Stepdaughter Tia cuddled up to Kate and her blossoming baby bump in another sweet moment as she wore a white bandage as they relaxed on the bed together.

She wrote, “Had some family time and it was so needed. Precious memories made in a place we love. Feel very grateful.

‘Ps how we managed to keep Cree’s hand sand & water free I’ll never know, but our little soldier still had the best time’.

Kate and the footballer got married in 2019 in an extravagant wedding ceremony in Turkey, after two years of dating.

It comes after the reality star recalled being mistaken for her husband Rio’s late wife Rebecca when she discussed their early relationship.

Kate admitted that she felt “like a side chick” when they first started dating in 2017.

Rebecca Ellison tragically passed away from breast cancer in 2015 at the age of 35, she shared three children with Rio.

On her Blended podcast, Kate and Rio talked about her difficulties when everyone mentioned Rebecca when the footballer talked about his wife.

She explained, “I’m sure, but what used to happen was I dated you, we might have been engaged, but I wasn’t your wife.” So when you talk about your wife, everyone says Rebecca.’

Recalling how a famous person recently called her Rebecca, Kate said she felt “like a side chick” at the beginning of their relationship.

She added, “I kind of felt like being this side woman, I felt like a damn good girl taking care of your three kids.” Everyone said your wife, your wife, your wife.

“Now I’m your wife, I feel very safe and yes, the wedding has changed a lot for me, so I can deal with things like now.”

Elsewhere, Kate revealed that she didn’t realize “what she was stepping into” when she came across his late wife Rebecca’s belongings “all over the place” and his three children “rioted.”

After spending time dating, the couple decided to take the next step and let Kate move into the family home – which was very difficult.

“I never realized what I was getting into until I got to this house. We were in love, going out, dating. I hadn’t really experienced you being a stepmom, your life or the loss you went through,” she said.

“It wasn’t until I got here that I thought “s**t this is going to be hard”.’

Rio told her, “I hadn’t changed anything in the house at that point. Nothing had changed. The fact that I took you into that. I wasn’t thinking about your feelings, maybe I was just in a bubble. I didn’t think about things in the bathroom like shower gel.’

Kate replied, “You hadn’t moved anything, we had this whirlwind romance, it was all beautiful and flowers everywhere and then I stepped into your house.”

“Nothing had been taken from Rebecca, so all her things were in the same place and I just came in.

‘It was really hard. I felt like I was having an out of body experience. My mother thought I had gone a little crazy. I started asking myself, is this really what I think it was? I just didn’t even know if I was letting myself in.”
