Katie and Rio Ferdinand’s young son Cree has been rushed to hospital in an ambulance while on holiday as they admit to having ‘sleepless nights’

Katie and Rio Ferdinand’s young son has been rushed to hospital after a horror accident abroad.

Mum Kate, 33, shared a photo of son Cree in an ambulance as she opened up on the scary ordeal that happened while on holiday. She could be seen kissing the little boy as he lay down on a bed inside the ambulance. Alongside the black and white photo, Kate shared: “We ended a fabulous trip with a broken collar bone. My boy just always gets injured!! It’s been sleepless nights, cuddles, tv & chocolate since.”

Kate and football star Rio married in 2019 and are parents to Cree, three, and Shae, who was born last year. Rio also has children Lorenz, Tate and Tia from his married to Rebecca Ellison, who tragically died in 2015. Kate revealed Cree’s accident happened near the end to their family holiday.

Cree needed emergency care and was taken to the nearest hospital. Kate recently paid a touching homage to her ex-footballer hubby, as they celebrated five years of marriage. She posted an extravagant throwback photo from their lavish Turkish wedding, with the caption: “5 years today, my best friend is Completely obsessed with us.”

The couple exchanged vows at a fairy-tale beachfront ceremony in Marmaris, Turkey, back in 2019, in the presence of their closest friends and family. Reflecting on their nuptials, Rio declared it was ‘fate’ that brought Kate into his life. He told OK! on their special day: “I definitely wasn’t looking for someone at that time.

“I didn’t think it was possible, I wasn’t open to bringing someone in to become a step-mum to the kids. Things don’t always go the way you imagine. Meeting Kate changed everything and sometimes it’s just fate. I knew Kate was special from the moment I met her; it was pretty instant, but seeing her with the kids cemented everything; that was a huge part of it for me.”

Kate has also shared how her stepchildren help her out with Cree and Shae. She revealed the children all adore Shae and help out around the house. She said: “Tia is really helpful. We’re happy we’ve got another girl on side! The boys are out a lot because of football, but they help me out with Cree, so I’m able to look after the baby.”

Kate said goodbye to her reality TV career when she transitioned into step-motherhood. She has confessed that she initially did not understand fully what she had signed up for when she started dating the football legend from Manchester United. During an appearance on Anna Richardson’s It Can’t Just Be Me podcast, she said: “When I think back, I don’t know how we did navigate it and it’s a real big blur.

“I went from being a single, carefree girl to a stepmum-of-three. And these kids have gone through so much, and there’s grief. It’s all a bit of a blur.” Kate acknowledged that going into a situation headfirst can sometimes lead to surprising outcomes. She added: “It’s hard to know what you’re getting into sometimes until you’re actually in it. Until you’re in it, you don’t really realise. I felt a little bit shocked, I didn’t really know how to parent.”
