Kate Ferdinand teared up at the sight of the little daughter Shae learning to take her first steps in a new video shared with her fans.

The doting mother and wife of Rio Ferdinand, couldn’t stop gushing over the tiny one, who is just 11 months.

The former TOWIE star, 38, shared a heart-warming Instagram clip captioning: ‘My baby is on the move.’

The TV personality displayed a radiant smile, proudly helping little Shae to learn her first steps.

But Rio was not impressed with something he spotted in the video, taking to the comments section to playfully tell Kate off. 

Rio, 45, wrote: ‘Please please please can u clean up your footwear in the cupboard before u film ffs’, leaving fans in stitches. 

Their followers were touched by the sweet clip of Shae and wrote: ‘Better footwork than Rio back in the day! Go on lil babaaaaa’; ‘The happiness in your voice is everything x’; 

‘Precious moments, and I LOVE her romper’; ‘So emotional when they take there first steps’; ‘She’s so tall’.

Just earlier last week, Kate and Rio shared an insight into their son Lorenz’s lavish 18th birthday party on Instagram.

The former England footballer and ex TOWIE star looked happier than ever as they hit the dance floor during the boozy bash. 

Lorenz was treated to personalised cocktails during the evening as he celebrated with friends and family. 

Guests were seen posing with the birthday boy against a personalised backdrop for a photographer.

Kate looked incredible for the special occasion in a strapless white top which boasted white bows down the front. 

The former reality star added a black satin skirt under the number and elevated her toned frame in a pair of heels. 

She was all smiles as she danced with husband Rio and was also seen taking selfies in a photo booth. 

Rio cut a dapper figure in an all black outfit as he was seen in another clip dancing around the venue solo. 

Kate couldn’t contain her smile as she danced with son Cree who rocked a pair of red ear defenders. 

The venue, which was lined in black with glittering lights and disco balls, featured a huge light up 18 and a DJ and checkered dance floor.

Bartenders were also seen showing off their personalised T-shirts which read Lorenz turns 18 across the front. 

The couple – who tied the knot in September 2019 – are proud parents of son Cree, three, and daughter Shae, who they welcomed last July. 

Kate is step-mum to Rio’s children Lorenz, Tate, 15, and Tia, 13, who he shared with first wife Rebecca Ellison who tragically passed away in 2015 after a short battle with breast cancer.

The party comes after Kate showed off her strong bond with stepson Lorenz as she commended him on his achievements.

Lorenz is following in his footballer father Rio’s footsteps and closed off his season with Brighton FC under 18s with an awards night. 

Kate went along to see the teenager, who signed as the Seagull’s U18s goalkeeper in 2022, scoop a gong, before he moves back into the family home over summer. 

She wrote: ‘And just that the season is over. Such a proud moment watching you get your award last night. It’s been a joy to watch you grow and I feel so lucky to be on this journey with you.

‘I love you so much and we are all so happy to have you home for the summer before the hard work continues.’

Last month, Rio’s eldest son signed with New Era Global Sports Management, joining his dad and uncle Anton at the agency.

He signed with Brighton as their Under-18s goalkeeper in 2022 and has made 18 appearances for the Seagulls’ junior squad this term.

New Era’s current Premier League clients include Everton defenders Ben Godfrey and Michael Keane as well as Jacob Murphy.

In addition to current stars, the agency also represents the interests of Ferdinand, Mick McCarthy, Harry Redknapp and Robbie Savage.
