Kate Ferdinand has made a heartbreaking confession about her husband Rio Ferdinand's teenage children. TOWIE star Kate and football star Rio married in 2019 and are parents to Cree, three, and Shae, who was born last year. Rio also has children Lorenz, Tate and Tia from his married to Rebecca Ellison, who tragically died in 2015. The former reality TV star previously confessed that she initially did not understand fully what she had signed up for when she started dating the Manchester United legend.
In a new interview, Kate has reflected on feeling misunderstood by Rio's teenage children after she gave birth. She admitted: "I was snappy. There's a few phases. I think when you're with just your husband and you've got the young kids, your husband knows kind of what goes on around birth, and that you're going to have these crazy emotions and just let her get on with it.
"Teenage kids don't really, they haven't experienced that yet, have they? And I just felt like no one cared about me and no one loved me. And I just remember coming downstairs. I got a vivid thing of them all sitting on the sofa. They're all sitting on the sofa, and I'm like, 'none of you love me'. And they were like... Just, you know, like teenagers.
"And I'm like, 'you don't care about me. You don't love me. None of you want to see me upstairs'. I was just going on one and they were just looking at me like, 'is Kate okay?' It's like more judgment." She added to Giovanna Fletcher on her Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast: "You have like four people judging you now rather than one. But I think for them as well, it's a lot for them to take in. Like Kate's had a baby and she's gone cuckoo up there.".
