RIO and Kate: Becoming a Stepfamily is set to give viewers a rare insight into their life with their children.
The BBC is set to broadcast a documentary which will give viewers an exclusive access to their homelife since Kate joined the family.
The documentary will air TOMORROW (February 9, 2020).
You can watch it on BBC One at 9pm.
The show is a one off and lasts an hour.
After it has aired you can watch it on the BBC iPlayer.
The documentary will look at the Ferdinand family as Rio’s fiancée (and now wife) Kate Wright integrates into the family and becomes a step mum to Rio’s three children, Lorenz, Tate and Tia.
This is the next stage in the families journey following the Bafta award-winning and critically-acclaimed documentary, Rio Ferdinand: Being Mum And Dad.
In the months leading up to their wedding, this deeply personal film will look at the emotionally complicated dilemmas this newly formed family unit face following Rio’s wife Rebecca’s passing in 2015.
For 27 year old Kate, taking on not only the role as girlfriend and fiancée to Rio, but also of ‘mum’ to three grieving children, and with the memory of Rebecca still very much present, a unique set of emotionally complicated challenges emerge.
Speaking to the BBC, the jointly said: “The positive response to Being Mum And Dad in 2017 and the way it helped others going through a similar situation was overwhelming.
“For that reason we were both compelled to tell the next chapter in our lives together.
“We hope Becoming A Step Family will give a unique insight into step families and the journey through grief, whilst also providing an intimate look at our lives together.”
