Kate Ferdinand misses life in London
Kate Ferdinand has confessed to missing some elements of UK life.
Kate Ferdinand is missing life in the UK.
The reality TV star and her husband, former England soccer player Rio Ferdinand, relocated to Dubai in 2025 - but Kate admits that she's already missing life back home.
Kate - who has Cree, five, and Shae, two, with Rio - said on the Blended podcast: "I feel like we've opened our eyes to a different world. But I love London, I love the UK. I love so many things about the UK.
"I do feel happy in Dubai, but I'm just missing a part of me."
By contrast, Rio - who has Lorenz, 19, Tate, 17, and Tia, 13, from his first marriage to his late wife Rebecca - is loving life in the Middle East.
Kate said: "I think it's an amazing place to live, I think it's amazing for the children. The children are thriving and happy and living a life of just outside freedom.
"Rio loves it so much. I am enjoying it, but I miss home quite a lot. I get upset. I miss the big boys a lot and I'm just struggling with that.
"I know this decision is right for my younger children and as a family we are settled there, but the boys are following their football careers. So they're doing what they want to do otherwise they'd be with us.
"But it's very hard because we've been through so much as a family and we've always been together and that's a huge adjustment."
Kate actually wishes that she could combine the best of Dubai and the UK.
The TV star shared: "If I could merge the two worlds together it would be absolutely perfect.
"I think I miss people. I miss the rain. The cold, cool air on your face. I miss the culture of England. Certain types of people and all different types of people.
"That's also something I like about Dubai, that my kids are being brought up with all sorts of cultures."
