... of course I bloody DID.
“It’s not just about the body it’s about the mind ... going into the best day of my life feeling focused and happy.”
Kate then gave a shout out to her former rugby union player personal trainer Mel Deane.
She said: “Thank you @meldeane12 for the wedding morning workout #itsalifestyle.” [sic]
Kate and Rio tied the knot at the five star hotel D Maris Bay in Marmaris, Turkey in front of family and friends on 27th September.
She looked spectacular in a plunging lace bodice dress that displayed her cleavage and was made in just seven days after her original outfit wasn't made the way she wanted.
More on Kate and Rio
And Rio previously admitted that the water works started when his daughter Tia walked down the aisle first, followed by Kate.
He told: “I cried as soon as the day started. Seeing Tia walk up the aisle before Kate set me off. It was just so emotional."
The sports star went on to say he felt like Kate was "sent to them" and it was "fate" they met after first wife Rebecca Ellison died in May 2015 after a short battle with breast cancer.
