- Kate is step-mum to Rio's sons Lorenz, 13, and Tate, 11, and daughter Tia, eight
- Their mother is the football icon's late wife Rebecca Ellison, who tragically passed away from breast cancer on 2 May 2015, aged 34
- The boys walked Kate halfway down the aisle before her formerly estranged father, electrician Phil, 59, walked her the rest of the way
On Tuesday, Kate Ferdinand was feeling wistful for her stunning Turkey wedding.
The TOWIE star, 28, shared a snap depicting her husband Rio's sons Lorenz, 13, and Tate, 11, who he shares alongside daughter Tia, eight, with late wife Rebecca Ellison, walking her down the aisle during their idyllic nuptials last month.
She added a caption reading: 'There were so many special moments at our wedding ..... but this is one I will never forget #proud #myboys', shortly before Rio shared her post and admitted the moment 'warmed his heart'.
Kate is famously close to Rio's kids, with Tia even serving as her maid-of-honour. Their mum Rebecca sadly passed away from breast cancer on 2 May 2015, aged 34.
She has spoken candidly about assuming the role of stepmother, she said: 'It's crazy. If someone had told me a few years back that I was going to be the stepmum of three children, I would have just laughed. You don't see something like that coming.'
The former reality star admitted that upon meeting the kids, she soon fell in love and that helped solidify her bond with the football ace.
Kate told You Magazine: 'I fell in love with Rio, then I met the kids and fell in love with them 'I realised, 'Wow, my life is going to change'...

Speaking about the moment his boys walked Kate down the aisle, Rio told OK! Magazine: 'I cried as soon as the day started. Seeing Tia walk up the aisle before Kate set me off. It was just so emotional...
'There was just no going back on the emotion, that’s why I had to keep my shades on. Seeing Tate and Lorenz walk Kate down the aisle was particularly poignant and we wouldn’t have wanted to do it any other way...
'They were so proud and they couldn’t wait to do that, they felt important'.
While the boys walked her part way, Kate's formerly estranged father revealed he felt 'proud' when he walked his daughter down the aisle.
Special moment: The happy couple shared a hug with Rio's son Tate
Electrician Phil, 59, gushed about reconnecting with the former TOWIE star, in recent months, just under a year after she admitted she was 'very upset' when she wasn't invited to one of her dad's weddings at the tender age of nine.
Sharing his thoughts on Rio, Kate's father enthused: 'He is great. He seems to have his head screwed on right... it was an amazing wedding and I felt very proud.'
The Essex native - who split from the media personality's mother Jacqueline when she was three - reflected on the scenic ceremony at D Maris Bay hotel in Marmaris: 'There has been a lot of emotion all round, it’s been a mad few days.'
