'They ask every day'
Kate Wright says Rio Ferdinand’s kids beg them to have a baby as she reveals they have a special room at home for his late wife Rebecca
KATE Wright has revealed her boyfriend Rio Ferdinand's three children are begging her to have a baby with the football legend.
The former Towie party girl, 26, gave up her career to become a stay-at-home step-mum to Lorenz, Tate and Tia after falling in love with Rio.

Appearing on This Morning today wearing a polka dot dress, Kate said her three step-kids ask her every day if she'll give them another brother or sister.
She said: "At the beginning I could never imagine the kids would talk about [the future with me].
"When I'd pick them up from school they'd say I was an aunt, then it turned to their dad's girlfriend and now they say I'm their step-mum.
"On a daily basis they'll ask 'when are you giving us a baby brother or sister?' I have to say 'not yet'."

"They'll say 'when do you want to get married, we want to be bridesmaids'.
"It's really lovely how far we've come. They're leading the conversation every day.
"Every day they'll say 'dad, are you going to do it yet?'
"Rio's like oh god, I've got three kids and Kate, and thinking when are we going to do it."

The ex-reality TV star told Phil and Holly she will never replace their mum, Rebecca, who died after a battle with breast cancer on May 2 2015, aged just 34.
Instead, she makes sure the kids feel like they can talk about it whenever they want - and they even have a whole room dedicated to her.
Kate said: "Rebecca is their mum. You only have one and she is irreplaceable.

"We have a special room in the house which is filled with photos of their mum and nan, with a computer and bean bags.
"It's a place they can go in to do their homework or just sit and talk about them.
"We celebrate all the occasions together, so we go to the cemetery together."

The children have played an important part in their relationship from the start.
Kate said Rio asked his kids' permission to ask her out on a date.
They were even there when Rio asked her to be his girlfriend over a fry up.
Kate said on This Morning: "We keep them involved in everything. It's important because they know I wasn't taking their dad away from them."
The Sun exclusively revealed Kate was quitting Towie to become a full-time mum to Rio's brood.
Since then she has undergone an incredible transformation from reality star babe to WAG after swapping plunging swimsuits for below-the-knee skirts.

Talking about giving up her career for Rio, Kate said: "When I did that everyone thought I was crazy.
"But they had lost their mum, they didn't need a woman who was out everywhere. They need someone at home to give them love."
She has even set rules for discipline including banning them from using their mobile phone - and even threatening to record their behaviour and send it to Rio.
