RIO Ferdinand looks like he is getting a kick out of cupping wife Kate’s blossoming baby bump with his hand.
The pair posed as former England footie ace Rio, 44, was inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame in London.
Ex-Towie star Kate, 31, expecting a sister for their little boy, is also stepmum to Rio’s three children with late first wife Rebecca.
The former centre-back – who also represented West Ham, Leeds United and QPR in his career – was selected after a vote by fans across the world from a 15 person shortlist.
Ferdinand became the 17th player to join the Hall of Fame after eight legendary stars were inducted in both 2021 and 2022.
He joins Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger in the ‘Class of 2023’, with the two Premier League icons the first managers to be inducted.
