Fans have been gushing about Kate Wright and Rio Ferdinand, after the former footballer posted a rare picture of the two on a ‘cheeky night out’.
Kate and Rio have been growing closer and closer together since meeting at the beginning of 2017, but pictures of the pair are still a rare occurrence.
So it’s no wonder fans were thrilled when the dad-of-three took to Instagram to share a snap of them looking very loved up while out for dinner at his Manchester restaurant Rosso.
Alongside the picture, he wrote in the caption: ‘Cheeky night out with this one ❤️ #Rosso’
His 2.6m on Instagram were quick to gush about the lovely couple and send them their well-wishes as the two seem very happy together.
One said: ‘Good luck to you both. Katie has made you smile again 😊 look after each other and the rest will follow 💙❤️’.
A second wrote: ‘I am truly thrilled that you have found someone special 😍😍😍’, while a third added: ‘ How lovely to see them both happy 😍 Gorgeous couple, I love Kate too, always followed her on towie, she’s a gorgeous girl xx’
A fourth also commented: ‘What a beautiful photo of you both @rioferdy5 and @xkatiewright, the smiles on your faces says it all, and @xkatiewright with the few photos we have seen you with the 3 children the love you have for all of them is beautiful, your one very special lady, would like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and an incredible new year as 1 special and beautiful family. All my love to you all xxx💗💕’
Kate recently appeared to have confirmed she has moved in with Rio and his three children, after mentioning ‘our house’ in a social media post.
The couple have been very private about their relationship, only sharing a few snippets on social media.
Back in October, the footballer referred to the former TOWIE star – who quit her showbiz career to focus on her relationship – as ‘family’ in an Instagram post with his children while they were on holiday in Dubai for half-term.
