Kate Ferdinand reveals she’s expecting second child with husband Rio

KATE Ferdinand has revealed that she and her husband Rio are expecting their second child together.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star took to her Instagram to confirm the news on Sunday morning.

Kate, 31, married footballer Rio, 44, in 2019 – and the pair already share young son Cree, two.

Now, the star is expecting her second baby, showing off her baby bump in a sweet video posted to Instagram.

Kate – who is also step-mum to Rio's three children Lorenz, 16, Tate, 14, and Tia, 11 – was glowing as she revealed her blossoming belly.

She could be seen walking away from the camera before turning, and pulling her coat away to reveal her bump.

Looking chic, Kate wore a long black dress, which she paired with knee-high boots and a designer bag over her shoulder.

The expectant mum pulled her blonde locks back into a neat up-do, as she glammed up with make-up.

"We've been praying for you," Kate captioned the post, as her fans rushed to congratulate her.

Among them were her former Towie co-stars, including Georgia Kousoulou who wrote: "So, so happy for you."

Lauren Pope chimed in: "Omg, amazing news," while Saffron Lempriere simply gushed: "Beautiful."

Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison penned: "Omg babe! Congratulations!" while Love Island's Monata Brown added; "Stop! This is amazing! Congratulations!"

It comes after Kate revealed she suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage last year, leaving her "devastated".

Kate, who welcomed baby son Cree with Rio in 2020, posted a black and white snap of herself in a hospital gown.

She revealed she had suffered a "devastating" miscarriage with her second child in an emotional caption to her Instagram following.

"So much to say, but somehow I can’t find the words. Absolutely devastated and heartbroken."

"Couldn’t be more grateful for the hugs I got from my big(er) babies [Lorenz, Tate and Tia] coming through the door when we arrived home," she concluded.
