Kate Ferdinand has shared some adorable snaps of her young son watching her on TV.
The doting mum, 30, appeared on Loose Women on Tuesday, chatting about becoming a step-mother to husband Rio Ferdinand's three children with his late wife Rebecca Ellison.
One viewer tuned in to watch the former TOWIE star on the ITV show was baby Cree, one - who Kate shares with retired footballer Rio.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday night, Kate shared a couple of snaps of her young tot in his nappy, watching on as she appeared on the daytime TV show.
Captioning the adorable images to her 1.4million followers, the fitness fanatic proudly wrote: "'Mama… [love-heart face emoji]."
The star's fans and celebrity pals loved the cute update, with many commenting on the sweet shots.
"Absolutely LUSH," former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison quipped, while This Morning presenter Rochelle Humes wrote: "The best Mama."
TOWIE star Georgia Kousoulou added: "No that’s the cutest thing [love heart eyes emojis]."
Speaking on Loose Women on Tuesday, Kate explained how she was "naive" becoming a step-parent in her husband Rio’s family as her step-children grieved the loss of their mum.
Rebecca Ellison died in 2015, aged 34, after a short battle with breast cancer, tragically leaving Rio with their three children Tate, 13, Lorenz, 15, and Tia, 10.
Kate met former Manchester United star Rio in 2017, with the pair going on to tie the knot in 2019 and welcome baby Cree into the world the following year.
Speaking ahead of the first episode of her new podcast series about blended families, Kate opened up about the reality of joining a family where the children are grieving the loss of a parent.
Kate confessed she was "quite naive" stepping into the situation, adding: "I thought, I’ll be fine."
She said: "I didn’t really take into consideration the dynamics. I’ve learnt that I'm very resilient and to have a big heart can get you very far in life."
Kate set up Blended, an Instagram account and podcast series, as a community for other blended families to realise they are not alone.
The former reality TV star has previously explained how she considers herself a mother of four, as she raises Rio's three children alongside her biological child Cree.
Speaking on social media before Christmas, the stunning star admitted she dreads being asked: "Are they your kids?"
"I have 4 children, if you suggest I have 1, I will correct you," the star wrote on the Blended Instagram account last year.
"If you treat 1 of them different to the other 3 I will also have a big problem, I believe all 4 of the children should be treated equally."
The doting mum added: "If you ask if I am their mum I will say I am their step mum & although they are not biologically mine I still see them as my children; it’s my job to nurture & care for them and make sure they are given all the love the deserve."
