Amid his grief, Rio met Kate, who he began dating in 2017, however he revealed her introduction to his family was slow moving. The couple wed in Turkey in September 2019 and share two children; Cree, four, and Shae, who turns two later this month. Discussing introducing his relationship to his children, Rio told his wife: 'It's hard, you don't really get over it if you do it wrong, if it's done abruptly without conversations and done the wrong way. 'But if people are saying no, the kids are saying no I don't know, man. I'm just lucky, fortunately we didn't get to that point... 'But if my kids have said no, we're probably not here right now. Because we don't get the chance to get to where we are, where we're like madly in love... 'Because as soon as the kids say no - we were in love at that time, but it was still early enough to think where you go, but on both sides, you go, 'The kids ain't accepting me, I can't get into this. It's too much stress.' Rebecca died aged just 34 after a short battle with breast cancer . She appeared to be in the clear only for a scan to reveal the disease had spread to her bones five weeks before her death, prior to which she planned her own funeral (Rebecca and Rio pictured in 2009) Rebecca's death left Rio a single father to Lorenz, 18, Tate, 16, and Tia, 14 (the family pictured with Kate in 2020) 'And I'm going, 'The kids ain't happy. They're going to have to be number one.' And I think there's a lot of relationships that would end up because of that... 'I don't know how you push on after you've just found someone, you fell in love with them, you two together, and the kids aren't involved in that... 'And then when they get involved and not happy, I don't know how you still move forward together like that unless you separate it.' On navigating the introduction stages, he said: ''I do think it's important in the way that you introduce this new person into the house. We very much were on the basis, we talked a lot before we even broached the idea with the kids... 'We brought Kate in as a friend first, they started seeing her around at different things that we go into friends' houses, et cetera. Kate will be there. And Ronnie, the dog, which is a great softener as well... 'But those moments of familiarity and, 'Oh, it's only Kate,' soften that next move where you go, 'Right, guys,' and you bring that. I just think we were really much about bringing them into the conversation, make them feel, have some ownership over the whole situation... ''Listen, guys, you remember Kate?' Let's see where we go then, Dad.' I think if you do it wrong, I've been in a situation, my own family recently, where it's done wrong. And I've been part of the ramifications of that and the repercussions'.

She attempted to keep a low-profile by wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses, and appeared downcast without George by her side. Charli and George exchanged vows in front of 20 close friends and family members, including the groom's bandmates Adam Hann and Ross MacDonald. Taking to TikTok, Charli showed off her leggy Vivienne Westwood wedding dress, which she teamed with shades and strutted into view before turning on her heels and exiting. She joked: 'When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle' only to reassure followers in the caption that the drummer 'luckily did'.

The gang partied and danced the night away to Charli's music, captioning the clip: 'Bridal party energy!'. On her big day Charli was the epitome of style in the white mini dress which boasted a plunging boat neckline and draped detailing that she wore with a traditional veil. Slipping her feet into Jimmy Choo heels, the singer kept her long black hair loose and carried a bouquet of white flowers. Meanwhile George wore a dark double breasted suit over a light open collared shirt with a flower, that matched his wife's bouquet, in his button hole. The newlyweds posed for sweet snaps with the songstress' proud parents Jon and Shameera Aitchison. Following the wedding the couple reportedly headed to nearby by Italian restaurant Dalla where they dined alfresco and sipped Aperol Spritz before heading to their evening bash at Ellie's bar in Dalston. A source told The Sun: 'Charli's wedding reception was the epitome of Brat. Her and George wanted to keep it very cool, so they shunned cars and walked down Hackney High Street to get to Dalla'. 'The restaurant had closed for them and they had a massive family style meal with loads of pasta and champagne. 'People walking past were stunned when they saw Charli and George having a cheeky pre-dinner cigarette outside;. It turns out bandmate Matty was in LA for the screening of I Know What You Did Last Summer, in which his fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel stars in. On Friday evening, the singer was spotted arriving at the venue dressed in a leather jacket over a white top with a red lightning bolt, paired with blue jeans. Matty, who has been linked to Gabbriette since September 2023, appeared in good spirits as he left his vehicle and headed into the event. Later taking to TikTok Charli showed off her leggy wedding dress, which she teamed with shades, for the fun clip as she strutting into a room before turning on her heels and exiting MailOnline has contacted George and Matty's representatives for comment.
