After a romantic summer away in Dubai and Portugal, loved up Kate Wright and Rio Ferdinand are back home, and ready to take the next step.
According to a source close to the couple, Kate is moving in to Rio’s home, after several months of dating.
The pair were first rumoured to be an item at the beginning of the year, but have been reticent about sharing details with the public.

But it’s clear the couple’s time away over the summer has gone well, with both sharing snaps to Instagram.
Rio posted a shot of Kate walking hand in hand with his three children, captioning it “out for dinner #familytime”
And Kate took a Halloween picture of the kids – from Rio’s relationship with his late wife, Rebecca Ellison.
And now a source close to the couple claims things are getting even more serious.
“She’s all but moved in already – Kate and Rio are inseparable,” the source says.
“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.”
Kate made a name for herself as a star of The Only Way is Essex, where she had a habit of being open about her relationships, but since leaving the show, she’s kept most details to herself.
She claimed leaving the show was to give her the opportunity to concentrate on other business ventures, as well as her relationship with Rio and his family.

“I’m taking a step back from the public eye,” she said at the time, speaking to The Sun.
“I want to keep my life private as I lived my previous relationship on TOWIE, my priority right now is Rio and the family.”
Since then the couple have restricted their public comment to occasional social media posts.
