Many were delighted to see how happy children Tia, nine, Tate, 12, and Lorenz, 14, were to gain a brother.
Football fan Lorenz commented that the family's new addition could be a Project Mbappe - relentlessly trained to be a top level pro footballer like PSG's Kylian Mbappé.
Rio replied: "Up to you and Tate to train him ! ."
Just days ago Kate showed off her big baby bump as she enjoyed a luxury holiday with Rio.
The former Towie star went on a final luxury break with her husband, 41, and her three stepchildren before her baby is due.
Kate, 29, looked incredible in her bikini standing on the idylic shore.
Her growing bump was on full display and she looked every inch the yummy-mummy-to-be.
Next to her stood a grinning Rio, who showed off his toned torso.
Talking about her husband, Kate wrote next to the Instagram snap: "I love you."
Kate announced she was expecting her first baby with the former top footballer in July.
The couple, who tied the knot last year, shared the heartwarming moment they told his children the good news in a video online.
Since the announcement, Kate has been honest with fans about how the pregnancy was affecting her both physically and mentally.
She opened up about feeling "terrible guilt" because she's been too sick to look after her stepchildren.
Kate also admitted she felt like she was "losing my mind" navigating her first pregnancy.
Last week Rio posted a picture of his children cradling their stepmum's bump.
The beautiful family holiday snap showed the family but also displayed their anticipation over the arrival of their new sibling.
All dressed up on their summer holiday, the kids posed happily with Rio and Kate as two of them had her hands on her baby bump.
