Kate Ferdinand has revealed her due date as she looks forward to welcoming her daughter with former footballer Rio.
The mum-of-one, 31, told fans she was preparing to give birth in July during an Instagram Q&A.
"'How long before bubba's due?" asked one excited follower to which Kate replied: "Eight weeks to go and the belly is rapidly growing."
Kate has a podcast called Blended in which she regularly discusses being a stepmum to Rio's kids Lorenz, 16, Tate, 14 and Tia, 11.
The ex Manchester United's star's children are from his first marriage with Rebecca Ellison, who tragically died from cancer in 2015.
During another podcast, Kate revealed she and Rio have only just started having their first 'pecks' in front of his kida - six years after getting together.
Explaining the couple used to have a 'no-kissing rule' when they were in front of the children, she told Scummy Mummies: "The romance was pretty dead because there's three kids, they've lost their mum, you're thinking about so much, you just want to get it right.
"I don't feel like I was there constantly, and when I was I was fun. And absolutely no kissing.
"We said this the other day - I said 'we don't really kiss in front of the kids that much'.
"I said 'it's because at the beginning we were so conscious to not do it, to not worry them, or make it uncomfortable, that all of a sudden we've then just continued that'.
"So we've started to have a little peck. We go 'Oh, give us a kiss - Urgh, disgusting'. But it is six years down the line now."
Explaining their children are at the heart of every decision that involves the couple's son Cree, two and their unborn baby, Kate revealed Lorenz, Tate and Tia had a say in their baby's potential name.
She told The Sun : "We had another name for Cree - a unisex one - and we think that might be the baby's name.
"We haven't told anyone, because we don't want people's opinions. But you have to see when they come. What's she going to look like? Is she going to suit it?"
Kate and Rio met in 2017 and tying the knot in a lavish wedding in Turkey in 2019.
The former TOWIE star said she knew the football pundit was 'the one' on their first date because they 'got on so well'.
