Kate Wright reveals enormous engagement ring from Rio Ferdinand

Kate Wright has revealed her engagement ring from Rio Ferdinand for the first time – and it’s enormous.

The whopping cushion-cut solitaire diamond is nestled on a platinum band encrusted with further diamonds.

Keen to show off the sparkler she got a bright red manicure as she returned home from Abu Dhabi after announcing their engagement on Thursday.

And the former TOWIE star was met with another surprise as her future step-children held up balloons that read "she said yes" to mark the happy occasion.

"The cutest ever," she wrote, sharing a picture on Instagram.


Returning from the glamorous capital of the United Arab Emirates, Kate initially shared a throwback post from their holiday – but kept her ring finger hidden.

"Back log of holiday piks coming through (sic)," she commented.

Wearing a bright yellow skirt with a frilly white lace top Kate was sure to hide her wedding finger at first.

But she was spotted out with her ring showing in pictures seen by Mirror Online today.


Earlier this week, former Manchester United star Rio proposed in style, going down on one knee on a helipad on the rooftop of the swish St. Regis Hotel in the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

"The perfect end to our holiday… How could the answer not be yes," Kate wrote on Instagram alongside a series of shots showing the romantic scenes.

And the couple looked as cute as ever when they visited the city’s Ferrari World for a day of fun, with Rio wrapping a protective arm around his bride-to-be as they beamed for the camera.


There was no sign of Kate’s ring in the pic – which was the first she’s shared since revealing their happy news.

Meanwhile, it was back to normality for the former TOWIE star when the family arrived back in Blighty last night.

On the plus side, she was reunited with her adorable little dog, Bubba, and thanked fans for the outpouring of well-wishes.



"Feeling overwhelmed… thanks so much everyone for all the lovely messages today," she wrote on Instagram alongside a kiss emoji.

Kate and Rio first started dating in 2017, two years after the death of his wife Rebecca from breast cancer aged just 34.

Kate almost immediately quit reality TV to be a full-time step-mum to his children Lorenz, Tate and Tia, explaining, "I felt like I had two choices. I was in this world that had a lot of drama, it was very public.

"They had lost their mum, they don’t need a woman who is going to be out everywhere. They need someone who’s going to be home with them to give them love."
