Kate Ferdinand recently showcased her physique in a pink Burberry bikini while vacationing with her husband, former professional footballer Rio Ferdinand, in Ibiza. The couple documented their time at O Beach, Ibiza, on Instagram, where they were seen enjoying a day at the club.
Ferdinand, 35, shared photos of herself in a skimpy two-piece and a matching sarong, accessorized with tinted sunglasses and a gold pendant. Rio Ferdinand, 47, was seen wearing a white vest and posed for a photo with Afrobeat artist Burna Boy, who was also performing at the venue.
Earlier in their getaway, the couple also attended an Ibiza club, where Kate wore shimmering semi-sheer trousers and a brown crop top. The vacation comes after Ferdinand addressed public perceptions of her relationship with Rio, including accusations that she married him for his wealth. Rio Ferdinand has an estimated net worth of £57 million.
During a live chat, Ferdinand stated, "People think I'm a gold digger, I'm with him for money. I'm basically his nanny that he doesn't pay." She added that she felt secure enough in her marriage not to be affected by such claims, asserting, "I always say if I wanted to pick a rich man I could have picked a lot easier one without all the kids. If it was just a money thing, it's true though." She emphasized her presence in the relationship is due to love, acknowledging both the positive and challenging aspects of their union.
Rio Ferdinand also discussed the complexities of their family life. He co-parents Tate, 18, Lorenz, 19, and Tia, 15, with Kate, and they also have two younger children, Shae, two, and Cree, five. Kate Ferdinand became a stepmother at age 25 when she began dating Rio in 2016, two years after his first wife, Rebecca, died of breast cancer. The couple married in 2019.
Rio Ferdinand reflected on the transition from his wife Rebecca's death to forming a blended family with Kate, describing it as a period of significant adaptation. He noted the importance of allowing Kate the space to parent, stating, "When you've got kids and someone new is coming in, you have to give them the space to parent and trust them but set the boundaries too." He acknowledged that while their relationship has brought challenges, he believes it has also brought good into their lives, and he appreciates the stress it has imposed on Kate.
