Kate Ferdinand celebrated her 35th birthday on a yacht in Portugal with her husband Rio and their children. The former TOWIE star shared joyful photos from the trip on Instagram with the caption “A birthday to remember.”

Kate looked stunning in a bright yellow bikini for her special day, while Rio showcased his fit physique in black swim shorts. The family enjoyed activities like paddle boarding, sunbathing, and a leisurely lunch on the water, joined by their friend Danielle Forbes.

Rio’s son Tate recently opened up about the challenges he faced in accepting Kate as his stepmother on her Blended podcast. Rio, who tragically lost his first wife Rebecca to breast cancer in 2015, remarried Kate in 2019, and they now have two children together, Cree and Shae.

Tate candidly expressed his initial struggles with Kate’s presence in their family home, feeling conflicted between excitement and resentment. He likened his view of Kate to that of an aunt rather than a mother, highlighting the complexities of blended family dynamics.

Both Tate and Rio expressed reservations about the idea of becoming step-parents in the future, emphasizing the importance of supporting loved ones while acknowledging the challenges that come with blended families.
