Kate Ferdinand reveals having another baby 'was a worry for everyone in the family' and is 'struggli
Kate Ferdinand has admitted she was ‘worried’ about welcoming another child with husband Rio as it would shift the family dynamic.
The former TOWIE star, 36, welcomed daughter Shae in July and said, five months on, she is struggling with mum guilt and self confidence as the Ferdinand’s find their feet as a family of seven.
Kate is mother to three-year-old son Cree and stepmother to Rio’s children Lorenz, 17, Tate, 15, and Tia, 12. Rio’s late wife Rebecca Ellison sadly passed away from breast cancer in 2015.
In a new interview, the television personality spoke out about Shae’s birth and how they have adapted after initial worry about how a new baby would change the family unit.
‘It’s always a bit of a worry for everyone in the family, even me and Rio. It affects everyone, because a new baby in the house changes the dynamic but like anything in life, everyone just adapts. You get used to it and you find your space,’ Kate told The Mirror.

But Kate admitted she is struggling with feelings of mum guilt and puts pressure on herself to be ‘a great mum, wife, go to the gym, look and feel good’.
She said: ‘How do I spread myself across five children? How do I make sure I’m there for everyone and giving them all quality time?
‘I don’t all the time, obviously, because it’s impossible. I’m struggling with that a lot at the moment. Mum guilt is huge, but I suppose you just have to ride it out because you’re never going to be perfect.’
Kate, who married Rio in 2019, three years after they started dating, says their daughter Shae is a ‘dream’ and ‘the happiest baby’.
The reality star added they aren’t planning on having more children as ‘five is more than enough’ and she’s only ‘just about managing’.
Alongside welcoming Shae, Kate has just launched a new sportswear section with Tesco clothing range F&F.
The reality star who used to go to the gym five times a week, said she is now exercising three times as her ‘priorities had to change’ since becoming a step-mother.
Kate has said she ‘isn’t feeling super confident’ but is going ‘easier on herself’.
The former TOWIE star showed off her incredible figure in a slew of holiday snaps on Instagram this week.

Kate also rocked a crochet fedora hat and sheer white maxi skirt and matching shrug for a walk on down to the beach.
Other family photos showed the reality star cuddling her daughter Shae, cosying up to husband Rio in a white cut out dress and holding hands with Rio’s daughter Tia.
