Kate Ferdinand previously opened up about her innermost fears when it comes to motherhood, admitting she mightn’t be “able to cope” with having a baby.
The 29-year-old TOWIE star delighted fans yesterday when she announced she was expecting her first baby with husband Rio Ferdinand, 41.
Making the heartwarming announcement, Kate shared a video from the moment the happy couple broke the news to Lorenz, 13, Tate, 11, and nine-year-old Tia – Rio’s children from his marriage to late wife Rebecca.
Thrilled to become a mum, Kate said: “The crazy house is about to get a little bit crazier… every time I watch this it makes me cry, the best reaction. Baby Ferdy we are all so excited to meet you.”

Back in February, the reality star appeared on Giovanna Fletcher’s Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, discussing the prospect of having a baby.
Speaking openly about her concerns when it comes to motherhood, she said: “I’m not going to be able to cope!
“I said to Rio, ‘Say if we have a baby, once they get to five I’m going to great. I know what I’m doing, guys, it’s fine. But that baby stage, I don’t know’.”

Kate revealed she has more experience with older children, rather than babies, having taken to the role of step-mum with open arms.
She recalled: “I said, ‘Rio, I’ve never changed a nappy’. He was like, ‘What?!’ But I haven’t had children and I don’t have brothers and sisters. I haven’t got nieces and nephews.
“He was like, ‘Wow’. I said, ‘Well you can change them because you’ve had three!’ He said, ‘I don’t think so!'”

Kate added: “It’s going to be a big adjustment because I feel like I know the older stage of being a mum but not to a newborn.”
However, the blonde bombshell conceded that another addition to the family could only bring more happiness.
She said: “I think it will bring us all together, tighter, closer as a knit.”
“It excites me but it scares me as well. I feel like… I’ve started going back to do a bit of work and it not taking away from family life.
“It’s all sort of under control and it feels good, so to go to that feeling of madness again, it’s a bit scary.”
Looking to the future, Kate added: “But it’s exciting as well.”
Congratulations to the Ferdinand family!
