The former professional footballer Rio, 40, said that “fate” had brought Kate, 28, into his life as the pair posed for photos in the Turkish sun. On the big day he told us: “I definitely wasn’t looking for someone at that time. I didn’t think it was possible, I wasn’t open to bringing someone in to become a stepmum to the kids. “Things don’t always go the way you imagine. Meeting Kate changed everything and sometimes it’s just fate.” “I knew Kate was special from the moment I met her, it was pretty instant, but seeing her with the kids cemented everything, that was a huge part of it for me.
