Kate Ferdinand has revealed the gender of her and her husband Rio’s baby after a failed gender reveal party.
After a sad miscarriage in July of last year, the couple announced their pregnancy early this year.
Kate, 31, has a two-year-old boy Cree with her footballer husband, Rio Ferdinand, 44, whom she married in 2019.
Rio’s stepchildren are Tate, 16, Lorenz, 14, and Tia, 11, whom he shares with his late wife, Rebecca Ellison, who died in 2015.
But, the former Towie star sat down with her footballer husband to discuss about how they told their four children about the news, with Rio revealing the reveal party was ‘bedlam’.
Kate remembered how the couple intended to disclose the sex of their unborn baby to their loved ones with cupcakes on a special edition of her podcast Blended.
The interior colour of the delicious goodies was supposed to indicate the child’s gender, but things didn’t go as planned for the couple.
‘We all sat down, cameras ready to film it for memories, and then we all take a bite of the first six cupcakes and no one of them has the colour,’ Rio said.
‘So it’s pink or blue, for girl or boy, and we’re all shouting and because everyone is shouting so loud, Cree in the middle just starts hysterically crying,’ he adds.
Kate revealed that the celebrations were cut short because it was past Cree’s bedtime.
Rio recalled how he soothed his children before it was disclosed that the pair is expecting a daughter later this year.
After biting into the unique cake, Lorenz announced the happy news.
‘Cree went to bite [the cupcakes] before we were all ready because he was so excited,’ Rio recealled.
‘Tate started yelling “no, no no” at him and frightened the life out of him so he started crying and Lorenz ends up getting the pink cupcakes.’
Rio also poked fun at his wife for ‘trying to take the spotlight’ when she ‘choked’ on a cupcake.
‘I was so excited it was a girl I hadn’t swallowed the bit of cake but then Cree started screaming, so I went over to see him and then the cake got stuck in my throat!’ She explained.
