Rio Ferdinand<\/a> has stepped in to defend his wife Kate<\/a> after she was criticised for sharing holiday pictures that featured her in a bikini.<\/p>\n

The TV personality and influencer<\/a> shared a carousel of photos from recent family time abroad on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

\u2018July has been full of memories (& food) in our home from home,\u2019 she captioned the post, which included pictures of her and her husband holding hands outside a front door, a spread of tasty-looking food, time hanging out on the beach together and the family jumping into the pool together.<\/p>\n

Naturally for someone enjoying a holiday abroad in the sun, Kate was seen in swimwear \u2013 and her choices were olive green and black bikinis.<\/p>\n

Among pictures and videos Kate had shared playing with her kids, she\u2019d also shared a happy selfie, wearing orange-tinted sunglasses, from a towel lying out on the grass in the shade.<\/p>\n

In another picture, she\u2019d snapped a classic bathroom selfie while in her black bikini, her hair wet from swimming.<\/p>\n

\u2018Don\u2019t think you need to show in a bikini [sic.],\u2019 observed Brenda Weaver in the comments section.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear which photo had offended her, but Rio was having none of it.<\/p>\n

Within minutes of her posting the remark, Rio had responded: \u2018@brendaweav1 ffs Brenda have a day off \ud83d\ude18\u2019<\/p>\n

Softening the retort with an emoji but not mincing his words earned both Rio and Kate an avalanche of support with the former footballer\u2019s comment garnering 1,247 likes alone.<\/p>\n

\u2018Why not? She looks sensational \ud83d\ude0d xx,\u2019 added @kellyannw1980.<\/p>\n

\u2018@rioferdy5 \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 Tell dem,\u2019 responded @may_yomi10.<\/p>\n

The 46-year-old pundit and ex-England captain and his wife, 34, share five kids together.<\/p>\n

Son Cree came along in December 2020, while daughter Shae turned two<\/a> just days ago. Kate is also step-mum to Rio\u2019s teenage kids Lorenz, 19<\/a>, Tate, 16 and 14-year-old Tia, whom he had with late wife Rebecca Ellison.<\/p>\n

Rebecca tragically died of breast cancer in May 2025, aged just 34.<\/p>\n

Kate demonstrated her sweet relationship with the teenagers after Tate left two hearts in the comments of her post.<\/p>\n

\u2018Omg! You commented on my picture. Must be my lucky day!! \ud83e\udd23,\u2019 she responded to the footballer with Brighton & Hove Albion FC\u2019s U18 team.<\/p>\n

It’s been rumoured the family might be eyeing a move to the Middle East (Picture: Instagram\/@xkateferdinand)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She had also previously shared a snap of her taking a photo of Tia in a summery outfit outdoors \u2013 with her face covered by a yellow heart emoji \u2013 on her Instagram Stories, joking: \u2018Hey, I\u2019m Kate, Tia\u2019s personal photographer.\u2019<\/p>\n

In April it was reported that Rio and Kate are eyeing up a move to Dubai \u2013 which was likely where they were spending their down time in July.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s where the couple first met<\/a> while Kate was on holiday in 2016, being introduced through a mutual friend, before they got together in 2017 and married in Turkey in September 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Sun<\/a> reported that they were \u2018seriously considering being based out in the Gulf\u2019 and had already started looking at possible homes and schools.<\/p>\n

\u2018They love the lifestyle and sunny weather and have lots of friends out there. It’s a very safe place for families and offers a healthy lifestyle, which suits them well,\u2019 a source told the publication.<\/p>\n

\u2018It holds a special place in their hearts as that’s where they met and both could easily travel back and forth for their work commitments in the UK.\u2019<\/p>\n
