Kate, is currently pregnant with her second child, and is step-mum to husband Rio and his late wife Rebecca Ellison’s children Lorenz, 16, Tate, 14, and Tia, 11.

But it hasn’t always been easy and in the lasted Blended podcast, Rio described how much had changed.

He said:  “I was thinking about how at the beginning it was difficult but now I’m just visualising loads of different scenarios where I might come in and you’re doing Tia’s hair, or she’s not well and she’s cuddling up to you or Tate, cuddling you and making you laugh and you’ve got quite a funny sense of humour, similar together. Or Lorenz, opening up and talking about things, where he wasn’t like that before.

“When you look at like that, a lot of yards have been had and have been done over this time. It’s been good.”

Kate, 31, continued:  “Sometimes I just sit back, even with Cree here now and you watch them all play and us all laughing and being happy and you just think wow can’t believe we are here.

“Because you used to pray for days like this and think, are they ever going to come?

“Is all this worth it? Sometime we would get in bed and say is this worth it? Do we give up?”

Rio jumped in: “Are we going to last?”

As Kate added: “We didn’t give up, that’s the one thing we didn’t do is give up.”

Former footballer Rio mused: “I think if you genuinely, if there’s love there, that overrides it, it’s like those old songs, innit?

“Love does change you though, I was different person before, I can’t go too deep.”

The couple are now expecting a baby girl to add to their brood.
