Kate & Rio Ferdinand Announce Gender Of Second Child

Kate and Rio Ferdinand are expecting a baby girl.

The former TOWIE star, 31, who announced she is expecting her second child with the ex footballer, 44, in January, said they are beyond excited to be welcoming a daughter.

Kate married footballer Rio in 2019, already share son Cree, two, together, and she is step-mum to Rio’s three children Lorenz, 16, Tate, 14, and Tia, 11.

The family decided to throw a gender reveal but Rio revealed it all went wrong after Kate ended up choking on a cupcake.

The reality star, who said both parents and Lorenz had guessed the sex correctly before knowing, said: ‘It’s a girl guys – we are so excited we’re having a girl.

‘We both guessed the same. Lorenz guessed that.’

Rio, announcing the news alongside Kate on her Blended podcast, said: ‘I knew it was a girl but I actually wanted a girl. I wanted boys at the beginning. I wanted Cree to be a boy.

‘That’s me, I’m done now, five.’

The couple told how they decided to announce the gender to their family by eating two cupcakes each – one of which had pink in it.
