Rio Ferdinand flashes his abs after former footballer is spotted leaving Kate Wright’s Essex home
RIO Ferdinand showed off his ripped torso as he enjoyed a romantic weekend at girlfriend Kate Wright's Essex pad.
The loved-up couple have been trying to keep their blossoming romance secret but it seems things are getting more serious.
In just a pair of oversized grey shorts, Rio proved that he's not lost his athletic figure since retiring from professional football in 2015.
It would seem that Kate isn't Rio's only new love as he was later seen trying to make a swift Essex exit in a sparkling blue Aston Martin.
Rio was spotted leaving Kate's Essex pad and making his way to his swanky motor. Clutching a bundle of clothes and a healthy snack, the football legend was keeping it casual.
