‘I knew it was a girl but I actually wanted a girl’

Kate, 32, announced the happy news their family would be growing further on Insta in January. And in March the couple shared on Kate’s Blended podcast that it would be a little girl on the way.

At the time, Rio indicated to listeners he was “done” with any more children being added to their brood.

The former Manchester United and Leeds United star said: “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.”
