Rio Ferdinand gushes over Kate Wright’s special bond with his daughter

Rio Ferdinand has paid tribute to Kate Wright for taking his daughter, Tia, under her wing in the absence of her mother.

The football veteran – who lost his wife, Rebecca Ellison, to cancer back in 2018 – thanked his new partner Kate for making his ‘heart pump’ for being so brilliant with their children.

In a sweet Instagram post about his ‘girls,’ he wrote: ‘Makes my [heart] pump even stronger when I see these 2 (@xkatiewright & tia) out and about together on girls days out.’

Rio has three children – Lorenz, 12, Tate, 10, and Tia, eight – with Rebecca and since joining their family, Kate, has made it her mission to make sure their mother’s memory is never lost.

She even quit TOWIE – the show responsible for making her famous – to live a more private life with Rio and the children.
