| Updated:

Kate and Rio Ferdinand have revealed the gender of their unborn baby.

The 31 year old is currently expecting her second child with hubby Rio – and is due to give birth later this year.

Kate and Rio tied the knot in 2019 and already share son Cree, two, together, with Kate also being a step-mum Rio’s three children – Lorenz, 16, Tate, 14, and 11-year-old Tia.

And now the happy couple have shared they’re having a little girl.

Kate and Rio Ferdinand ‘excited’ about new baby

The couple announced the happy news on her Blended podcast, where they revealed their gender party didn’t exactly go to plan.

I knew it was a girl but I actually wanted a girl.

“It’s a girl guys – we are so excited we’re having a girl. We both guessed the same. Lorenz guessed that,” Kate said.

Rio then added: “I knew it was a girl but I actually wanted a girl. I wanted boys at the beginning. I wanted Cree to be a boy.

“That’s me, I’m done now, five.”

Kate recalls mayhem gender reveal party

Pregnant Kate then recalled the disastrous gender reveal party, revealing: “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.

“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.”

After the first few cakes were proven to be unsuccessful, Rio’s son Lorenz eventually picked the special cake to find that it was pink inside.

Kate said: “Tate and Tia think Lorenz is the favourite. So I proved to them it was not a fix – they all picked their own cake.”

Kate and Rio on podcast

Meanwhile, during the podcast, Rio and Kate revealed they had had “heated” arguments during both her pregnancies.

Rio said: “Because I’ve had three kids before and we’ve had Cree together she still gets the hump – you find it hard to believe that I can be as happy because it’s number five. We’ve had heated (debate) – there were tears.

“Does everyone else’s Mrs when they have a baby or when they’re pregnant – just the hormones are always, the go too. You’ve been much better than last time.”

Kate then added: “When I was pregnant with Cree I was a bit cuckoo and I was so excited – I felt like you just did not care. When there was no bump there was no baby in your eyes for at least three to four months.

“Then I just started getting really emotional thinking, ‘he doesn’t care, it’s his fourth child’. You said you cared, I thought you didn’t. We had a moment like this again the other night.'”
