Kate Ferdinand, the spouse of ex-footballer Rio Ferdinand, has spoken up following the alarming air strikes in Dubai. The couple, who have been married for six years, relocated to the country with their children last year to pursue their aspirations. Alongside other celebrity families, the Ferdinands had been enjoying the luxuries Dubai offers, which has become a hotspot for influencers.
However, the tranquility was disrupted when the country faced air strikes over the weekend in response to an attack launched by Israel and the US on Iran. In retaliation, Iran targeted various nations, including Israel, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and the UAE.
Kate took to Instagram to address her followers, expressing gratitude for their support and apologizing for her initial silence. She reassured everyone that her family was safe, mentioning that they had taken shelter in the basement of their home for safety.
Acknowledging the frightening experience on Saturday night, Kate shared that she hoped for a more peaceful evening ahead. Despite the nerves, she felt confident in the government’s efforts to ensure their safety. She also mentioned her children’s excitement over the impromptu basement ‘sleepover.’
Several other stars residing in Dubai have also been updating their followers about the ongoing situation. Love Island alum Laura Anderson confirmed her and her daughter’s safety amidst the chaos, while The Apprentice star Luisa Zissman revealed her kids had also sought refuge in the basement during the attacks.
Meanwhile, Katie Price’s husband, a long-time Dubai resident, shared a post on Instagram downplaying the fear, highlighting the residents’ pride in their chosen home despite the media’s alarming reports about the missile interceptions.
The incidents in Dubai have prompted a wave of concern and support from the public, with many celebrities sharing their experiences and reassurances on social media platforms.
