Stepdaughter Tia got closer to Kate and her blooming baby bump in another sweet snap as they wore white dressing while relaxing on the bed together.
She wrote: ‘I spent time with the family and it was so much needed. Precious memories created in a place we love. To feel very grateful.
“Ps how we managed to keep the sand and water free from the hands of the Cree, I’ll never know, but our little soldier still had the best time.”
Kate and the footballer tied the knot in an extravagant wedding ceremony in Turkey in 2019, after two years of dating.
It comes after the reality star recalled being mistaken for her husband Rio’s late wife, Rebecca, while discussing their first relationship.
Kate admitted she “felt like a chick” when they started dating in 2017.
Rebecca Ellison tragically died of breast cancer in 2015 aged 35, she shared three children with Rio.
Speaking on her Blended podcast, Kate and Rio opened up about her struggles when everyone mentioned Rebecca when the footballer talked about his wife.

She explained: ‘I’m safe but what was happening was I was dating you, we might have been engaged but I wasn’t your wife. So whenever you talk about your wife, everyone would say Rebecca.
Recalling how a famous person called her Rebecca recently, Kate said she “felt like a side girl” at the start of their relationship.
She added: “I kind of felt like that woman on the side, I felt like a damn good chick taking care of your three kids.” Everyone said your wife, your wife, your wife.
“Now I’m your wife, I feel very secure and yes, marriage has changed a lot for me, so I can handle things like now.”
Elsewhere, Kate revealed she didn’t realize ‘what she was stepping into’ as she encountered her late wife Rebecca’s belongings ‘everywhere’ and her three children ‘revolted’.
After spending time courting, the couple decided to take the next step and have Kate move into the family home – which was very difficult.
“I never realized what I was stepping into until I came to this house. We were in love, dating, dating. I hadn’t really experienced being a mother-in-law, your life or the loss you had suffered,’ she said.
“It wasn’t until I got here that I thought ‘shit, this is going to be tough’.

Rio told him: ‘I hadn’t changed anything in the house at that time. Nothing had changed. The fact that I brought you in there. Maybe I didn’t think about your feelings, I was just in a bubble. I didn’t think of things in the bathroom like shower gel.
Kate replied: ‘You didn’t move anything, we had this whirlwind romance, everything was lovely and flowers everywhere, and then I walked into your house.
“Nothing had been taken away from Rebecca so all her stuff was in one place and I was just stepping in.
‘It was really, really difficult. I felt like I was having an out of body experience. My mother thought I had lost my mind a bit. I started wondering, is this really what I think it was? I didn’t even know if I was letting myself go.
