Kate Ferdinand bears baby bump in sportswear after tearing stomach muscles

Pregnant Kate Ferdinand was glowing in new set of sportswear ads as she stroked her baby bump.

29-year-old Kate is preparing to welcome her first child with husband Rio Ferdinand, and has told of her determination to keep fit ahead of her due date.

The mum to be stunned in stretchy leggings and a sports bra, displaying her natural beauty with minimal make-up and a smoky expression shot at the camera.

Kate recently opened up about a nasty injury that meant she had to rest up for three weeks.

"I'm surprisingly not feeling too bad the last few weeks," she wrote to a concerned fan after announcing she'd torn stomach muscles.

"I'm tired but have been feeling much better."

And Kate has shared her nerves ahead of welcoming her first - despite already being devoted stepmum to Rio's kids Lorenz, 14, Tate, 12 and Tia, nine.

The three kids can't wait to meet their new baby brother.

Rio's shares the three with late wife Rebecca Ellison, who died in 2015 aged 34 after a battle with breast cancer.

"I'm a bit of a worrier," Kate shared with OK! magazine.

"It's quite a busy household as it is - we've got a lot going on. There's a lot of horse riding, football, everything. So it makes me a little bit nervous, having a baby, how he's going to fit in."

And the couple have kept tight-lipped about possible names for their tot, Kate dishing that they'll wait to see what their son looks like and give him a name based on what suits him.

"We have a couple of potentials," she revealed, "But we're just waiting to see what he looks like when he comes out and if he suits them."

Kate was recently forced to confront an online troll who attacked her for referring to the kids as her "family."

Despite most of the comments being hugely positive, one troll thought they'd have a jab.

Kate branded the troll "narrow-minded" and wrote: "Please think before you speak, are all foster & adopted children family less?! Of course not. Family is about love and choosing to be there for one another.

"We are family by CHOICE it's so sad you don't understand, let's hope you never have to go through such heartache to get it."
