Kate and her retired soccer player husband Rio, 44, are already parents to 2-year-old son Cree. Ferdinand is also stepmom to Rio's kids Lorenz, 16, Tate, 14, and Tia, 12, who he shares with late wife Rebecca Ellison.

The former reality star has kept her followers updated throughout her second pregnancy. In June, Ferdinand shared a photo of herself holding her new children's book. "Can't believe it, my first ever kids picture book The Family Tree 🌳✨ is out today 🥹❤️."

"I feel so grateful I've been able to create this book, I hope you enjoy the magic of this story with your little ones & it also helps start conversations that may be difficult within blended families."

"Not all step mums are wicked & I really hope we can start to change the narrative by having positive stories from childhood."

"& thank you again @emmarandall_uk for the beautiful illustrations," she concluded. "I wanted everyone to be seen within the book & the characters to be diverse as well as looking a little like our family & you just got it all spot on ✏️."

In May, the proud wife shared a photo of herself and husband Rio after he was inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame in England. Kate wore an all-black, skin-tight gown, and her husband cradled her bump with one hand. "A very proud moment for our family last night celebrating Rio being inducted into the Hall of Fame 🥹🥇."

"You never fail to amaze us all, you really are the best example to our children & family. Simply the best. Love you 🌟," she wrote.
