Rio Ferdinand opens up about his experience during a lockdown in Dubai amidst recent missile strikes near his residence. The former Manchester United player, 47, along with his wife Kate, 34, and their children, relocated to the United Arab Emirates last year. They are among several celebrities, including boxer Amir Khan and actress Lindsey Lohan, who have chosen to reside in Dubai.

In the past few days, Dubai has faced attacks from Iran, causing concern for Ferdinand and his family about their safety. Despite the unsettling situation, Ferdinand shared that they are staying active as a family and trying to maintain a sense of normalcy. They have had to explain the situation to their children and ensure their well-being during this challenging time.

While the situation has been frightening, the family has found comfort in their home, with Ferdinand referring to his studio as his refuge. They followed safety protocols and sought shelter in the basement during the initial disturbances. Kate, a former TOWIE star, updated fans on their well-being and expressed gratitude for the support received.

Their older children, Lorenz and Tate, did not accompany them to Dubai as they pursue their football careers in the UK. Despite the tense circumstances, the family remains hopeful for a peaceful resolution and appreciates the outpouring of prayers and support.
