Kate Wright cuddles up to 'her love' Rio Ferdinand on date night
She has been inseparable from his three children ever since meeting the footballer in Dubai at the start of 2017.
But Kate Wright and Rio Ferdinand were enjoying some quality alone time on Wednesday night.
The former TOWIE star shared a picture of 'my love' on Instagram, after the retired football star admitted he was planning to propose to his girlfriend.

Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, Ferdinand revealed: 'We do talk about it [getting engaged and getting married]. But I'm not going to sit here and give you a date.'
Kate made a point of flashing her ring-free finger on Wednesday evening, as she rested her left hand on her toned thigh.
The blonde bombshell wore a tiny tabbard dress with a white top underneath, while he contrasted her look in a black T-shirt.
The sports pundit fell more in love with Kate when he saw how good she was with his three children Lorenz, 11, Tate, nine, and Tia, seven - whom he has with his late wife Rebecca Ellison - and he likes that she has a 'softer touch' with them.

He said recently: 'My relationship with Kate has helped in that they have got a female in the house now. They run past me sometimes to go to her. I've had to go through a period of being very, very open, and men aren't normally like that naturally.
'So having that extra person in the house who is female, who has that softer touch, I think is vitally important for the kids.'
And it seems like the children have adapted well to having Kate around as they now refer to her as their 'step mum' and ask her when she's going to give them a sibling.
Kate discussed the likelihood of having a baby on This Morning earlier this month.

She said: 'It's really funny because at the beginning I could never imagine the kids would talk about it. It started with Tate when I went to the school saying: "Oh that's my aunt who is picking me up" then "that's my dad's girlfriend" and now he says "it's my stepmum.
'And now, I would say on a daily basis they go: "Oh when're you giving us a brother or sister? They ask if we're having a baby yet and I say no!"'
Rio lost his wife Rebecca - the mother of his three children - in 2010 when she lost her battle with breast cancer and he single-handily raised his kids alone until he met Kate.
