Kate Wright and Rio Ferdinand’s relationship is definitely hotting up

The Only Way Is Essex beauty and her footballer beau were previously very secretive about their budding romance, but have now decided to let the world know just how loved-up they truly are.
And to top it off, Rio Ferdinand  has shared a rare photo of the duo on date night, looking happier than ever as they posed up a storm for a cute snap together.

Kate Wright was adorned in a pair of thigh-high boots with a waist-clinching dress flaunting her ample assets, while Rio kept it casual in an all-black ensemble and white trainers.

Kate announced in September that she would be quitting showbiz in order to focus on her relationship with the footballer.

In a statement, the former TOWIE star said: "I’m taking a step back from the public eye, I want to keep my life private as I lived my previous relationship on TOWIE, my priority right now is Rio and the family."

The pair have since been rumoured to have taken the next step in their relationship by moving in together after the lease on Kate’s Brentwood flat expired.

A source told The Sun: "She’s all but moved in already – Kate and Rio are inseparable.
"It’s the next natural step for them – after spending so much time together in Dubai, it seems ridiculous that she’d move back to her flat in Essex.

"She already spends a lot of time at Rio’s and keeps a lot of her stuff there too. It’s only a matter of time until they make it official."
