Kate Ferdinand's fans convinced of baby's gender after her sweet bump snap 💕
It's her first with hubby Rio!
Kate Ferdinand's fans have been delighted to see photos of her baby bump appear on her social media feeds ever since she announced she was pregnant back in June with the cutest baby announcement EVER.
Kate, who has been married to footballer Rio Ferdinand since September 2019, shared a video on her Instagram profile of herself and Rio telling his three children - Tate, Lorenz and Tia - that there would be a new addition to their family... And it's SO heartwarming.
Since then, Kate has been sharing beautiful photos of herself with her baby bump in full view - and her most recent snap has set tongues wagging among her fans as they're pretty sure they've worked out the gender of the baby.
Sharing a snap of herself sunbathing, Kate shared a gorgeous photo of herself in a bikini, showing off her baby bump in a snap that was taken by her step-daughter, Tia. She wrote, 'Back home from a last minute break .... in our favourite place 🧡 we really have had the best holiday 🥰🙏🏻 photo credit: Tia 👸🏼 (I promised her I would give her credit🤣🥰❤️).'
Due to an old wives tale, Kate followers think she could be having a girl, because of where her bump is sitting. One wrote in the comments, 'Looks like u r having a girl💗💗💗,' as another added, 'You definitely have a girl bump! Enjoy every moment x.'
Although it's possible that Kate and Rio don't know what they're having, Kate's previous snap from two weeks ago showed her cradling her bump on her way out, with the caption, 'Girls day yesterday 🤗🥰❤️.' Could she have been including her baby in that? Only time will tell!
